Welsh Language

Torfaen Council is committed to offering the public an equal standard of service in Welsh and English, in line with the requirements of the Welsh Language Act (1993). The Council’s new Welsh Language Scheme|, approved by the Welsh Language Board on the 31st March 2011, sets out the measures it is taking to realise this commitment.

 

Each year, the Council has a statutory duty to submit a Monitoring report| to the Welsh Language Board, analysing the progress it has made in implementing its scheme. A copy of this year’s report (2010-2011) is available to download. Please note that this is the last report on the 2006-2009 Welsh Language Scheme.

 

Over the past year the Welsh Language Board has conducted three inspections on Welsh Language Services. A copy of their findings can be found below :

1. Official Notices and Recruitment Advertisements 
2. The 2010 General Election – Availability of Voting Forms and Related Information in Welsh 
3. Inspection of Welsh Local Authority Websites and On-line Services 2010

Mae Cyngor Torfaen wedi ymrwymo i gynnig gwasanaeth i'r cyhoedd o safon gyfartal yn y Gymraeg a’r Saesneg, yn unol â gofynion Deddf yr Iaith Gymraeg (1993). Mae Cynllun Iaith Gymraeg| newydd y Cyngor, a gymeradwywyd gan Fwrdd yr Iaith Gymraeg ar 31ain Mawrth 2011, yn nodi'r mesurau y mae'n eu cymryd i wireddu'r ymrwymiad hwn.

 

Bob blwyddyn, mae gan y Cyngor ddyletswydd statudol i gyflwyno Adroddiad Monitro| i Fwrdd yr Iaith Gymraeg, sydd yn dadansoddi'r cynnydd a wnaed wrth weithredu ei gynllun. Mae copi o'r adroddiad eleni (2010-2011) ar gael i'w lawrlwytho. Nodwch fod hwn yr adroddiad olaf ar y Cynllun Iaith Gymraeg 2006-2009.

 

Dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf, mae'r Bwrdd yr Iaith Gymraeg wedi cynnal tri arolygiad ar y Gwasanaethau Iaith Gymraeg. Gellir gweld copi o'u canfyddiadau isod:

1. Hysbysiadau Swyddogol a Hysbysebion Recriwtio 
2. Etholiad Cyffredinol 2010 - Argaeledd Ffurflenni Pleidleisio a Gwybodaeth Gysylltiedig yn y Gymraeg 
3. Arolygiad o Gwefannau Awdurdodau Lleol Cymru ac ar-lein Gwasanaethau 2010 Cymraeg / Saesneg
