Every year in England around 39,000 teenagers become pregnant, this includes nearly 8,000 who are under 16, Britain has the highest rates of teenage pregnancy in Western Europe.

The Teenage Pregnancy Strategy was launched by the government in 1999 following a report by the Social Exclusion Unit. This strategy aimed to dramatically reduce the rate of teenage pregnancies in Britain and to tackle social exclusion among young parents and their families.
