18-Month Developmental Check for Children in Bolton
Public Health Nursing and Bolton Start Well are launching a development check for all 18-month-old children in Bolton that don’t already have support from their Public Health Nursing team.
Currently, all babies and young children are offered a wellbeing check by the Public Health Nursing Service (Health Visitors) at 9 months and 2 years plus. We are pleased to let you know that we are now able to offer an additional check at 18-months for all children not currently receiving this.
The 18-month-old development check will:
- Follow on from your child’s 9 to 12-month check.
- Be carried out by a qualified Early Years Practitioner with a wealth of experience in child development and supporting families.
- Take place in your home (unless this is not convenient for you).
It is an opportunity to review with you, your child’s:
- Social, emotional, and behavioural development.
- Communication and language development.
- General development.
- Any other concerns you may have.
The development check will be shared with your specialist Public Health Nurse (Health Visitor).
When will development checks begin?
- July 2023: Initially in two neighbourhoods, Turton / Rumworth.
- October 2023: Rolled out across Bolton.
You’ll receive an invitation to take up the offer of an 18-month-old development check from a Start Well Early Years Practitioner by letter or telephone from the dates above.
This check is being completed in line with what other Local Authorities in Greater Manchester currently offer.
