Better Support For Teenage Parents County Durham VISION In ten years time we will provide a support package to young parents which will take account of their differing needs according to ethnicity, faith, cultural needs, socio economic circumstances and family support available (the support package will ensure that every young parent, male or female, has equal access to full-time educational provision). There will be partnership working between the Voluntary Sector, Education, Health Care, Social Services and Housing Department to provide a choice of opportunities through a range of provision for young parents. Multi-agency services designed specifically for young people will be accessible and sustainable. Through partnership working young parents will still be offered support after the birth of their baby even if that support was initially refused by the young person. We will promote the welfare of the young parent and child. The young person will be supported as a parent, student/ employee and as a sexually active person. 91
Better Support for pregnant school pupils Where we are now – health • Information, advice and support relating to options for either continuance or termination of the pregnancy, with referral to the appropriate agency, if required. This information is available from GP’s, School Nurses, family planning nurses, Health Visitors and midwives and is on-going. • Antenatal care is offered with a choice of venues, i.e. GP, hospital, community clinics or home. We will aim to make all venues welcoming to young women and teenage mothers. • Details of parent/mother craft classes are available from the Community Midwife and in some instances, can be specifically set up to encourage teenagers to attend. These classes are often set up as required. • Information is given on choices available relating to care during pregnancy, labour, delivery and post-natal care. • Early post-natal support (up to 28 days) is tailored to individual need and circumstances (at present under National Review). • Initial advice on future family planning and the clinics available, ideally are discussed with both teenage parents and can be given by the GP, family planning service, midwife, health visitor or school nurse. Social Services • Young people in the Looked After System receive information on a variety of issues in a number of ways including a website, young people friendly booklets such as “got the house, now get the knowledge” and credit card information packs. • Sexual health issues and a directory of services can be integrated into these already existing publications. • We are looking to develop services for young fathers. Any new provision will be evidence based and closely evaluated. 92
