Priorities for the Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee

Inquiry5

 

Background

 

Over the summer 2017 the Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee held a public consultation on Priorities for the Fifth Assembly. As a result, the Committee considered the consultation responses and formed a poll for the public to decide on what topic would be prioritised next.

 

They did this by creating a survey for people to enter. The topics that were agreed to be voted on were as follows:

 

- strengthening citizen participation and access to political information;

- preserving local cultural heritage in Wales;

- review the teaching of history in Wales to focus on Welsh culture and heritage

- how to develop and promote the Wales brand;

- the Welsh Government’s Expert Review of Local Museum Provision in Wales;

- how to support and encourage the unique and traditional art forms of Wales;

- access to and funding of the arts at a grassroots and local level;

- strategy for artists’ fees and terms for the visual and applied arts in Wales;

- a strategy to develop the music industry in Wales;

- funding for and access to music education;

- bilingual support for deaf, hard of hearing and people with communication difficulties.

 

The Committee Chair released a statement in plenary regarding the poll  on 28 September 2016.

 

The Committee poll ended 14 November 2016.

 

As a result of this public consultation exercise the committee decided to carry out inquiries into preserving local cultural heritage in Wales and the teaching of history in Wales to focus on Welsh culture and heritage.
