Helps you meet government targets
The guide meets the second strand of the government's teenage pregnancy strategy: to provide ongoing support and assistance.
Customised for you
We're customising the guide for teenage pregnancy coordinators across the country, with details of local contacts for the section, Who Else Can Help?
What young mums want
We asked young mums: If you had a guide to all those things you needed to know once you knew you were pregnant, what should it contain?
Professional backup
The guide is based on their responses, plus thorough research and consultation with appropriate professionals.
Getting the balance right
It had to be easy-read and appeal to young mums, yet be accurate and have all the information they might need in circumstances they had yet to meet. This guide, we're told, strikes the right balance.
Encourages coordination
According to Liz Kay, Sefton's teenage pregnancy coordinator, getting all the agencies to agree on the contents helped to encourage a coordinated response.
Advisers Love It
Having all the information in an accessible format, helps advisers provide practical accurate advice.
