Welsh Language Standards Annual Report 2025-26

Corporate Strategy

The Council’s Corporate Strategy sets and expresses our Well-being Objectives. Three actions relate to the Welsh language:

• Develop and produce a new Welsh Language Strategy by 2026, with the involvement of all key stakeholders.
• Ongoing delivery of cultural projects which strengthen connections with language, well-being, and place (cynefin)
• Support and promote the use of Welsh as a first language, including implementing the Welsh in Education Strategic Plan and hosting the National Eisteddfod in 2026.

Progress against our Corporate Strategy 2025-30 is reported through our annual self-assessment report in the Autumn, and this report contributes to that assessment process. Further information on the Welsh Language Strategy for 2026-31 and the Eisteddfod are provided later in this report.
