Local context
What we see when we work in Belfast
Practical, area-specific notes — not generic copy.
Belfast operates within the Northern Ireland legal and policy framework — distinct from England, Scotland and Wales. Children’s SEN sits under the Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Act (NI) 2016 and the SEN Code of Practice (Northern Ireland), with statutory roles for the Education Authority NI rather than a council. Adult social care is provided by the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust under integrated health and social care, not separately by the council. Our Belfast practitioners understand this.
The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust provides integrated community mental health, learning disability and adult ND services. Adult ASD/ADHD diagnostic waits in NI have been long and are tracked by the Department of Health’s published statistics; we do not require a diagnosis to book.
Belfast retains community context and neighbourhood identity that we navigate with sensitivity — our practitioners working in Belfast are familiar with the city’s peace-line geography and we make no assumptions about a client’s community background.
We work in red-brick terraces in West and East Belfast, mid-rise apartments in the Cathedral Quarter and Titanic Quarter, post-war estates in Andersonstown and Ballymurphy, and substantial detached houses in Stranmillis and Cherryvalley.

For commissioners & professionals
Working with Belfast City Council
If you are a social worker, OT, housing officer, safeguarding lead or commissioner in Belfast, here is how Neatly fits alongside your work.
Statutory alignment
We deliver a person-centred, trauma-informed model that complements Care Act 2014 (or the equivalent Scottish, Welsh or NI framework) assessments and multi-agency self-neglect & hoarding work. We are explicitly NOT a deep-clean contractor.
Procurement & commissioning
Neatly is willing to engage with Belfast Health and Social Care Trust commissioning, the Education Authority NI for SEND-related work, and the Department of Health NI mental-health programme. We understand the integrated health-and-social-care commissioning model unique to NI.
