Details

Quarterly experimental statistics for child development at 2 to 2 and a half years. Information is presented at a local, regional and national level.

The metrics presented are ‘the percentage of children who were at or above the expected level’ in these areas of development:

  • communication skills
  • gross motor skills
  • fine motor skills
  • problem solving skills
  • personal–social skills
  • all 5 areas of development

The data was collected through an interim reporting system set up to collect health visiting activity data at a local authority resident level. It is collected from the health visitor reviews completed at 2 to 2 and a half years using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire 3 (ASQ-3). Data was submitted by local authorities on a voluntary basis.

Local authority commissioners and health professionals can use these resources to track the extent to which children aged 2 to 2 and a half years in their local area are achieving the expected levels of development.
