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.
