The Schools Standards and Organisation (Wales) Act 2013 made
it a statutory requirement for local authorities to produce a Welsh in
Education Strategic Plan (WESP), since 2014.
The 2017-2020 Plan replaces the 2014-2017 WESP.
The Plan will last for three years and will be monitored
annually.
The duty to produce a WESP lies with each local authority,
not with a region.
The WESP contains the authority’s vision and actions for Welsh in education including sufficiency of places in Welsh-medium schools, pre-school provision, out-of-school activities as well as standards in formal education.
