From 25 January 2017, Data Cymru has committed to comply with the Welsh Language Standards, as set out by the Welsh Government under Section 44 of the Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011. These standards set clear expectations on us to provide services in Welsh to our customers, and to promote the use of the Welsh language through all the services.

The language standards we must comply with are divided into 4 different categories:

  • Service Delivery
  • Policy Making
  • Operational
  • Record Keeping

Details of the standards, how we comply with them and how we plan to monitor our compliance can be found in Our Welsh Language Standards and how we comply.

We welcome correspondence in Welsh and English and will respond to correspondence in the same language. Use of either language will not lead to a delay.

Our people are our main asset. Our policies and practice are built around the principles of equality and well-being, ensuring that all of our people have a positive work experience.

We encourage and promote staff development in order to deliver high standards of service. We recognise that work is only one aspect of a person’s life – so we have tried to ensure that our people have the freedom and flexibility to deliver their work in the context of their life outside work. Whilst we have a clear focus on delivery, our policies and our infrastructure are designed to support flexible, remote working, making it easier for our people to balance the demands of home and work.
