Brexit

Click here to see the latest update on the Brexit Preparation Brexit Preparation update.

Due to this we are working with Welsh Government to ensure services are protected, as much as possible, from any disruption a no deal Brexit could cause.

To reassure and advise citizens and in anticipation of concerns about the potential impacts of a no deal Brexit in Wales, Welsh Government have created Preparing Wales. Preparing Wales is a single, comprehensive source of information for the people of Wales about the actions we are taking to prepare for the significant impact of a ‘no deal’ Brexit.  It sets out guidance and advice for citizens, organisations and a breadth of sectors across Wales about the steps that need to be taken to prepare for this outcome.
