Welsh Language Standards

The Welsh Language Standards were prepared under the Welsh Language (Wales) Measures 2011(1) and the Welsh Language Standards (No.1) Regulations 2015 which came into force on 31^st March 2015.

In introducing the Welsh Language Measure and Welsh Language Standards, the Welsh Government's aims are to:-

increase and improve Welsh language services for the people of Wales;
ensure greater clarity and consistency in terms of the services that can be expected in Welsh;
give the people of Wales rights in terms of receiving services through the medium of Welsh.

Welsh Language Commissioner

The principal aim of the Welsh Language Commissioner, an independent organisation established under the Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011, is to promote and facilitate the use of Welsh.

The Commissioner's vision is for a Wales where people can use Welsh in their everyday lives. For more information: Welsh Language Commissioner (opens in a new tab)

When providing information to the general public Pembrokeshire County Council will do so bilingually. We will always treat Welsh and English equally.

A compliance notice was issued to the Council on 30 September 2015 and places a requirement on the Council to comply with 148 standards from 31 March 2016 and a further 23 from 30 September 2016.

Welsh in Education Strategic Plan 2022-2031

Local Authorities have a statutory duty to prepare and submit Welsh in Education Strategic Plans (WESP)

The plans must set challenging targets for developing Welsh medium education in their areas and to demonstrate clear actions and steps to maximise opportunities for Welsh medium education. The WESP will effectively become the cornerstone of Pembrokeshire County Council’s contribution towards meeting Welsh Government’s aspiration to have one million Welsh speakers by 2050.

Learn Welsh

People want to learn Welsh for various reasons, but most just want to become proficient in the language. If you decide to learn Welsh you could become one of the hundreds of people who succeed in becoming fluent Welsh speakers every year.
