Jen and Amy go through the new Public Health England Tool 'Early Language Identification Measure'. We discuss what the tool is aiming for, the pilot research results, how it differs from the ASQ and some reservations that we have about the application of this tool to health visiting practice.

We would absolutely LOVE to hear from you especially if you have been involved with the pilot of this project or are involved in the roll out of it right now in your area. Drop us an email to [email protected].
