YMTB & PWP cited as best practice
|
Teenage Parents Next Steps: Guidance for Local Authorities and Primary Care Trusts - Case studies on pages 29 and 57.
Beverley Hughes states in her introduction "In chapter 6, we set out our vision for what we want each local area to provide for teenage parents and what we will do nationally to support them to deliver more tailored and responsive services. It does not place new burdens on services, but looks in particular at how key mainstream services - midwifery and health visiting services, Children's Centres, Targeted Youth Support services, Reintegration officers and Housing officers - can tailor the support they provide so that it better meets young parents' needs. It makes the case for an integrated approach to supporting young parents, with support from different agencies brokered through a lead professional."
