Section 6 - Code to describe Welsh language ability

31.This section places a duty on the Welsh Ministers to produce a Code that will explain how to use the common reference levels in the Table in Schedule 1, and describe the characteristics of those levels in more detail. The Code will assist with using the standard method established to describe the ability of Welsh language users in relation to section 5 and the Table in Schedule 1.

32.Section 6(2) sets out what the Welsh Ministers are required to include in the Code, but under section 6(3) it can also include anything else related to describing Welsh language ability. Therefore, the Code is not limited to only explaining the contents of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
