Social Work England, the regulator for social workers in England, is confident there were no technical issues with their systems during this registration period.

Social workers in England have a period of 91 days to renew their registration and must ensure they fulfil all the registration criteria by the deadline given to complete it. Those social workers who intended to renew but did not between 1 September and 30 November 2022 can apply to restore their registration.
