Carers Wales Welsh language policy

Our key commitments

• Everyone is encouraged to communicate with Carers Wales in the Welsh language where that is their preference. If a member of our team is unable to speak or write confidently in Welsh, we will arrange for communication with a Welsh speaking member of staff as soon as possible.

• All our information and advice resources specific to carers in Wales will be available bi-lingually. This includes all physical and online resources. Any resources currently not available in Welsh will be made bi-lingual when the resource is updated.

• All our training, workshops, seminars and conferences will be delivered bi-lingually via the use of simultaneous translation or specific Welsh language sessions depending on the type of activity involved. Carers are encouraged to contact us if they wish to participate in Welsh for any session advertised.

• As we move forward, we will look to increase our ability to offer the Welsh and English language equally across our communication platforms. These changes will be adopted as and when opportunities arise.

• Our staff will be encouraged to continually develop their Welsh language skills with courses and training throughout their time with the organisation.
