Ceredigion County Council Celebrates Welsh Language Rights Day.
Today, 7 December 2020, Ceredigion County Council will take part in the national Welsh Language Rights Day. This is a day to celebrate the Welsh language services offered by organisations, and the rights people have to use the Welsh language when dealing with them. It is an opportunity to promote Welsh language services and to try to increase the number who choose to use them.
Today on Welsh Rights Day, Ceredigion County Council is publishing a list of rights so that our service users know they have rights to use the Welsh language. In addition, as a Council we would like to see more people using our services in Welsh. We have set about creating a workforce that can work confidently through the medium of Welsh, and therefore want to encourage people to contact us in Welsh.
These Welsh language rights have been developed in accordance with the Welsh Language Standards. Visit our Welsh Language Standards page for more information.
