WHAT THE PROJECT SHOULD PRODUCE

01

A lawful Wales-specific service model

02

CIW-ready application evidence

03

Safe mobilisation and governance controls

CONTROLLED DELIVERY ROUTE

A controlled delivery route.

01

Scope

Confirm the starting position, legal or regulatory context, risks, timescale and required outcome.

02

Build

Develop the evidence, systems, people plan and implementation actions needed for the project.

03

Implement

Support leaders to use the work in practice, test progress and retain ownership after handover.

Important professional boundary

From 1 April 2026, restricted children’s services in Wales must use an approved not-for-profit legal structure. CIW decides registration and CCKE cannot guarantee registration, a decision date or permission to operate.

PROJECT ROUTE

Start with a focused consultation.

We will confirm scope, fees, evidence requirements, owners, timescales and professional boundaries before work begins.

Discuss this service

No guaranteed outcomes. Preparation and implementation can be strengthened, but regulators, authorities, funders, employers and commissioners retain their decisions.
