Policy
The White Paper was the outcome of the RIPL Primary Languages Policy Summit, which took place on Friday 23rd November 2018 at the British Academy in London. The Summit gathered together key players in policy making and leading practitioners and academics from across the country. The views and contributions of all the Summit participants were taken into account in elaborating recommendations to overcome some of the challenges currently faced by primary schools in delivering the statutory requirement for languages.

In 2025, RiPL revisited the White Paper to assess how far its recommendations had been implemented. That assessment has led to the creation of a draft Implementation Strategy, which sets out concrete steps to make the vision of the White Paper a reality.
