  • Draft: for Testing Purposes January – February 2019
    Draft: for testing purposes January – February 2019 Draft: for testing purposes January – February 2019 Draft: for testing purposes January – February 2019 This journey checker sets out where steps contribute to the other well-being goals, using the icons set out below: Link to goals / ways of working Prosperous Resilient Healthier Equal Community Cohesion Culture and Welsh language Global Involvement Supporting the Welsh language Contributing to the Welsh Government’s ambition of 1m Welsh speakers in Wales by 2050 through developing opportunities to utilise the language, cultivating skills and nurturing greater awareness and appreciation of the benefits of being part of a multilingual nation Defining the issue: According to the census statistics, the number of Welsh speakers overall has fallen from 582,000 in 2001 to 562,000 in 2011, despite an increase in the size of the population, indicating that just 19% of the population are Welsh speakers. This is far short of the Welsh Government’s target of 1m Welsh speakers by 2050. Recent Canadian research demonstrates the value of bilingualism to not only the economy but to individuals through cognitive and social benefits. We need to find ways to improve the perception of the language, make it an inherent part of who we are in Wales and give people every opportunity (where they want it) to learn, maintain and develop their personal language skills. The Public Services, as the largest employer in Wales, has a huge contribution to make to this agenda and to making it possible for the Welsh Government to meet its ambitious target that will ultimately strengthen Wales’s identity and uniqueness.

  • The Welsh Language in Business
    The Welsh Language in Business carmarthenshire.gov.wales/business 1 Why use the Welsh Language in your business? There is a business advantage of using Welsh Offering a language choice to your customer is good practice in terms of customer care and shows respect for the customer and respect for the Welsh language. We live in a bilingual country. According to the 2011 census, there are almost 80,000 Welsh speakers in Carmarthenshire. When you consider that the county’s population is 183,777, nearly 1 in 2 of your customers speak Welsh. Research by Citizens Advice in 2015 found that 94% of fluent Welsh speakers felt that a good Welsh service helped a company to make an impression, while 90% thought that being able to communicate with organisations through the medium of Welsh meant that they were valued as customers. The Welsh language is promoted widely and this is encouraged by the Welsh government, the Welsh language Commissioner and Carmarthenshire County Council and there is an increase in the demand for bilingual education across the county. The Welsh government set a national aim of securing a million Welsh speakers by the year 2050. There’s no need to get everything bilingual immediately. How about taking small steps in order to increase the use of Welsh in your business gradually? There is help available for you to do so. 2 What are the benefits of using Welsh? • It attracts customers 82% of customers in recent research said that they were more likely to choose a company that Helo Blod Business Officers provides a good Welsh language service.

At its meeting on 20 December 2017, Newport’s Cabinet considered and approved changes which were made in response to the outcome of a review of all WESPs undertaken by Aled Roberts and a further consultation with stakeholders which ended in November 2017. These revisions are included within the WESP. On 16th March 2018, Welsh Government wrote to all Councils to reiterate the commitment of achieving the goal of a million Welsh speakers by 2050 and, as part of that commitment, a funding envelope of £30 million would be allocated to support capital projects dedicated to growing the use of the Welsh language in education. Newport City Council will be submitting a full cost bid for capital funding against this grant.
