In accordance with the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005, Falkirk Council has prepared a Gaelic-Language Plan which has been agreed by Council.

As part of our commitment to developing a bilingual workplace for our employees and to serving our Gaelic speaking customers and clients, Falkirk Council is required to conduct a Gaelic language survey of all employees every 2 years. This information will help us to measure existing Gaelic-language use, to assess our current capacity to provide services and to understand the Gaelic-language training needs of our staff. The information we gather from this survey will help us plan for the development of greater Gaelic language use and visibility at Falkirk Council.

The survey will ask you about your Gaelic-language ability, your Gaelic language training needs and your Gaelic-language use at work.

The Gaelic Language survey is now live and should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete, and we would appreciate if you could take some time to complete the survey. The survey is open for 3 weeks and will close Friday 1 December.

The survey can be found at: Gaelic Language Survey 2023.
