Welsh's Official Status and the Welsh Language Standards
Welsh has official status in Wales under the Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011, which also established the Office of the Welsh Language Commissioner. Public bodies operating in Wales, including local authorities, the Welsh Government, Senedd Cymru and GIG Cymru (NHS Wales), work to Welsh Language Standards that set out when documents, forms, signage and correspondence must be provided bilingually. Businesses working with these public bodies, whether as suppliers, contractors or tenderers, are often expected to meet the same bilingual standard across the documents they submit.
