How Interwoven Arts CIC accounts for itself — what it files, what it publishes, and what it keeps. As a community interest company it answers to both Companies House and the Office of the Regulator of Community Interest Companies. Beyond the legal minimum it sets out its own approach to transparency below.
What the company files (public record)
- Incorporation documents — certificate of incorporation, Articles of Association, and the CIC36 community interest statement, filed at incorporation (10 April 2026) and public at Companies House (company number 17148027).
- Confirmation statement — annual; confirms directors, people with significant control, registered office, and SIC codes are up to date. First statement date 9 April 2027, due by 23 April 2027.
- Annual accounts — filed at Companies House and public. First accounts to 30 April 2027, due by 10 January 2028. The company expects initially to qualify as a micro-entity — meeting at least two of the limits that apply to accounting periods beginning on or after 6 April 2025: turnover not more than £1 million, balance sheet total not more than £500,000, and no more than ten employees.
- CIC34 community interest report — filed annually with the CIC Regulator via Companies House alongside the accounts, and public. It reports: Part 1, activities and their community impact; Part 2, stakeholder consultation (who, how, and what was done in response — or a statement that none was held); Part 3, directors’ remuneration; and Part 4, any transfer of assets for less than full consideration (which also requires the Regulator’s consent). A simplified CIC34 is available to smaller CICs, which the company expects to use initially. First CIC34 due with the first accounts.
Identity verification
Under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, identity verification at Companies House became compulsory on 18 November 2025. Because the company was incorporated on 10 April 2026, its directors verified their identities at incorporation through GOV.UK One Login. This is complete.
What the company keeps but does not publish
Board minutes, the register of directors’ interests, and signed resolutions are kept for at least ten years (Article 32) as internal governance records. They are not public: no person is entitled to inspect the company’s records merely by virtue of being a member, except as the law provides or the directors authorise (Article 33.2). The Regulator may require access in an enquiry.
Transparency tiers
The company’s transparency operates in four tiers:
- Filed and public — everything the law requires: the filings listed above, at Companies House and the CIC Regulator.
- Proactively published — its governance approach, community purpose, asset lock, conflict-of-interest process, and approach to director remuneration.
- Available on request — fuller detail for funders and stakeholders who ask, such as management accounts and project reports.
- Confidential — personal data, safeguarding information, commercially sensitive terms, and full board minutes, shared only where the law requires or the individuals consent.
Policies
The company maintains the following policies, held in full in its records:
- Safeguarding — covering its work with children and vulnerable adults, including SEN schools, respite services, and care homes. The Designated Safeguarding Lead is Dan Gauden; the Deputy Safeguarding Lead is Kubi May, a trauma-informed practitioner.
- Data protection — the company is the data controller; it processes personal data on a lawful basis and uses processors (including any AI providers) under data processing agreements. Special-category data, such as health or safeguarding information, is handled with the additional protections the law requires. The use of AI is covered in AI in management.
- Health and safety — covering the delivery of installations and events.
