Public Health Scotland (PHS) have published the Early Child Development Statistics 2022/23. The publication provides an update on children’s development as assessed during the 13-15 month, 27-30 month, and 4-5 year child health reviews. The latest information presented comes from reviews provided to children becoming eligible for review between April 2022 and March 2023.
Key highlights include:
- In 2022/23, 12% of children who received a 13-15 month review, 18% of those at 27-30 month review, and 17% of those at 4-5 year review had a concern noted about at least one area of their development
- At the 13-15 month review the most frequent domains about which developmental concerns were noted were gross motor (7%) and speech, language and communication (6%); at the 27-30 month review this was speech, language and communication (13%), and at the 4-5 year review speech, language and communication (8%) and emotional/behavioural development (8%)
- There are persistent inequalities in the proportion of children who are found to have a developmental concern. At 27-30 months, this proportion is 2.7 times higher among children living in the most deprived areas (27%) than those in the least deprived (10%), a wider gap than previously observed
