B4 School Check
The B4 School Check is a nationwide programme offering a free health and development check for four year olds.
The B4 School Check aims to identify and address any health, behavioural, social, or developmental concerns which could affect a child’s ability to get the most benefit from school, such as a hearing problem or communication difficulty.
It is the eighth core contact of the Well Child Tamariki Ora Schedule of services.
