Site visits
Site visits will only occur when there are no other means of assessing the suitability of the premises. We can use different methods to gain the information that we need about your premises, such as a premises checklist and looking around your premises via Skype.
DBS checks
CIW will be adopting alternative methods of identification checking remotely, for example via Skype.
Interviews
CIW will be meeting with applicants and Responsible Individuals remotely, including to undertake registration interviews.
