What the official source says
The Home Office updated Documents 1 and 2 on 9 October 2026. The collection links to the current PDFs and records the publication history. This article is an implementation briefing about that published change, not a new announcement dated today.
A controlled review should identify which institutional processes are affected and record the decision about implementation. Avoid assuming that a new collection date changed every linked document or that every newly published provision starts immediately.
Suggested sponsor action
- Download or reference the current policy versions in the institution’s source register.
- Assign changes to the relevant admissions, registry, compliance and safeguarding owners.
- Record the effective date, policy amendment and staff briefing for each material change.
