Welsh Language Scheme

This Scheme, prepared in accordance with the Welsh Language Act 1993, provides the Food Standards Agency with a further platform on which to continue building its commitment to putting the consumer first.

The Agency recognises that a large number of its consumers are Welsh language speakers and this Scheme outlines the measures the Agency will take when conducting its business through the medium of Welsh. Since its inception, the Agency has been committed to ensuring that it will treat the English and Welsh languages on an equal basis. It recognises, particularly in Wales, that for many,Welsh is the first language spoken.The principles outlined in this Scheme apply throughout the Agency as a whole.
