How to deal with a person who wants a service in Welsh if the member of staff cannot speak Welsh
If someone starts to speak Welsh with a member of staff who is not a Welsh speaker, the member of staff should explain that he/she does not speak Welsh and that the call will be transferred to a colleague in the department who can speak Welsh / that a Welsh-speaking member of staff will be called. If the caller / person at the reception desk has started the conversation in Welsh, it should be taken for granted that they wish to continue their dealings with the University in Welsh unless they indicate otherwise.
