The Teenage Pregnancy Strategy: Next Steps Guidance highlights the links between low educational attainment, disengagement from school, a dislike of school and leaving education at 16 with no formal qualifications to higher risk of Teenage Pregnancy. Working together with Schools and the education service Redbridge Teenage Pregnancy Strategy is working hard to reduce under 18 conception statistics in partnership with our schools and to minimise the risk of long term social exclusion for teenage parents by ensuring they have access to education services both during and after their pregnancy.

RESPECT

To Top |
The Young People's Project is offering seven workshops run by Young Parents for Young People. The workshops aim to actively encourage young people to think about their own self-image, sexual health and peer pressure, alongside talking about the perceptions and realities of being a teenage parent with the people who know.
| Relationships What relationships do you have? How do you manage relationships? Looking at sex within the context of committed relationships. |
||
|
|
Effects Looking at the impact and consequences of unplanned sex including issues of Personal Safety and STIs - a baby is probably not the worst thing you can “catch” from having unprotected sex. |
|
| Self-Centred Looking at issues of self-confidence, self-respect, self–love· |
||
| Peer Pressure! Resisting peer-pressure, learning the art of ‘NO’ and how to become a peer mentor. |
||
| Essex Girls Looking at personal behaviour and how it affects how we are seen by others. How the language we use can sometimes undermine and devalue us. |
||
| Choices Where to get information – how would you get support. Visiting the Local GUM clinic, or family planning clinics – what’s it like there? |
||
| Teenage pregnancy The realities of teenage pregnancy. Stories, discussions. Perceptions versus reality. |
||
