Question from: County Councillor Liz Rijnenberg Subject: Brecon Schools Transformation - Consultation in Nepali Language

 

Question From:

County Councillor Liz Rijnenberg

Subject:

Brecon Schools Transformation - Consultation in Nepali Language

Question To:

County Councillor Phyl Davies

Portfolio Holder for Education & Property

 

Question:

 

There are more than 80 Nepalese families who have made their home in Brecon. They make a significant contribution to our schools and enrich the quality of life in this Community.  Nepali children have attended Mount Street Schools for several decades.

 

The current consultation does not provide any information in the Nepali Language which amounts to unfavourable treatment of this group. 

 

1.         Will PCC arrange for information to be provided in the Nepali Language?

 

2.         We are now more than 3 weeks into the current consultation process and school holidays are approaching.  Will PCC take account of this significant omission and halt the consultation until a translation of the information can be provided?

Response by the Portfolio Holder:

 

The Council has extended the period of consultation regarding proposals related to Mount St Infants School, Mount St Juniors Schools and Cradoc CP School until the 12th May, and consultation documentation are being translated into Nepali.
