This document outlines a brief overview of the findings of a scoping search conducted by the Evidence Service within Public Health Wales to identify sources relevant to identifying if universal access to assessment of need has an impact on child health and development inequalities, with a focus on more formal social needs assessments conducted by health visitors if possible.

Initial scoping was supplemented by a more specific search looking at literature exploring universal access to assessment of need to a speech, language and communication services as this is one aspect of enhanced health visitor services.
