revised educational programmes
revised early learning goals (ELGs)
changes to assessment at the start of the reception year
changes to the assessment and moderation process for the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile
an update on section 3, safeguarding and welfare requirements, with some small changes to clarify policy and provide useful links to updated guidance. It also provides updates to legislation and systems since 2017.
