Gaelic Language Plans East Ayrshire Council Gaelic Language Plan 2013-17 This plan has been prepared under Section 3 of the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005 and was approved by Bòrd na Gàidhlig on 2 April 2014. Foreword East Ayrshire has a proud history of promoting Gaelic, including the establishment of educational provision for all age groups from early years to adult education in addition to the active promotion of cultural events within our community. This provision has not only addressed the needs and enthusiasms of those with an interest in Gaelic, it has contributed to the enrichment of the wider community and raised awareness in this area of an important aspect of our nation’s heritage and culture East Ayrshire Council is committed to working with Bòrd na Gàidhlig, our Community Planning Partners and other key stakeholders to help safeguard the Gaelic language, heritage and culture for future generations and, wherever possible, develop the use of the Gaelic language. East Ayrshire Council’s Gaelic Language Plan 2013-17 is the authority’s first such Plan. It sets out our planned aspirations over the next four years, detailing how these will be achieved. It has a strong focus on actions for our young people and members of the community with an interest in Gaelic learning, specifically Gaelic Medium Education, and also seeks to promote a wider interest in Gaelic culture and heritage. Gaelic is alive and continuing to recover in East Ayrshire. In line with the national picture, it is vital to strengthen, through partnership, the local enthusiasm for Gaelic language and culture. It is important, therefore, for East Ayrshire Council to promote, facilitate and encourage interest within our communities, taking forward our planned activity in a way that is proactive but mindful of our local circumstances. The Council is committed in principle to giving Gaelic and English languages equal respect and an active offer of Gaelic Services will be made available to East Ayrshire residents and visitors where they are available. The Council is supportive of the objectives of the National Gaelic Language Plan 2012-17 and the aims of the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005 in ensuring that Gaelic remains a living language, and an integral part of Scotland’s cultural heritage, and we are confident that our Plan works towards this.

The Council is committed to the objectives set out in the National Gaelic Language Plan and has put in place the necessary structures and initiatives to assist in ensuring that Gaelic has a sustainable future in Scotland. The Council recognises that the position of Gaelic is extremely fragile and, if Gaelic is to be revitalised as a living language in Scotland, a concerted effort on the part of government, the public and private sectors, community organisations and individual speakers is required to: • enhance the status of Gaelic; • promote the acquisition and learning of Gaelic; and • encourage the increased use of Gaelic. East Ayrshire Council’s Gaelic Language Plan has been prepared within the framework of the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005. It sets out how we will use Gaelic in the operation of our functions, how we will facilitate the use of Gaelic when communicating with the public and key partners, and how we will promote and develop Gaelic by taking forward our planned activity in a way that is proactive but mindful of local circumstances. The plan is in accordance with statutory criteria set out in the 2005 Act, and has regard to the National Gaelic Language Plan and the Guidance on the Development of Gaelic Language Plans. Structure of the Gaelic Language Plan The key components of our Gaelic Language Plan are: Chapter 1 – Introduction This chapter provides the background and context relating to the preparation of Gaelic Language Plans under the 2005 Act and the structure of East Ayrshire Council’s main areas of operation. It also provides a summary of the demography of the Gaelic language. Chapter 2 – Core Commitments This chapter sets out how the Council will use, and facilitate the use of, Gaelic in relation to our main business functions. It covers key areas of operation such as corporate identity, signage, communication with the public and the use of Gaelic on our website. This chapter sets out the basic minimum level of Gaelic language provision which we are committed to providing in the lifetime of the Plan. Chapter 3 – Policy Implications for Gaelic: implementing the National Gaelic Language Plan This chapter sets out how East Ayrshire Council will help implement the National Gaelic Language Plan. It also shows how we intend to promote the use of Gaelic in the planning and delivery of our services, as appropriate. Chapter 4 – Implementation and Monitoring This chapter sets out how the implementation of our Gaelic Language Plan will be taken forward, and how implementation and outcomes will be monitored. Chapter 1 - Introduction The Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005 was passed by the Scottish Parliament with a view to securing the status of the Gaelic language as an official language of Scotland