This guidance and self-assessment tool brings together the range of current evidence and advice on the partnerships, strategies and interventions that need to be in place locally if teenage pregnancy rates are to be reduced and the reduction maintained in the long term.
It provides information about teenage pregnancy in Scotland and the key characteristics of programmes successful in achieving a reduction. It is intended to be flexible enough to take account of local communities’ needs and cultural sensitivities.
Although the guidance and self-assessment tool is not specifically for education it does however provide an effective audit tool against which schools can track their progress - for example, education leads may wish to focus on the sex and relationship education (SRE) /relationships and moral education (RME) characteristics and self-assessment (quality indicator 3.2), to ensure progress in this particular area.
This guidance and self-assessment tool should support and help build on existing good practice.
