Description: |
In 2008, there were 708,711 children born in England and Wales of which 25% were born to parents under the age of 24 and 6.3% to parents under the age of 20. Whilst lots of recent policy and media interest has focused on reducing teenage pregnancy (DCSF ten year teenage pregnancy strategy aims to reduce this by half by 2010), there is little that focuses on practical ways to best support young mothers and fathers. A strong relationship between early parenthood and deprivation has been identified as an issue for public concern highlighting the need to look at what further ways can work to best support young parents; get back into education, have the emotional support they need, have adequate housing and learn the parenting skills needed to ensure that every child and young person born to a young parent is provided with the best possible start in life. This unique one day conference offers delegates the opportunity to explore the future role all associated professionals will play in ensuring that all young parents are provided with the relevant information to give them the best opportunities for themselves and their children. It will facilitate professionals to develop the expertise they need, ranging from good parenting strategies to effective implementation. We will hear from trailblazing local authorities, policy makers, frontline practitioners and academic experts who will inform on best practice, development and future strategy. The programme is designed to be interactive, encouraging good debate and exchange of ideas. Only £149 if you book before 1st September 2010 - Contact us on 0203 393 7394 or email: d.goodstien@carematterspartnership.co.uk |
