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 Plan lasts for three years and is monitored annually.
Following a Welsh Government review of all WESPs in Wales, the 2017-2020 Plan has been updated to reflect the required amendments. The WESP has also been updated with progress since its last submission, in line with the requirement to submit a revised WESP each year.
The duty to produce a WESP lies with each local authority, not with a region.
