Teenage parents are able to access a range of services from their local children's centre.
All centres provide general information, advice and guidance to teenage parents as well as access to the wide range of health, education and family support services currently on offer.
In addition, Abbey Children's Centre in Barking and William Bellamy Children's Centre in Dagenham provide specific services geared to the needs of teenage parents.
All teenage parents should have a Common Assessment which will have been initiated by their midwife.
Should this not be the case, agencies wanting to refer teenage parents for support, advice and services should use the attached children's centre referral form which should be sent either to Abbey Children's Centre or William Bellamy Children's centre depending on the young person's home address:
