This pregnant student guidance has been created for use of Derby and Derbyshire Schools and other education settings to provide guidance and good practice to manage the support and reintegration of pregnant students and school age parents including young fathers and young parents to be. Every young parent should be supported to remain in education, reach their full potential and manage this along with the demands of their new role and the needs of their child.
This guidance is the result of cross agency collaboration, drawing on national guidance and local experience. This guidance should be used alongside the schools’ own policies and procedures, including the safeguarding/child protection policy. The needs, support and safety and welfare of the parents-to-be and the unborn baby should be central to any decision making and consistent with the Derby and Derbyshire multi-agency Safeguarding Children Procedures.
