Status report on January 1, 2024

There is a long waiting list for entry into Reykjavík City's Rainbow Certification program. About 100 workplaces have received Rainbow Certification, with a similar number on the waiting list. The Rainbow Certification program was on hold as of January 1, 2024, due to staffing changes and workload pressures since the fall. The program resumed accepting workplaces off the waiting list at the beginning of 2024.
