Ages & Stages Questionnaire-3 (ASQ-3) and Ages & Stages Questionnaire: Social and Emotional (ASQ:SE)

The factsheet is for Public Health Nurses, providers and others involved in the roll-out of the ASQ-3™ tool, and provides information about:

  • What the tool is;
  • How it will be used;
  • Why it was chosen;
  • Accessing the tool;
  • Training for using the tool;
  • Data collection arrangements.

Red Book insert

  • There are not currently plans to redevelop the red book paper inserts at present as the Red Books are being digitised nationally.
  • You can still use the Bolton duplicate pads to put into the children’s red books, they can be used to broadly show where children are in the 7 areas. Please contact the Start Well Quality and Outcomes Team by email: startwellbookings@bolton.gov.uk or telephone: 01204 338149 for your copy of the Progress Check at 2 duplication pad.  However, we have developed a sample without the smaller bands that you could photocopy and use instead.
