Give Cornish language and culture the equal status, recognition, respect and prominence in public service broadcasting that it deserves. 

We believe the Cornish should have equal status with the other indigenous languages and cultures of Britain.

We want BBC Kernow | Cornwall to sit in it's rightful place alongside BBC Cymru and BBC Alba on the iPlayer. 

We want appropriate commissioning and editorial processes to be established within the remit of the BBC Royal Charter from 2017 to develop and grow Cornish Language and cultural programming.

Every culture should have their own voice represented in the world's media, particularly in public service broadcasting. 

In 2003 the Cornish language (Kernewek) received official recognition under the European Charter for the Protection of Regional or Minority Languages. 

In 2014 the Cornish were granted protected national Minority Status under the Council of Europe Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities. 

This means the Cornish have the same recognition as the Welsh, Scots and Northern Irish.
