All Health Visitors in England will need to be using the ASQ-3™ as part of 2-year health reviews by April 2015. The Department of Health is developing a population measure to show child development at 2-2½ years. The data for this will be collected using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3™) which is a parent completed tool. To support Health Visiting teams in preparing for this now, elearning sessions have been developed for Health Visitors and Nursery Nurses by HEE, the Department of Health, elearning for healthcare and the University of Hertfordshire. They are in two parts, each taking 30 minutes and incorporate video clips from real-life 2 to 21/2 year reviews and cover the practicalities of using the ASQ-3™.
