During the 2023/24 academic year, this development plan was prepared with support from the Welsh Language Commissioner’s Tîm Hybu and in May 2024, we are pleased to have received Cynnig Cymraeg accreditation. This award is given to organisations who have a strong Welsh Language development plan, and we're delighted we're the first SU in Wales to receive one. Through the development of this plan, we are strengthening our commitment to the Welsh Language and setting out our future aspirations.

This academic year also saw the introduction of a new elected Vice President Welsh Language, Community and Culture who represents all those who use Cymraeg within the Union, University and beyond. Our full Welsh Language Policy can be found here, and we are in the process of reviewing the policy as part of renewed commitment to Cymraeg within the Union.
