This latest report provides detailed information about teenage conceptions for Barnsley. It presents the patterns and trends in teenage conceptions in Barnsley, compared with national and regional figures. It includes information on trends and progress towards targets and local variations by geographical area. It also discusses the risk factors associated with high teenage pregnancy rates to allow us to identify these amongst our local population of young people.
Collecting accurate, timely, relevant data is key to the success of the Teenage Pregnancy strategy. It is essential for monitoring progress against performance indicators and for developing targeted approaches to addressing high conception rates. It can build a picture of young people at risk of teenage pregnancy, challenge and broaden perceptions help by local partners.
This report has been commissioned by the Barnsley Children and Young People's Strategic Partnership (Teenage Pregnancy Partnership Board) who has the lead responsibility for Teenage Pregnancy in the borough. The Board reviews the data on a regular basis as part of their monitoring of the effectiveness of the local Teenage Pregnancy Strategy.
