We successfully launched the updated GRS standards in April 2021 and non-accredited services in the UK will have completed the April GRS census based on the updated standards.

Following this, all services will be moving to the updated 2021 standards on 1 October 2021. This will include an interim transition period for services. For more details on this transition period, please read the following guidance.

The standards are simplified and less time consuming for services. We hope this will be an easier process for your service moving forward.

If you have any questions about how this will affect your assessment, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
