Date of review

If reviews are conducted over more than one appointment, please include the date the review was completed

Place of review

Home, GP practice, community clinic, other

Tick all that apply if review conducted over multiple appointments

Professionals directly involved in delivering review

Health visitor, staff nurse, GP, paediatrician, other

Tick all that apply

Family members present with child at review

Primary carer, additional carer, other

Tick all that apply. Primary carer refers to the adult living (at least most of the time) with the child who provides most day to day care. Additional carer refers to a second adult (living with the child or not) who contributes to their day to day care. In most but not all cases, the primary and additional carers will be the child's mother and father.

Social

No concerns, concern newly suspected, concern/disorder previously identified

A concern about a child's development may be newly identified during their 27-30 month review through a combination of structured discussion with the child's carers and elicitation of any concerns parents have, observation of the child, and the use of validated developmental assessment tools. If concerns are newly identified, action would be expected to follow such as arrangement for early review, more detailed assessment, and/or wider parenting support. Some children with developmental concerns at this stage will ultimately follow 'normal' developmental trajectories.

Developmental concerns, or specific disorders such as cerebral palsy, congenital deafness, etc, may have been identified prior to the 27-30 month review.

Newly suspected concerns and previously identified concerns/disorders should be recorded separately to allow the yield of the 27-30 month review to be monitored.

Second hand smoke

Primary carer current smoker?

Yes, no, unknown

Is the child's primary carer a current smoker? Primary carer refers to the adult living (at least most of the time) with the child who provides most day to day care.

Exposed to second hand smoke?

Yes, no, unknown

Is child regularly exposed to second hand smoke within their home, car, and/or care environment from any source? Exposure in the home means anyone smoking anywhere inside the house or on the doorstep with the door open. Regularly means once a week or more frequently.

Childsmile referral status at 6-8 weeks

Y

Yes, no, refused, incomplete

Was the child referred to Childsmile following their 6-8 week child health review? Incomplete means either that the child is too young to have had the opportunity to be referred to Childsmile at their 6-8 week review (referral option added in July 2011) or that no definitive response (yes, no, refused) was indicated by the PHN-HV at their 6-8 week review.

Registered with dentist

Yes, no, unknown

Is the child currently registered with a dentist?

Attended dentist in last 12 months

Yes, no, unknown

Has the child attended a dentist within the last 12 months?

Diagnoses/needs

Y

Free text subsequently Read coded

Known specific diagnoses and wider social needs should be recorded here using the GIRFEC My World Triangle as a guide.

How I grow and develop

All medical diagnoses (including congenital conditions) that are likely to be relevant to the continuing health and development of the child should be noted. Note that these could have been diagnosed by any health professional and the PHN-HV and associated skill mix team do not need to be involved in managing the condition for it to be included here. The CHSP-PS NUG, with support from ISD, should provide PHN-HVs and child health departments with regularly updated lists of Read codes for common problems to minimise the administrative resource required locally for Read coding and improve the accessibility of the information recorded for analytical purposes.

Diagnoses/needs (con))

Y

Free text subsequently Read coded

What I need from people who look after me, and My wider world

Social and wider environmental issues likely to be relevant to the continuing health and development of the child should also be noted. Again, the CHSP-PS NUG, with support from ISD, should provide regularly updated suggested standard wording and associated Read codes for common and/or serious problems. The standard wording should aim to balance the requirement to accurately record children's needs with considerations about confidentiality and maintaining parental engagement with services and consent for data sharing. Additional detailed information on family circumstances can be recorded in local notes and does not need to be included in the national minimum dataset.

Current HPI

Y

Core, additional (will also include some intensive until this code no longer used and possibly some unknown eg children new to area)

This is last HPI entered into CHSP-PS prior to the 27-30 month review

Updated HPI

Core, additional

This is the HPI assigned on completion of the 27-30 month review.

An additional HPI indicates that the child requires sustained (>3 months) additional input from professional services to help them attain their health or development potential. Any services may be required such as additional PHN-HV support, parenting support, enhanced early learning and childcare, specialist medical input, etc.

Recall to PHN-HV

Interval to next appointment in weeks if child to be reviewed by PHN-HV

GP

Provide, signposted to, discuss with, refer to/request assistance from, refused

Provide indicates that the PHN-HV and/or associated skill mix team will directly provide the specified additional support e.g. parenting support (only relevant for some options).

Signposted to indicates that parents have been given details of specified local services and how to access them.
