Semta – Welsh Language Scheme
The Scheme received the Welsh Language Board’s full approval
under Section 14 (1) of the Act on 01/08/2007.
Semta has adopted the principle that in the conduct of public
business in Wales it will treat Welsh and English on a basis of
equality. This Scheme sets out how Semta will implement that
principle in the provision of services to the public in Wales.
Semta recognises that individuals can express their views and
needs better in their preferred language and that enabling them to
use their preferred language is a matter of good practice rather
than a concession and that the denial of that right could place
them at a real disadvantage. Semta will therefore offer the public
the right to choose which language to use in all dealings with it
and will also apply this principle to its expectations of the
bodies with whom it deals.
Cynllun Iaith Gymraeg Semta
Mae’r Cynllun wedi derbyn sêl bendith Bwrdd yr Iaith o dan Adran
14 (1) o’r Ddeddf ar 01/08/2007.
Mae SEMTA wedi mabwysiadu’r egwyddor, wrth gynnal busnes
cyhoeddus yng Nghymru, y bydd yn trin y Gymraeg a’r Saesneg ar y
sail eu bod yn gyfartal. Mae’r Cynllun hwn yn nodi sut y bydd SEMTA
yn gweithredu’r egwyddor honno wrth ddarparu gwasanaethau i’r
cyhoedd yng Nghymru.
Mae SEMTA yn cydnabod y gall unigolion fynegi eu barn a’u
hanghenion yn well yn eu dewis iaith ac mai mater o arfer da yn
hytrach na goddefgarwch yw eu galluogi i ddefnyddio’u dewis iaith
ac y gall gwadu’r hawl i ddefnyddio eu dewis iaith eu rhoi mewn
sefyllfa anfanteisiol. Bydd SEMTA felly yn cynnig yr hawl i’r
cyhoedd ddewis pa iaith i’w defnyddio wrth ymdrin ag ef ac yn
cymhwyso’r egwyddor hon i ddisgwyliadau ar y cyrff y mae’n delio â
nhw.
