    FOREWORD Acorn was set up by a group of volunteers in August 2011 to promote positive mental health and improve the emotional health and wellbeing of individuals experiencing mental health issues in Neath Port Talbot. This directory has been produced because members of Acorn identified the need for information about services and support organisations to be easily available and in one place. It is estimated that one in four people will experience mental ill health at some point in their lifetime, so mental illness will, at one time or another impact on many of our lives, either directly or through family, friends or colleagues. It is important to be able to find the right help, support and guidance easily so we hope this directory will help to achieve this. We have tried to focus on local services, but where these don’t exist we have put together a section on national organisations, websites and help lines. If you would like to comment on the directory or contact members of Acorn please email: [email protected]. For further information, please contact Emma Jones on 01639 631 246.

  • Neath Port Talbot Welsh Language Promotion Strategy
    Neath Port Talbot Welsh Language Promotion Strategy This document is also available in Welsh Introduction The Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011, passed by the National Assembly for Wales, modernised the existing legal framework regarding the use of the Welsh language in the delivery of public services. The 2011 Measure also included: • giving the Welsh Language official status in Wales meaning that Welsh should be treated no less favourably than the English language; • establishing the role of the Welsh Language Commissioner who has responsibility for promoting the Welsh language and improving the opportunities people have to use it; • creating a procedure for introducing duties in the form of language standards that explain how organizations are expected to use the Welsh language and create rights for Welsh speakers; • making provision regarding promoting and facilitating the use of the Welsh language and increasing its use in everyday life; • making provision regarding investigating an interference with the freedom to use the Welsh language. The Measure gives the Welsh Language Commissioner authority to impose duties on a wide range of organisations to provide services in Welsh, to mainstream the language into policy development, and to develop strategies with regard to increasing the use of Welsh at work. The Welsh Language Commissioner issued Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, along with all other local authorities in Wales, with a Compliance Notice under Section 44 of the Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011. The Compliance Notice contained 171 Welsh Language Standards the Council had to comply with in respect of the delivery of Welsh language services. A range of standards relating to service delivery, policy making, operational, promotion and record keeping, were applied to the Council.

  • Cyngor Sir Powys County Council. Portfolio Holder
    CYNGOR SIR POWYS COUNTY COUNCIL. PORTFOLIO HOLDER DELEGATED DECISION by County Councillor Arwel Jones, Portfolio Holder for Education and Children’s Services REPORT AUTHOR: Sarah Astley, Welsh in Education Strategic Plan Co- ordinator SUBJECT: Transfer of pupils from Ysgol Gymraeg Dyffryn y Glowyr to Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera REPORT FOR: Decision Summary Pupils educated through the medium of Welsh in the Ystradgynlais area currently transfer out of county to receive Welsh-medium secondary education at Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera, in Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council. Currently, there is no formal agreement between the two authorities to acknowledge that Ysgol Gymraeg Dyffryn y Glowyr, the Welsh-medium primary school for pupils from the Ystradgynlais area, is within the catchment area of Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera in respect of Welsh-medium progression. Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council is planning to remodel Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera, which is likely to lead to a reduction in capacity at the school. Although the number of pupils currently educated through the medium of Welsh at Ysgol Gymraeg Dyffryn y Glowyr is being considered as part of this remodelling work, there is a need to ensure that transition to Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera is formalised for Welsh-medium pupils from the Ystradgynlais area, to enable them to continue to access places at Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera. Formalising this arrangement with Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council is included as a target in the authority’s Welsh in Education Strategic Plan (WESP) for 2014-2017. Proposal To commence the procedures and discussions with Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council to include Ystradgynlais and the surrounding wards of Powys within the catchment area of Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera in respect of Welsh-medium secondary provision.
