Decision Maker: The Council
Made at meeting: 04/05/2023 - The Council
Decision published: 04/05/2023
Effective from: 04/05/2023
Decision:
Wales has a
praiseworthy ambition of being the first Nation of Sanctuary in the World. Gwynedd has acted in line with this ambition
by offering sanctuary to refugees from across the world. Despite the ambition of Wales, the
Westminster Government are introducing an Illegal Migration Act which endangers
the rights of refugees and asylum seekers and criminalises the act of reaching
the British Isles in search of asylum.
This conflicts against the principles of the Refugees Convention 1951,
and our ambition here in Wales.
Considering the fear that the unwelcome messages of the UK Government
can trigger, this Council confirms its ambition of assisting refugees, in order to mitigate some of this fear.

In order for the
Council to be innovative in its method of monitoring the implementation of
Welsh medium education and progress in detail and effectively in our schools, I

every secondary school against the baselines of the categories in which the
schools are included.
