The new January 2025 model introduced by the HSE aims to recognise a provider’s track record.

Providers will transition to a 3-year licence, with an additional year added at each renewal, as long as they:

• Demonstrate compliance at renewal (without having an application initially refused)
• Have not faced any type of enforcement action

This doesn’t imply you are now considered to be ‘safer’, or that your legal responsibilities have lessened.  Instead, it means you won’t need to prove compliance with the regulations as frequently as before, at least not to the licensing authority.
