    • LPSW Welsh Language

    Welsh Government has made a commitment to 'Iaith Pawb', the Government’s strategy for creating a bilingual Wales where English and Welsh are used equally. For further information please see the following websites: 

    It is the policy of Llangyfelach Primary Wraparound to support children in our care to learn and use the Welsh language.

    We do this by:

    • Recognising that Welsh language development can be the starting point for children to begin to communicate in Welsh.

    • Accessing information and help from the Welsh Language Board.

    • Including the Welsh language in developing understanding of Welsh culture, feelings of belonging and a sense of heritage, roots and community with children in our care.

    • Understanding that Welsh language development can provide additional social and cultural opportunities in later life.

    • Informing parent/carers of our commitment to Welsh language development and how this is reflected in the setting.

    • Supporting staff to undertake Welsh language training opportunities.

    • Considering applicants’ ability in the Welsh language when recruiting staff.

    • Maintaining a range of adult resources and contact details of relevant individuals and organisations to support staff in promoting Welsh language development.

    • Supporting the learning of Welsh, gradually and naturally, in a rich and lively environment, through firsthand experiences that are fun.

    • Ensuring that learning is supportive and respected and that children’s and adults’ efforts are acknowledged and praised.

    • Encouraging and promoting Welsh as an integral part of everyday activities and practice.

    • Providing a range of resources and activities that include and support the development of the Welsh language and culture.

    • Identifying members of staff who use Welsh.

    • Encouraging a Welsh language ‘buddy system’ for staff.

    • Encouraging parents/carers who speak Welsh to use it while visiting the provision.

    • Ensuring that when advertising events locally, English and Welsh will be equal in terms of size, format, quality, clarity and prominence.

    • Monitoring the contribution that the use of Welsh language makes in the provision and seeking ways to increase and improve it.
