𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 Researchers from University College London, the University of Oxford, and the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA) have investigated inequalities in the proportion of children that reach expected development at age 2-2½ years in England. At least 14% of children in 2018-21 required developmental support at age 2-2½ years, rising to over 17% of children in the most deprived neighbourhoods. Boys were much more likely than girls to have delays in their development at age 2-2½ years, which is consistent with other international studies. Over a fifth of boys from the most deprived neighbourhoods did not meet expected development at this age. This study, published in the International Journal of Population Data Science (IJPDS), used data from Health Visitor Service Delivery Metrics and a subset of complete records in the Community Services Dataset between April 2018 and March 2021. The measure of child development was the ASQ®-3 (Ages & Stages Questionnaire 3rd Edition), which is used during the universal health and wellbeing check at 2-2½ years in England. Significantly, the study found very high missing data on child development in the Community Services Dataset as a whole from 2018-21. Despite 79% of children having the child development measure completed for them in the community, only 15% of eligible children had data recorded on their development. Given the Labour Government's new (2024) commitment to increasing the proportion of children 'ready to learn' at age 4-5 years (based on an assessment of child development by the teacher in the first year of school), this study comes at an opportune moment. The authors recommend to improve data completeness, standardise ASQ®-3 implementation in English contexts, and develop robust referral and support pathways for children with developmental needs following ASQ®-3 scoring. This study provides a foundation for future research and policy decisions aimed at reducing developmental disparities and improving outcomes for all children in England. The principal investigator, Jenny Woodman, said, "In 2024, the government committed to..."

Education Outcomes Linkage is a newly available longitudinal relational database from Northern Ireland containing data from the School Census, School Leavers Survey and the Exams Database. The National Centre for Research Methods has teamed up with NISRA to run a short course explaining the data, how it can be used and how to access it. A rich resource for social researchers right across the UK, this database can be used to explore comparisons across ethnicity, religion, geography, special educational needs and more. The course will stimulate ideas for research and give help directly from experts.
