It is a requirement that all staff at HMP Berwyn must show an understanding of the importance of the Welsh language.

All prisoners at HMP Berwyn will have access to welsh speaking staff and all material will be bilingual. To help support this, we are currently arranging courses for our staff to ensure they have a good understanding of Wales and working in the Welsh context, which includes a section on language.
