Plana Gàidhlig
Tha Poileas Alba fìor thoilichte ar Plana Gàidhlig fhoillseachadh. Anns a’ phlana, tha sinn a’ cur air adhart a’ phlana leasachaidh còig bliadhna againn airson taic a thoirt dhan Ghàidhlig, cho math ri bhith a’ sealltainn ar dealas airson a bhith a’ cuideachadh gus miannan agus amasan Plana Cànain Nàiseanta na Gàidhlig a choileanadh.
Chaidh Achd na Gàidhlig (Alba) 2005 aontachadh le Pàrlamaid na h-Alba gus inbhe na Gàidhlig a dhaingneachadh mar chànain oifigeil ann an Alba aig a bheil spèis cho-ionnan ris a’ Bheurla. Bidh am plana seo a’ brosnachadh iomairtean gus àireamhan de luchd-labhairt na Gàidhlig a mheudachadh ann an Alba, a bharrachd air cothroman a bhrosnachadh gus cànan is cultar na Gàidhlig inntrigeadh.
Fon achd, feumaidh ùghdarrasan poblach Albannach sònraichte planaichean Gàidhlig ullachadh agus fhoillseachadh.
A’ toiseachadh air an 15mh an Dàmhair 2015, chuir Poileas Alba co-chomhairle air bhog air ar Plana Gàidhlig a bha fosgailte fad dà sheachdain deug. Tha dàta bhon a’ cho-chomhairle seo an cois, còmhla ri cuid mholaidhean àraidh.
Tha am Plana Gàidhlig againn a’ cur an cèill ciamar a bhios sinn a’ cleachdadh na Gàidhlig ann an obair-phoileis gus àite seasmhach a chruthachadh airson na Gàidhlig ann am beatha poblach na h-Alba.
Gaelic language plan
Police Scotland is delighted to introduce its Gaelic language plan. In it we are setting out our five year plan for the support of Gaelic.
It also shows our commitment to help achieve the aspirations and objectives in the National Gaelic Language Plan.
The Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005 was passed by the Scottish Parliament.
The aim was to secure the status of the Gaelic language as an official language of Scotland. This is in equal status to the English language.
The key aims of the act are to establish a statutory Gaelic body, which is called Bòrd na Gàidhlig.
This is to encourage the use and understanding of Gaelic and who has developed a National Gaelic Language Plan.
The plan promotes strategies for increasing the number of Gaelic speakers in Scotland. It also facilitates access to Gaelic language and culture.
Under the act certain Scottish public authorities need to prepare and publish Gaelic language plans.
Police Scotland held a consultation on our Gaelic Language Plan. Data from this consultation, as well as some key suggestions that were submitted, are added to our plan.
Police Scotland supports the aim of the National Gaelic Language Plan 2018-23 that “Gaelic is used more often, by more people and in a wider range of situations.”
We are committed to achieving this aim by focussing our work to:
- Increase the use of Gaelic within our organisation and encouraging more people to use Gaelic more often when they interact with us,
- Promote a positive image of Gaelic whenever we can as part of our day-to-day operations as an organisation.
