Support for school age parents

We want to make sure that any teenage parents in Kent up to the age of 20 are offered the best support and advice to help them get through what can be a confusing and stressful time.  We do not advise on choices surrounding the pregnancy itself, for example, abortion or adoption. There are many independent organisations and charities who can provide help and advice of this kind.

If your daughter is under 16 and becomes pregnant, or your son tells you that his school age girlfriend is pregnant, there are several things you should do to make sure that the potential parents get the help they need. These pages will offer you some basic advice.

For more information and advice on services, please contact the Young Parents Coordinator on 01622 696367 or by email: lauraine.wood@kent.gov.uk.
