UK 2-18 years growth chart resources

The 2-18 chart is mainly intended to assess the growth of school age children and young people. The growth of most children less than 4 years of age should be plotted on the more detailed UK-WHO 0-4 year growth charts. However, children who have been plotted on the NICM chart up to age two years can transfer straight onto the 2-18 chart.
