Welsh language is a living breathing language in our organisation. In practical terms this means:
- The team uses it every day, in every aspect of our work;
- It is not something we just use to convey messages but it is a way of us connecting with one another and those who we are here to represent;
- Among those in the Team who do not speak Welsh there is goodwill and a sense of ownership towards learning and using the language;
- There is recognition by all of its contribution to the culture, society and economy of Wales;
- We achieve, and in some cases surpass, our statutory obligations under the standards outlined in the Welsh Language Measure (Wales) 2011;
- There is ownership of our aspirations to comply, promote and protect the Welsh language at Management Team level; and
- We monitor our activities through Management Team meetings, hold joint responsibility and agree proactive steps to support and increase the use of the language in our workplace.
