IMPORTANT: CIW Online and CIW telephone lines will be unavailable on the 1 April

CIW Online will be unavailable from 12:05 am until 4.00 pm on 1 April due to urgent system updates. The CIW telephone lines will also be closed until 4.00 pm.

During this time registered providers will not be able to:

  • log into their CIW Online account
  • submit statutory notifications
  • access their provider records

Unfortunately, this also means that adult and children’s service providers will not be able to start their annual return until after 4pm on 1 April. 

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused by this unavoidable system downtime. 

If you need to contact us urgently you can email CIW@gov.wales
