25. 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 2014. 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

26. Integrated Two Year Review: Key approach Personal Child Health Record (PCHR), (‘red book’) will be the main means of communicating the outcomes from the two separate two year checks. 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.

27. 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.

28. Safeguarding Recent OFSTED inspections outcomes and Serious Case Reviews have identified areas of development for Early Years Providers The Child E Serious Case Review will be published shortly and will include the following recommendation: ‘Early years providers in Hampshire should be asked to review both the supervision and support arrangements for managers and the safeguarding expertise of those with ultimate responsibility for practice standards within the setting’

This in turn will have an impact on childcare and school places in the district which is outlined in the School Places Framework 2012 – 2016 where a potential shortfall of places is predicted.
