Welsh Language Strategy 2023 to 2028: monitoring and regulation

The Welsh Language Strategy is a corporate strategy and the associated Action Plan is a combination of all the approaches related to promoting the use of the Welsh language in Denbighshire. As a result, a number of different Council departments will implement the action plan, as well as some partner organisations. 

All actions within the action plan will be included in the relevant service business plan and will be monitored by the lead member and head of service.  The general leader on the Welsh Language Strategy is the lead member with responsibility for the Welsh language, Culture and Heritage. 

The Council's audit committees will have an important role in monitoring the Strategy, as will the Welsh Language Steering Committee within Denbighshire. We will review our objectives and actions annually and we accept that it may not be possible to accomplish all we hope to do as circumstances change. We will always be transparent about any changes we make, and report any changes and the rationale behind them.

The Council has strong performance management arrangements in place which will be relevant in monitoring and reporting on progress against the Corporate Plan. This will include a robust performance framework that displays indicators, performance measurers and activities with clear targets and expectations that will match our ambition for our communities.
