Integrated Two Year Review: Background Government commitment in 2011 to 'explore options for a single integrated review from 2015’. Progress on pathfinder areas was published in Nov A Hampshire steering group has been developing a county approach informed by national & regional findings. Approach piloted in Gosport building on work already taking place. Rollout will take place from the Autumn Term. Further information will be provided via Birth to Three Network Meetings

Birth to Three Network meetings will be the primary engagement method for EY providers and Health Visitors Early Years providers (with parent permission) will be able to book face to face appointments with health visitors to discuss individual children. Health visiting duty line will be available to discuss any concerns or clarify issues.

Integrated Two Year Review: Emerging findings from pilot Providers are now asking to see and discuss the Health Visiting review (ASQ-3) with parents to identify children’s starting points and needs. 100% of parents have shared the ASQ-3 with providers Increase in the number of phone calls to the duty health visitor regarding following a 2 year old EY progress review. Improvements in joint working between Early Years Providers and Health Visitors as a result of shared understanding of the separate 2 year reviews.
