Plain English Internet Crystal Mark

We aim to make our website easy to use and understand. We are committed to using plain English throughout our website.

Our website has been approved by the Plain English Campaign which means that we can display the Internet Crystal Mark.

We are willing to do everything practical to make our site crystal clear. If there’s something that you feel, could be explained in a clearer way, please email webmaster@belfastcity.gov.uk

The campaign helps organisations make their public information as clear as possible to their audience. They review documents and websites, examining their content, design and layout.
