that 2 year old integrated review is a non runner in case you missed it

1. Now your child is 2

2. Age two is an important time for
children and their parents. It is a
time when problems with
language development and
behaviour can start to be
identified.

3. It is an age where
interventions can be more
effective than they would be
for an older child, making a
real difference to your child’s
future.

4. Presently, health and early years
reviews of young children are
carried out separately. Health
Visitors do the Department of
Health’s Healthy Child
Programme review at 2 to 2 ½.

5. And Early Years Practitioners do
the Department for Education’s
EYFS progress check at age 2.

6. It was proposed that from
September 2015, however,
health and early years
practitioners would be working
side by side to improve
outcomes for young children.

7. And that by integrating the 2
assessments we would get a
more complete picture of the
child, drawing on the expertise
of both Health Visitors and Early
Years Practitioners.

8. It would give us a more
complete picture of the child’s
development and would
identify any additional support
the child might need so that
they get the best start in life.

9. After 4 years of deliberation, the
2 year old integrated review
simply cannot work as they are
too different in purpose and
approach.

10. Carry on doing what you were
doing.
