CBS Screening: Passionate About Wales & Welsh Culture

At Complete Background Screening, we understand the importance of striking a balance between fostering community values and ensuring fairness in development projects. The recent discussions around the proposed housing development in Botwnnog, Gwynedd, highlight the importance of responsible planning, where local heritage and language are valued alongside the need for affordable housing.

The Botwnnog Community Council in north Wales has voiced concerns over plans for 18 affordable homes in a region deeply rooted in Welsh language and culture. Their suggestion that these homes be reserved for Welsh speakers has sparked a broader conversation about preserving local identity while addressing the pressing need for affordable housing. You can read the local press piece here.

While the debate continues, one thing is clear, the Welsh are particularly passionate about their language and culture. At Complete Background Screening we are rightly proud of our roots in Wales. The company is based in Mountain Ash in the beautiful Cynon Valley, and we have never forgotten where we’ve come from and what the community has provided for us: great people and an amazing place to work.

In Wales, where language and cultural factors matter, bilingual background screening becomes even more critical. CBS is proud to be the only company in Wales providing bilingual screening services and we are regularly reviewing our services to improve our offering and ensure that we are as inclusive as possible.

We provide screening services for many sectors across Wales and the UK including housebuilders, developers and councils. Housing developments in culturally significant regions like Gwynedd must tread carefully to balance economic, social, and cultural priorities.

The discussion in Botwnnog is a reminder of the importance of sensitive and responsible development and communication.

By working together, we can build a future where affordable housing aligns with the needs and values of local communities – ensuring that progress doesn’t come at the expense of heritage and is sensitive to all concerned.
