Digital Switchover – postponement doesn’t mean delay

We have kept erosh members up to date with digital switchover plans and progress through our updated Good Practice Guide and two virtual events this year.

The previous deadline for the switchover of December 2025 has now been postponed to 31 January 2027, due particularly to migration issues impacting on safety-critical devices like telecare devices including personal alarms.

We are delighted there will be more time to ensure older people will not be adversely affected but strongly recommend that independent living providers do not delay their plans to make the switch.

31 January 2027 is the end date and there are a number of challenges to consider as well as time needed to make crucial decisions. These are all set out in our Good Practice Guide: Digital Switchover – are you ready?

(If you’re not an erosh member you have to pay to access our Good Practice Guides. Please get in touch with Rena on info@erosh.co.uk to find out more).
