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, e-learning sessions have been developed for Health Visitors and Nursery Nurses by HEE, the Department of Health, e-Learning 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™.
