Leicestershire Teenage Pregnancy Partnership

Reducing teenage pregnancy is important for a variety of reasons – lack of knowledge, lack of confidence, poor access to advice and support and low aspirations are all negative outcomes which are addressed through approaches to reduce teenage pregnancy.

The role of the Teenage Pregnancy Partnership (TPP) is to implement and facilitate a Local Business Plan to ensure that local targets are achieved.

The TPP includes a large number of agencies who work together to prevent unplanned pregnancies and support young parents.

Since the baseline year in 1998, Leicestershire’s under 18 conception rate has reduced by 27.4%.

Leicestershire’s under 18 conception rate (27.6) is lower than the rate in the East Midlands (37.7) and in England (38.2).

The TPP also support young parents into Education, Employment and Training (EET). We are currently the 5th best county and have set an ambitious target of 60% of young people being in EET.
