Common use of Welsh Language Clause in Contracts

Welsh Language. 3.7.1. The Welsh Language Standards were published by the Welsh Language Commissioner as a set of legally binding requirements that have applied from the 30th March 2016. The principal aim of the Welsh Language Standards is to ensure that Welsh is not treated less favourably than English, thus ensuring greater consistency in Welsh Language services. The Standards therefore allow individuals to access services via the medium of Welsh, English or bilingually. The Council published Strategaeth Hybu’s Gymraeg/Welsh Language Promotion Strategy in September 2016, which alongside the Standards, will be adhered to at each stage of the plan-making process.
