of the Petition
I call on the Welsh Government, in
collaboration with Mudiad Meithrin, to revisit the previous government’s
detrimental decision to cancel the TWF project. Specifically I call on the
Government to take urgent action to:
- reverse the decision
to cut £200,000 from TWF’s successor project
- restore the
continuity of support offered by TWF which focussed on language transfer
and national, rather than piecemeal, support for parents and children.
This would entail the reappointment of officers to posts with a presence
in Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Gwynedd,
Anglesey, Monmouthshire, Torfaen and Wrexham
- ensure funding for
activities that promote the Welsh language for parents with links to
services such as Welsh for Adults, the Mentrau Iaith (Language Initiatives),
libraries and leisure centres, including activities that also provide
support for post-natal mental health.
