9. 2 Year Progress checks
From Spring 2017 SCC will be asking early years providers to send their EYFS 2-Year Progress Checks electronically through an expanded version of the Sheffield Directory, the Sheffield Early Years Foundation Stage Tracker. 
Why do we need it?  This information will help us to monitor the progress 2 year olds are making across the City and will inform service and policy development.
Providers can also use this system to monitor progress and produce reports, both for parents and for management information purposes. 
More details of this system and how it will be rolled out will be coming in the next few weeks through smaller area briefing sessions.

10. 2 yr progress checks (cont…)
It is important that parents and carers of children understand that the progress checks you carry out will be shared with the local authority and what we do with that information.
  Sheffield City Council’s Early Years Privacy Notice can be found at and a copy of this can be provided to parents and carers.  
If you did not use any electronic systems to record information on the children at your setting before the introduction of this system then you may need to register with the Information Commissioner’s Office.  This may not be necessary for everyone but we strongly advise you ring the ICO on to find out and ensure you are protected.  More information on the ICO and registering under the Data Protection Act can be found at
