Details
Quarterly Official Statistics in development for child development at 2 to 2 and a half years. Information is presented at local authority of residence, region and England level.
The metrics presented are ‘the percentage of children who were at or above the expected level’ in these 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. Data from previous years was published by OHID (formerly PHE).
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.
Quarterly figures are provisional and subject to revision, and they are released for the purpose of providing timely figures. The most recently published quarterly file supersedes the previously published file.
