The Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) Annual Return is a statutory report that all registered domiciliary care providers in Wales are required to complete each year. The return provides CIW with key information about the service, including the care and support provided, staffing arrangements, quality assurance processes, and how the service is meeting the needs and outcomes of the people it supports. The information helps CIW monitor service quality, promote continuous improvement, and ensure that care providers are operating in accordance with relevant legislation and regulatory requirements.
