Vision for future outlined by Welsh Language Commissioner
Her recently published strategic plan focuses on children and young people, health and care, and the workplace as priority areas for action.
Ms Jones said: "I have stated on several occasions that my ambition as Commissioner goes beyond a narrow interpretation of what is expected of me by the Welsh Language Measure, and I am keen to lead an organisation that does more and contributes more significantly to wider language planning work.
"What has been outlined in our strategic plan and manifesto clearly shows the direction we want to take and our ambition in terms of the language."
The commissioner presented her vision during a panel event in the Cymdeithasau pavilion.
Deio Owen, president of the National Union of Students Cymru, welcomed the focus on younger generations.
Mr Owen said: "It is disappointing to see statistics that are constantly published showing a decline in the number of Welsh speakers.
"But that doesn't equate to using the language consistently.
"I welcome the commissioner's intentions to prioritise children and young people and also the workplaces as young people have access to Welsh throughout their school days."
The panel included representatives from Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, the National Union of Students Cymru, and Wrexham University.

Readers discuss Gaza protest arrests, Trump's walk, and nuclear safety
Do you agree with our readers? Have your say on these MetroTalk topics and more in the comments. Justice minister Alex Davies-Jones thanked the police for their 'bravery and courage' in arresting 532 people protesting against the banning of Palestine Action on Saturday. I was one of those protesters and I know, from chatting with the policeman who arrested me, that he shows considerable bravery in his regular duties. But I'm sure he would be insulted by the suggestion that his action on Saturday – walking slowly with a 69-year-old man to a police van – required 'bravery'. Similarly, I think he would have found it ludicrous when the minister suggested the police were 'protecting the public' by arresting hundreds of mostly elderly people, sitting silently, holding signs, in Parliament Square. Bob Banks, Sheffield I have never felt more proud of my fellow citizens and more ashamed of my country. I cannot commend more highly the self-sacrifice of more than 500 people who chose to get arrested on Saturday. They do not know how they will be treated by the justice system or what impact it could have in respect of working, finance, study and travel. This for drawing attention to the genocide being perpetrated by Israel in Gaza and to the oppressive legislation used to silence dissent. I was arrested on July 19. I was inspired by the first arrests. These new arrests will only inspire the next 1,000. Stephen Stone, Norwich Funny how people like Dennis Fitzgerald (MetroTalk, Mon) chose to mock Donald Trump for being seen taking a walk on the White House roof. When I think about Trump, I think about the peace deal Trump sealed last week between Armenia and Azerbaijan, who have been hostile against each other since the late 80s. I guess that's the difference between people like Dennis and people like me. Paulo Rodrigues, London I wish 'environmentalists' such as Adrian Appley (MetroTalk, Mon) – who opposes 'lethal' nuclear power stations – would make up their minds. Either we're in the middle of a 'climate emergency', in which case the prospect of limitless energy from overwhelmingly safe nuclear power stations is far better than hoping the wind blows and the sun shines at the right time, or we're not, in which case can the government please stop spending our taxes on subsidising electric vehicles, home solar panels, heat pumps etc that very few people actually want? Chris H, London Adrian's opinion on nuclear is so behind the times it exasperates me. Modern nuclear reactors are much safer than anything used in the 1970s when Chernobyl was built. More Trending We live in a democracy, which isn't incentivised to cover up what might be happening for days (as happened with Chernobyl, making the incident much worse). And don't get me started on HS2, which he also opposes. That failed because the government decided to ask the opinions of every Nimby between London and Manchester, meaning they had to keep changing things. Deon, London A huge island of congealed wet wipes is being removed from the Thames (Metro, Tue). The government must launch a 'keep drains clear' campaign on TV on how to dispose of items. People want to get rid of stuff there and then – they don't like the smell in their bins, or to handle it. But oil can be collected in a jar and frozen and disposed of in a lump. Give new mums a nappy disposal unit – that's better than blockages. Only older people know how to deal with waste because they didn't have so many cleaning options.

Cutting throats comment made ‘in heat of moment'
In the wake of rioting following the Southport murders, Ricky Jones, 58, described demonstrators as 'disgusting Nazi fascists', his trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court was told. A video showing Jones, who at the time was also employed as a full-time official for the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) union, addressing the crowd in Walthamstow, east London, on August 7 last year went viral on social media after the protest. Wearing a black polo top and surrounded by cheering supporters, the now-suspended councillor said: 'They are disgusting Nazi fascists. We need to cut all their throats and get rid of them all.' He also drew his finger across his throat as he spoke to the crowd. Jones was arrested on August 8 last year and interviewed at Brixton Police Station that night. A prepared statement submitted on Jones' behalf at the police station read: 'Yesterday at a rally in Walthamstow, I made a comment on microphone to a large crowd. 'I accept that these comments were particularly ill-advised. 'I was referring specifically to an incident the day before where some far-right activists had stuck a 'National Front Rights for Whites' sticker on a train and hidden a razor blade behind it in order that anyone trying to remove it would injure themselves. 'This had made me very upset. I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s when the National Front were very active and I experienced a great deal of racism in my youth. 'I did not intend for my comments to be taken literally by anyone and I did not intend to encourage or incite anyone to commit violence against any other. 'I am, however, extremely sorry for making the comments which were made in the heat of the moment and I very much regret having done so. 'I was not invited to speak on microphone until the last minute and I had not planned or thought about what I was going to say in advance.' Jones, who has been a borough councillor in Dartford, Kent, since 2019, was suspended by the Labour Party the day after the alleged incident. A medical report by experts from the prosecution and defence agreed that Jones 'suffers from a number of neurodivergent challenges', jurors were told as part of agreed facts. These include 'impaired verbal comprehension potentially leading to misunderstanding the impact of his words' and 'slower cognitive processing meaning he may not have evaluated the situation in real time'. Jurors were also told testing had established Jones suffers from 'impulsivity increasing the likelihood of reactive speech' and 'emotional arousal which can override deliberate decision-making'. The agreed facts read by prosecutor Ben Holt stated: 'The experts agree that these challenges may contribute to impulsive verbal responses in emotionally charged situations. 'These challenges can impair his ability to plan responses and inhibit inappropriate remarks. This could lead to Ricky Jones making regrettable statements when he is unprepared.' The prosecution's medical expert, Dr Scott Mackenzie, said Jones' difficulties appeared 'functionally on the milder side as demonstrated by his ability to successfully work in senior roles where he has to speak publicly'. The defence's medical expert Dr Alison Beck said Jones' difficulties were 'statistically and clinically significant'. The demonstration had been organised in response to plans for a far-right march outside Waltham Forest Immigration Bureau, jurors were told. It followed the nationwide violent disorder that occurred last summer after the Southport murders. Jones, of Dartford, denies one count of encouraging violent disorder. Judge Rosa Dean told jurors on Tuesday morning that a person had 'tailgated' them into a secure area of the court on Monday after CCTV footage was reviewed. The judge added: 'It's perfectly clear that the person who tailgated has absolutely nothing to do with this case and that person is not welcome in this court.' The trial continues.
