Council helps teenage parents back to school

Young parents in Nottingham are being given the chance to go back to school or college while the council helps pay for childcare.

The Care to Learn scheme, run by Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County Teenage Pregnancy Partnerships, means parents up to the age of 20 can study at school or college or join a work-based training scheme.

Nottinghamshire County Teenage Pregnancy co-ordinator, Jackie Ward said: “We hope that the scheme will provide reassurance to young parents who would like to return to education or training, and enable them to take up new opportunities that will improve the future outcomes for both them and their children.”
