This document contains information about the Cairngorms National Park Authority's plan to consult with the public on its new Gaelic Language Plan for 2024-28. The consultation, which is scheduled to begin around 15 January 2024 and last for six weeks, aims to gather feedback on how the Park Authority can best promote and support the Gaelic language. This is in line with the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005, which requires public authorities to develop Gaelic Language Plans. The consultation will involve making the draft plan available in both Gaelic and English, and the Park Authority is setting aside a budget of up to £5,000 to support communication efforts. The document asks the board to review the engagement approach and agree that the consultation can begin on 15 January 2024.
