Please note one of the changes is to do with children’s vaccinations
Whilst overseas you should follow the schedule for child development checks and routine vaccinations of the Netherlands and not the UK. Schedules can normally be easily found online and you should engage earlier with your local GP or Paediatrician to ensure that they are aware of your child and can advise on any catch ups so that your child is up to date for the local schedule.
The Dutch vaccination programme can be found here - https://www.rivm.nl/en/national-immunisation-programme

CEP are creating a Brunssum specific guide so updates will be shared in the future.
