DHSC are carrying out a national NCMP IT System Discovery project to explore the user needs of all the stakeholders that use the NCMP IT system or are recipients of information from it (i.e. parents). This includes user research to understand how the National Child Measurement Programme works for the people involved in delivery, or parents of children who have taken part or may do in the future. Answer Digital have hosted workshops with five local authorities to gather in depth information about local delivery and the variation in models. There are still a few remaining areas that need exploring so the team have created 4 short surveys (all less than 10 questions taking <5mins to complete) for 4 key stakeholder groups.
This work is supporting the digitisation of the NCMP to make future data collections more efficient and transform how we communicate with parents about their child’s growth. We’d be grateful if you could complete the short survey for LA NCMP leads and distribute the others out lined below
Please see links to surveys below. It would be helpful for schools that may be receptive to inputting into improving the delivery of the NCMP and represent your local population.

- Parents: Child health and measurement survey
