The new Standards have commenced and we are 1 month in.

We will do our best to keep everyone informed of what we learn as new information is made available.

If you go through a visit from the Commission or your Accreditation, then please let us know, and we can share what you learn with all our Manad Plus users.

A few early items that are being reported from those that have gone through a vist are noted below:
