Simple Changes #51
Ensure that all of your access points have bilingual greetings.
Problem
About a third of people in work who can speak Welsh always speak Welsh with their work colleagues, a third sometimes speak Welsh and a third never do.
Simple Change
The Welsh public sector has huge potential for promoting the Welsh language and by ensuring that all your access points have bilingual greetings, you are supporting people to feel empowered to use whatever language they feel most comfortable using, while providing learners with the opportunity to try out a few simple phrases in Welsh and develop their understanding.
Case Study
Who is doing this?
Bilingual access points
The National Library of Wales recognises that Wales has two official languages - English and Welsh. So, their signs, lanyards, emails, communications, press releases, marketing, promotion, service delivery are all completely bilingual to encourage the use of both languages.
