The LSC Welsh Language Scheme
We have prepared a Welsh Language Scheme setting out how we propose to deliver services to the public in Wales.
We launched a consultation at the Eisteddfod in August 2005. Following analysis of responses, a final version was prepared and then approved by the Welsh Language Board on 16 March 2006.
The consultation paper and a summary of responses (available in English and Welsh) is on our Closed consultations page.
Copies of the scheme and summaries of how we propose to implement it are on the Our publications page.

Wales Committee for the CLS Minutes
The Wales Committee for the Community Legal Service (CLS) was officially launched on Friday 2 March 2007 at the Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff Bay.
The purpose of the Committee is to strengthen and improve the delivery of the Community Legal Service in Wales by bringing together policy makers and funders of legal and advice services.
The Committee will facilitate joint planning of other public services which impact on clients’ legal advice service needs.
