What resources is the Welsh Government providing to support non-fluent parents with their Welsh-speaking children’s school work?

Answered by Minister for Education and the Welsh Language | Answered on 07/12/2023

We have funded RhAG (Rhieni dros addysg Gymraeg) to create a website Welsh4parents and a forum for parents, in particular non-Welsh speaking parents with children in Welsh-medium education. Their website will soon contain information and online resources about Welsh-medium education in 14 community languages.

The National Centre for Learning Welsh offers tailored Welsh at Home courses to support parents and carers. The National Centre also runs the Clwb Cwtsh scheme in partnership with Mudiad Meithrin. Clwb Cwtsh offers informal, light-hearted learning sessions which are free of charge. The Centre also has free online resources on its website for parents with young or school-aged children: Supporting Parents and Families | Learn Welsh.
