Detail

HMCTS has adopted the principle that it will treat both Welsh and English language equally. This consultation relates to the second iteration of its Welsh Language Scheme.

The Welsh Language Scheme covers the work of its corporate headquarters in London, the central processing centres such as the County Court Money Claims Centre and all the courts and tribunals in Wales.

The amount of change to the way the courts and tribunals operate in the next few years is unprecedented, and the revised scheme needs to reflect this and provide a clear statement to Welsh speakers as to how it will treat the Welsh language equally within the way it provides its services.
