To be implemented from 2025, the updated standards represent a significant enhancement in our accreditation process, designed to create an environment where both training sites and trainees can excel. These standards emphasise support and encouragement, aiming to empower training sites to deliver optimal training experiences. By simplifying and clarifying expectations, we seek to make compliance more straightforward, fostering transparency and consistency across all accredited programs.

Additionally, the revised standards are more comprehensive, incorporating essential elements identified through research and experience as crucial for effective training. These improvements address a broad range of factors necessary for a high-quality learning environment, ensuring that trainees receive a robust and well-rounded education.
