This editorial policy explains how Cardiff Post researches, writes, checks and corrects its guides. We publish it so readers can judge our work.
How we research
We start with primary sources. For example, we use Cardiff Council pages, train and bus operator sites, venue websites and official event listings. Additionally, we compare several sources when details differ. We do not copy other guides.
How we check facts
We verify prices, opening times, parking rules and journey times against the source before we publish. Consequently, we record each check. Where details change often, we add a “verify before you go” note and link to the operator.
How we update and correct
Cardiff changes quickly, so we revisit guides when facts change. When we find an error, we correct it and update the date. You can report a mistake on our contact page.
Independence and commercial links
Businesses cannot pay for a place in our recommendations. Some guides contain affiliate links, and we label sponsored content clearly. Read the affiliate disclosure for details. Cardiff Post is not affiliated with any government body, and we provide information only. See our corrections policy for how we fix errors.
Our standards
- We write in plain English and answer the question first.
- We name our sources and link to them where we can.
- We separate facts from opinion.
- We keep this policy under review.
