Most Welsh language schemes include a commitment to ensure that conditions with regard to the use of Welsh are included with any offer of a grant or loan. Any scheme which does not include such a commitment should be amended by the public body concerned, under section 16 of the Act. An appropriate form of words is included in this advice.

Research commissioned by the Board in 2005 showed that only a few public bodies had procedures in place to ensure that this commitment is delivered. This advice has been produced, therefore, to ensure that public bodies operate in accordance with their own Welsh language schemes.

This guidance is aimed at public bodies that have a statutory Welsh language scheme as well as organisations that are not public bodies, when they are distributing grants on behalf of a public body.
