The Healthy Child Programme offers every family a programme of screening tests, immunisations, developmental reviews, and information and guidance to support parenting and healthy choices. As part of programme, children have a health and development review at the age of 2 to 2.5 years. This is carried out by a Health Visitor to help optimise child development and wellbeing by providing evidence-based support for identified needs. This indicator tracks the percentage of children who are achieving the expected levels of development in all five recognised areas of development: communication skills, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, problem solving skills and personal-social skills.

In 2020, 81% of children in Jersey were meeting or exceeding expected levels of development across all five areas.
