support of our EDI strategy and our obligations under the Equality Act 2010. This work will support us in making a more strategic and effective use of positive action, to reduce disadvantage or under-representation within our workforce, where appropriate.

EDI legal insights

We developed a new, quarterly EDI Legal Insights Report. This raises awareness about significant legal cases involving EDI and human rights issues that have relevance for the GPhC. Topics included gender fluid and non-binary discrimination, race discrimination, sexual harassment in the workplace, compulsory vaccination policies and conscientious objection.

Communicating with the Welsh-speaking public

During 2021/22 we have continued to publish our key documents in Welsh, including standards, guidance and our consultation documents. We have continued to use Recite Me on our website, and on our inspections publication website. This is an accessibility tool which includes automated Welsh translation.

Welsh language standards

We await the introduction of the Welsh Language regulations for professional health regulators and have worked with the other regulators and Welsh Government to understand how the standards will apply to us. We are also working with Y Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol on a Welsh language awareness online course for all GPhC staff members.
