Abstract
This article outlines how a health visiting service and a local education authority early years service in Hackney, east London, worked in partnership to improve the uptake of the Healthy Child Programme 2–2.5-year development review ( Department of Health, 2009 ). This work influenced the 2015 national roll-out of the integrated 2-year development review. The partnership made effective use of shared aims and a long-term vision to improve health outcomes for all children, particularly vulnerable families who had missed their 2-year review. An Integrated Review Implementation Group was established with credible operational health visiting and early years leaders who embedded the vision through staff engagement and joint training within a robust governance framework. As a result of the project, improvements to service delivery, integrated work and a significant increase in the uptake of the 2-year review have been achieved.
