In accordance with the Welsh Language Act 1993, we have established a Welsh Language Scheme to publish information in Welsh wherever appropriate in the circumstances and reasonably practicable.
The OFT's Welsh Language Scheme was endorsed by the Welsh Language Board on 17 March 2010.
The scheme sets out the OFT's commitments to treating Welsh and English on an equal basis where we offer services to the public in Wales. For example, using Welsh in publicity and advertising campaigns, and corresponding in Welsh, if required.
The OFT's scheme also governs the services offered by Consumer Direct, unless otherwise stated in the scheme.
Consumer Direct is the government funded telephone and online service offering information and advice on consumer issues. Consumer Direct is funded by the Office of Fair Trading and delivered in partnership with local authority trading standards services. Visit the Consumer Direct website.

Publications available in Welsh can be found in the publications section of this site.
The OFT has a duty to produce an Annual Monitoring Report outlining the progress made in delivering public services in accordance with our Welsh Language scheme and identifying areas of improvement .
The Annual Monitoring Report is submitted to the Welsh Language Board by 30 June of each year and the Board comments on our progress.
