Our Welsh Language Scheme
The Vale of Glamorgan Council has adopted the principle that in
the conduct of public business it will treat the Welsh language and
the English language on the basis of equality.
We are pleased to announce that
the Welsh Language Board has approved our revised Welsh
Language Scheme.
If you wish to make any comments or require further
information on the Scheme, please contact the corporate equalities
officer.
The aim of the scheme is to:
- ensure that the Vale Council is fully aware of its obligations
under the Welsh Language Act 1993
- raise awareness on issues relating to the Welsh Language
Scheme
- assist departments to plan effectively for bilingual service
provision
- assist employees to develop Welsh language skills by
identifying, promoting and monitoring a range of training
programmes
Welsh Language services
This website has a Welsh version, www.bromorgannwg.gov.uk which
contains the most popular pages on the site among users visiting
the Vale online.
Since the launch of the OneVale contact centre, we offer a
Welsh-language call centre service which can deal with the majority
of your enquires in Welsh immediately, without having to transfer
you to various departments. There is one number to call: 01446
700111 and Welsh speakers can press 1 to get through to a
Welsh-speaking representative. Guidance has also been issued to our
staff on the translation of publications into Welsh in the form of
our Welsh
Language Publication Guide.
