What is Red Flags Bermuda, and the Red Flags Bermuda guide?

Red Flags Bermuda is a quick reference tool to assist early years professionals, parents, or primary caregivers, and members of the community in knowing when and where to refer children from birth to the age of six years for whom there are potential health, growth and development concerns. It has been adapted to make information on available resources in Bermuda more accessible to members of the public, as well as to early years professionals for whom the original Red Flags tools, worldwide, were developed.

Red Flags Bermuda hopes to assist individuals in identifying when children could be at risk of not meeting their expected health outcomes or developmental milestones. It also includes other areas that may impact child health, growth, and development due to the dynamics of parent-child interaction, such as maternal mental illness, abuse, etc.
 

Red Flags Bermuda allows individuals to review and better understand, on a continuum, the domains that are traditionally outside of their own area of expertise.
