Provision of young people focused contraception/sexual health services, trusted by teenagers and well known by professionals working with them, is the factor most commonly cited as having the biggest impact on conception rates in high performing areas.
“Over 80% of parents agree that young people should have access to confidential contraceptive services, even if they are under 16.”
(Teenage Pregnancy Strategy Beyond: 2010, Pg13)
Redbridge Teenage Pregnancy Strategy provides promotional resources, developed in consultation with local young people, for the YPF condom scheme, Emergency Contraception in pharmacies scheme and Brook services.