commanding equal respect to the English language. One of the key features of the 2005 Act is the provision enabling Bòrd na Gàidhlig to require public bodies to prepare Gaelic Language Plans. This provision was designed to ensure that the public sector in Scotland plays its part in creating a sustainable future for Gaelic by raising its status and profile and creating practical opportunities for its use. The 2005 Act requires public bodies to bring the preparation of its Gaelic Language Plan to the attention of all interested parties. East Ayrshire Council consulted publicly on the draft of its Gaelic Language Plan in early 2013 and took into account representations made to it during the consultation process. OVERVIEW OF EAST AYRSHIRE East Ayrshire has a high quality environment with good quality services, including health, education, social and leisure services and a strong community spirit. It has a rich and varied landscape and much to offer in terms of natural heritage and scientific interest, and the built environment has a distinctive local character. East Ayrshire has a varied rural hinterland where agricultural and former mining communities exist side by side. It has large areas of attractive countryside but there are also areas of substantial socio-economic disadvantage. Rural communities may be remote from services, job opportunities and activities that people in more central or urban areas take for granted. Demographic of East Ayrshire East Ayrshire has a population of approximately 122,700 (Source: Census 2011), living in an area of 490 square miles, from Lugton in the north to Loch Doon in the south, 97% of this area is rural. The deindustrialisation of the local economy has resulted in the population decreasing by 6% since 1981. East Ayrshire’s residents are predominately White Scottish at 94.22% and White British at 3.94%. Kilmarnock is the major urban area in East Ayrshire with a population of around 44,000. The rest of the population lives in smaller communities ranging from a few hundred people to around 9,000 people in Cumnock (Source: Census 2011). Population projections indicate that the population is expected to remain relatively stable between now and 2020 and 2033, although demographic shift will realign the distribution of the population by decreasing the child (-8%) and working age population (-16%) and increasing the pensionable age population by 45%. The dependency ratio is therefore expected to increase from 57% in 2010 to 82% by 2033. For all economy-related indicators, East Ayrshire is significantly worse than Scotland. The claimant count unemployment rate for East Ayrshire is recorded at 6.1% in February 2013 (Source: Nomis, 2013). Formation and Operation of East Ayrshire Council Kilmarnock and Loudoun (Cille Mheàrnaig agus Lughdan) and Cumnock and Doon Valley (Cumnag agus Srath Dhùin) were 2 of 19 local government district councils in the Strathclyde Regional Council area from 1975 to 1996. Both district councils and Strathclyde Regional Council were abolished in 1996 by the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 and were combined to form East Ayrshire Council which came into being on 1 April 1996. East Ayrshire Council has around 6,300 employees delivering 27,000 different services to our residents. Council headquarters is based at London Road, Kilmarnock. It is a high performing organisation and this is consistently evidenced through internal Best Value and self-assessment processes and through external validation from organisations such as Audit Scotland. The Council has a 2012/13 revenue budget of £342.9 million. The Community Plan continues to be recognised as the sovereign planning document for the East Ayrshire area, providing the overarching strategic policy framework for the delivery of services by the Council and its Partner agencies. In addition, the Plan acts as the Council’s Corporate Plan. Our vision is set out below: ‘East Ayrshire will be a place with strong, vibrant communities where everyone has a good quality of life and access to opportunities, choices and high quality services which are sustainable, accessible and meet people’s needs.’ The Council is split into nine multi-member wards with either 3 or 4 Councillors representing each ward.

Community planning puts local people at the heart of delivering services. It is not just about creating a plan or a vision but about jointly tackling major issues such as health, transport, employment, housing, education and community safety. These issues need a shared response from, and the full involvement of, not only public sector agencies but also local businesses, voluntary organisations and especially local people. The community planning partners in East Ayrshire are committed to working together to make a real difference to the lives of all people in the area. We have already achieved a lot through joint working, but we still need to do a lot more to make sure that everybody has a good quality of life. Together, those who deliver services and those who live in our communities will build on our early success and on existing partnerships and strategies to create a shared understanding of the future for East Ayrshire.
