Practical information for our providers, suppliers and stakeholders when working with us.
We recognise the important role the tertiary education and research sector has in fulfilling the Welsh Government’s vision for a bilingual Wales. Under the Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Act 2022, we have a strategic duty to promote Welsh medium study.
As an organisation, we treat the Welsh and English languages equally in the conduct of our public business in Wales. We also recognise our role in facilitating a bilingual working environment for our people.
We welcome correspondence in Welsh and in English. Corresponding in Welsh will not lead to delays.
We will also scrutinise our policies and plans to support Welsh medium and bilingual education, and consider the impact of our policies on using the Welsh language internally and externally.
We are subject to Welsh language standards and we have received our Compliance Notice from the Welsh Language Commissioner. Compliance with these standards is monitored by our Senior Leadership Team and our People and Culture Committee. Should you be dissatisfied with the services we provide in Welsh you are able to make a complaint in line with our complaints policy.

Request informationIn establishing Medr as a new arm’s length body, we are committed to being an employer of choice and an exemplar organisation. We recognise the need for a pay structure that provides value for money; rewarding Medr staff fairly for the work they carry out, whilst recognising our funding comes from the public purse and must be used to best effect. Part of delivering Medr’s pay arrangements in this way requires us to operate on the principles of consistency, transparency, accessibility and affordability, therefore we publish our pay statement, the policy and procedures and Medr’s pay scales to achieve this.
Our values really matter to us, and they help shape the culture of our organisation. Our value cynnwys pawb (to include everyone; to involve everyone) means that we are passionate about inclusion, seeking to create the right conditions for everyone to achieve their full potential.
We also have a strategic duty under the Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Act 2022 to promote equality of opportunity.
Medr Strategic Equality Plan 2024-2028In March 2026, we published our first Equality Annual Report against the Strategic Equality Plan (SEP). This sets out the actions we took during our first eight months of operation, and the key period operating under our SEP to establish equality as a priority before Medr’s launch.
We are subject to the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, and we will outline our commitment to the well-being of future generations through our Strategic Plan.
Our prioritiesIn accordance with the Environment (Wales) Act 2016, we will consider biodiversity and ecosystems as part of our business planning and day-to-day activities by aligning them with our duties under the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act. We will normally report this through our annual report and accounts.
