Motor Development Project

To support health visitors and their teams in promoting motor development, the iHV received funding from Novartis UK to develop a Motor Development Toolkit in partnership with Action Cerebral Palsy and key stakeholders. The resources produced provide an important toolkit, including short films, to help health visitors and their teams understand typical motor development for babies and children at each age and stage, as well as recognising key warning signs of atypical development (when to worry) and identify when concerns may require further investigation to avoid unnecessary delay. The toolkit also includes information and guidance on how to respond to concerns and support families.

Motor Development Programme

The Motor Development Training programme is suitable for health visitors and skill mix teams, across all UK nations, to build advocacy for and understanding of motor development to prevent babies and children being missed.
