The guidance sets out what we know about effective delivery of local teenage pregnancy strategies, based on in-depth reviews carried out in a number of areas with differing levels of success in reducing under-18 conception rates. It also includes new analysis on the underlying factors that affect young people's sexual behaviour and subsequent outcomes, to help areas target their strategies on young people at greatest risk of early pregnancy.

The guidance asks local areas to review their strategies in the light of the review findings and new analysis, and reflect them in their forward plans. It also sets out what support will be provided nationally to support local delivery.
