Arad’s final report as part of the evaluation of More than just words – the follow-on strategic framework for Welsh language services in health, social services and social care, 2016 to 2019 – has been published by the Welsh Government. The report is available here.

The report assesses the extent to which, and how, ‘More than just words’ has promoted and supported use of the Welsh language across the health, social services and social care sector.

The report presents findings on progress towards each of the follow-on framework’s seven key objectives and considers the facilitators and barriers to implementation. The report makes a series of recommendations covering the future role of ‘More than just words’ and how to address the achievement gaps and implementation barriers.
