About the event
Big changes are coming – and it's easy to get lost in the detail.
New ECE licensing criteria take effect on 20 April 2026. From renumbered criteria and updated health and safety requirements to new medication categories and changes to enrolment forms – there's a lot to take in.
Many centres are trying to tackle every change at once which is leading to confusion, wasted time, and unnecessary stress.
