Inverclyde Gaelic Language Plan 2023/28
Inverclyde Council recognises the value and importance of Gaelic to Scotland and is committed to playing its part in helping sustain and develop Scotland’s national language.
The Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005, places a responsibility on public authorities to support Gaelic through the development and implementation of a Gaelic Language Plan. The Inverclyde Gaelic Language Plan 2023/28 sets out how we will increase the visibility of Gaelic, promote its acquisition and learning and encourage its use locally to help safeguard its future in Scotland by adopting the over-arching principles of equal respect; an active offer and establishing a long-term vision for Gaelic within Inverclyde.
The plan also details Inverclyde Council's commitment to the delivery of a number of strategic level actions, closely linked to the National Gaelic Language Plan 2023/28. These are framed around the headings of:-
- Increasing the use of Gaelic
- Increasing the learning of Gaelic
Following a six week public consultation, the Plan was approved by Inverclyde Council's Policy and Resources Committee at its meeting on 1st February 2022 and was submitted to Bòrd na Gàidhlig for final assessment and approval. The Plan received Ministerial approval on 3rd July 2023 and is available to download in both English and Gaelic in the Documents section of this page.
As part of the governance of the Plan, Inverclyde Council will submit an Annual Monitoring Report to Bòrd na Gàidhlig on the progress being made with its implementation.
