All external adverts for posts at HMP Berwyn have been published in both English and Welsh language.

Posts did not stipulate Welsh language skills as a requirement, but we expect Welsh and English to be spoken by at least some staff in all functional areas.

Data on the number of bilingual Welsh and English speakers appointed is not collected centrally.
