The Department has worked with Health Education England to develop e-learning materials to support health professionals using ASQ-3 as part of the two year review.</p><p> </p><p>From October 2015, health visiting providers were asked to report ASQ-3 scores to the Children and Young People’s Health Services dataset, which is being developed by the Health and Social Care Information Centre. The dataset is expected to publish its first report in April 2016.</p><p> </p><p>Public Health England will draw on ASQ-3 data from the children’s dataset to report the PHOF outcome measure of child development at age 2-2½, reporting on a yearly basis the percentage of children with a positive outcome across all five domains of development in ASQ-3 at age 2-2½. The first reporting of the outcome measure is planned for inclusion in the PHOF in spring 2017.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 29/02/2016 14:02:11 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
