Details

Analysis of the characteristics of children age 2 and 3 years who have had their development assessed using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3) at age 2 to 2.5 years. Characteristics include:

  • sex
  • ethnicity
  • deprivation
  • looked-after children
  • disability
  • vulnerability
  • children with a child protection plan
  • whether children have moved within and between areas
  • where children have a preferred language other than English

The analysis gives further detail to that available from the child development outcomes at 2 to 2.5 years metrics, which are produced routinely by Public Health England (PHE) based on data from the interim national reporting system for children’s public health 0 to 5 years. Data from the interim national reporting system is available in the early years section of the child and maternal health profiles in PHE’s Fingertips tool.
