Care Council re-launches one of the largest bilingual websites in Wales
19 October 2009
The Care Council has relaunched its bilingual website.
With almost 900 pages and more than 1,200 documents, the new website is now one of the largest that is produced bilingually in Wales.
The website (www.ccwales.org.uk) contains useful information for people working in all areas of social care, as well as those who receive services and the general public. This includes information for those workers who need to register with the Care Council, as well as guidance on work practices, qualifications, training and careers. There is also a section where those receiving services and the general public can get involved in the work of the organisation.
Care Council Chair, Arwel Ellis Owen said: "At a time when an effective online presence is essential to communicate with those people who need to know about our work, we’ve taken the opportunity to overhaul the design of our website and the way in which we present information to our audiences.
"As a Care Council, we feel it is particularly important that all this information is available bilingually, as one of the key messages we convey to the social care workforce is that choice of language and respect for culture are fundamental to providing high-quality services for those who need them.
"The development of the website is one of many pieces of work to improve the way we communicate, be that with people working in the social care sector, or those who are receiving services. The new website offers a range of information which will be useful to all these audiences, and presented in a way that is simple, clear and easy to find," he added.
