UK Civil Service

Interested in learning Welsh?
Welcome - Croeso

"Heads of Place Team in Wales have worked collaboratively with Places for Growth in the Cabinet Office, Government Skills, and the National Centre for Learning Welsh, to launch a great learning opportunity for the UK Civil Service.

Free Welsh Language learning is now available to Civil Servants across the UK through the Civil Service-Learning website.

Studies show that learning a new language can have huge benefits as it provides a window of opportunity to immerse yourself into a different culture and can provide you with deeper, and rewarding interactions with colleagues. It is  also an opportunity to practice your new skills at home and in your community.

The process of learning a new language can be personally rewarding. It can boost your confidence, resilience and improve your communication skills."

Newyddion Gwych! As the Permanent Secretary Place Champion for Wales, and a Welsh language learner myself, I am delighted that Civil Servants now have access to free online Welsh Language Learning via the Civil Service Learning portal.

This initiative underpins our commitment to promoting the Welsh language and ensuring its presence across all Government departments - supporting the Welsh Government vision to have one million people speaking Welsh by 2050.

Dame Antonia Romeo DCB | Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Justice and Permanent Secretary Place Champion for Wales.
