Welsh language in social care conference - 5 March 2025

5 March 2025, Welsh Government offices, Llandudno Junction

Join us for our first Welsh language conference on the theme of ‘Language, dignity and care’.

The conference is free to attend and is open to anyone working in social care in Wales. Come along to celebrate inspirational work, share good practice and hear about the resources and support available for services to provide excellent social care through the medium of Welsh.

Gemma Halliday, our Assistant Director for the Welsh language, said: “We’re excited to host our first conference focusing on the Welsh language in social care. “The conference will be an opportunity for you hear from others and make connections with people to develop your knowledge about ways of working bilingually.

“We hosted a similar session earlier in the year for the early years and childcare sector which we built on at this year's recent early years and childcare conference.

“We want to help give people working in social care the confidence to meet the Welsh language needs of the people they support. A bilingual workforce means individuals can express themselves in their language of choice, which lets us get to the ‘heart of the matter’ much more effectively and comfortably.”  

Attending the conference will count towards your continuing professional development (CPD) hours, if you’re registered with us.
