Bòrd na Gàidh­lig TEAMPLAID FOIRM DEAR­CNA­CHAIDH PLANAICHEAN CÀNAIN GÀIDH­LIG GAEL­IC LAN­GUAGE PLAN MON­IT­OR­ING FORM TEMPLATE

Stiùire­adh:

Fo sgèith Achd na Gàidh­lig (Alba) 2005 faodaidh am Bòrd aith­isg dear­cna­chaidh iar­raidh bho dh’ ùgh­dar­rasan poblach le fios mu adhartas air liubhairt toraid­hean a’ phlana. ​‘S e am prìomh amas aig a’ Bhòrd gum faigh an ùgh­dar­ras cothrom a bhith a’ dèanamh tom­hais air adhartas agus rèiteachadh a ghabhail os làimh ma tha feum air. Cuideachd gus fa-near a thoirt air adhartas nas motha na bha an ùgh­dar­ras an dùil. A bhar­rachd air seo, tha tha am pròiseas seo a’ toirt cothroim don ùgh­dar­ras a bhith a’ dèanamh planaidh ro-làimh mar phàirt den phròiseas ath-bhreit­hnea­chaidh riatanach ro ùrachadh a phlana, agus cun­ntas a ghabhail air leas­an­an a chaidh ionnsachadh agus buaidh a’ Phlana air poilea­said­hean is planaichean na buidhne.

Tha am Bòrd a’ mol­adh an teamplaid gu h‑ìosal mar cruth air­son aith­isg dear­cna­chaidh. Thath­ar còd dhath­an a’ cleachadh gus adhar­tais a sheall­tainn air liubhairt thoraidhean.

Mar stiùire­adh far­saingeachd air a’ phròiseas dear­cna­chaidh, tha am Bòrd a’ mol­adh na leanas:

• Gu bheil adhartas air a chom­har­rachadh gu soil­leir air­son nan gnìom­han uile, le meu­dachadh càileachd is àire­am­hail air an clàradh.
• Far a bheil dàil air a bhith ann, gu bheil mìneachadh soil­leir air a dhèanamh air dè dh’ adh­braich seo agus an dòigh anns a’ bheil an ùgh­dar­ras gu bhith a’ reit­eachadh cùisean.
• Gu bheil earrann air a gabhail a‑steach aig deire­adh na h‑aithisg le fios mu leas­an­an a chaidh ionnsachadh.

Thèid an teamplaid seo a chleach­dadh leis a’ Bhòrd air­son meas­adh a dhèanamh air aith­is­gean dear­cna­chaidh. Thèid coim­head air an tar-sheal­ladh a thaobh co-ion­nanachd spèise; tairgse for-gnìom­hach; àbhaisteachadh; na raoin­tean leas­a­chaidh agus prìomh raoin­tean planadh cànain Gàidh­lig an cois a’ Phlana Cànain Nàiseanta Gàidh­lig; planadh a thaobh luchd-obrach gu h‑iomlan agus coileanadh uile gu lèir. Bidh fre­agairt a’ Bhùird stèid­hte air fianais a tha air thaisbeanadh san aithisg.

Guid­ance:

Under the Gael­ic Lan­guage (Scot­land) Act 2005 the Bòrd may require pub­lic author­it­ies to sub­mit a mon­it­or­ing report on pro­gress regard­ing deliv­ery of their plan’s out­puts. The pur­pose of this is to provide the author­ity with an oppor­tun­ity to meas­ure pro­gress, to take remedi­al action if neces­sary and in addi­tion to note where pro­gress has been great­er than anti­cip­ated. The report­ing pro­cess is also inten­ded to sup­port the organ­isa­tion to plan in advance of the review required pri­or to renew­al of its plan, to take account of les­sons learned, and to meas­ure the plan’s impact across the organisation’s policy and plan­ning process.

The tem­plate provided below is the Bòrd’s recom­men­ded mon­it­or­ing report format. It includes a col­our code sys­tem to indic­ate pro­gress on out­put deliv­ery and a key is provided regard­ing this.

By way of gen­er­al guid­ance for the mon­it­or­ing pro­cess the Bòrd encour­ages the following:

• That for all actions a clear meas­ure of pro­gress is included, with the qual­it­at­ive and numer­ic­al increase recorded.
• Where there has been a delay in pro­gress or no pro­gress that this is clearly stated, with an explan­a­tion of why this has occurred and what the response is.
• That a ​‘les­sons learned’ sec­tion is included at the end of the report.

The Bòrd will use this tem­plate when assess­ing mon­it­or­ing reports. We will also look at the wider pic­ture in terms of deliv­ery on equal respect; act­ive offer; main­stream­ing; the devel­op­ment areas and key lan­guage plan­ning cat­egor­ies con­tained in the Nation­al Gael­ic Lan­guage Plan; work­force plan­ning and over­all per­form­ance. Our response will be based on what is evid­enced in the report.
