Barnardo’s has published a report on supporting teenage mothers back into education.

The report highlights truancy, bullying and difficulties at school as common experiences for teenage mums.

The report is based on interviews with 38 young mothers aged 13 to 20 attending Barnardo’s services across the UK.

Recommendations from the report include:

  • Ensuring that all efforts are made to keep teen mums in education, and where not possible ensuring that certified exemptions come from medical professionals only
  • Assessing teen mums’ housing, childcare and education needs when they first book in with a midwife
  • Providing publicly funded childcare that is on-site or nearby for all teenage mothers returning to education or training, for babies not just 2 year olds

The report is available to download from the Barnardo’s website.
