Hello @JonnyH and welcome to the forum.

I posted [Upgrade to UK standard and compliance rules (version 3.0)](https://forum.openreferral.org/t/upgrade-to-uk-standard-and-compliance-rules-version-3-0/427) way back in September 2023, but we’ve been slow updating the website and validator. We’re doing this as part of the current MHCLG LocalDigital project to encourage take-up of the Standard.

Our [Implementing Open Referral UK](https://youtu.be/xpGuhMh9R1g) - Meeting of 20 November 2024 (mainly a technical meeting - [see slides](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1S0MPXS5DLMLzHFDzvBaOk3sf14Lbl0qh3gDTyLV6jME/edit?usp=sharing)) included these session of relevance to your question:

- [32:30] Version 3 of the Standard: UK profile - Kathryn Irish, Open Data Services Co-op
- [39:15] Updates to the website, Dave Iles and Guy Hilton, Project Team

@kathrynods’s slide 19 includes these two links

- [HSDS Changelog](https://docs.openreferral.org/en/latest/hsds/changelog.html)
- [ORUK Changelog](https://docs.openreferraluk.org/en/latest/changelog.html)

You can ask here if you need further explanation.

@IlesdTPX and Guy are looking for people to both test the upgraded Validator and, at the same time, test their own feeds. The Validator checks both version 1 (more strictly than the current validator) and version 3.0.

I expect the online documentation changes to be live in January with drafts before then. Guy and Dave may be able to give updates now an/or when things are released. There may be an opportunity to demonstrate ORUK-compliant software to councils in the first quarter of 2025 so let us know if you’d like to do that.
