Sharp rise in under-16 pregnancy rates in England

Sharp rise in under-16 pregnancy rates

Extracts:

"Hundreds more girls aged 15 or younger are getting pregnant despite a multi-million pound Government campaign.

Official statistics show that 7,464 girls under the age of 16 – some as young as 13 — fell pregnant in England in 2005, a rise of 283 on 2004. The age of consent is 16.

Nearly six in 10 ended in abortion.


The numbers translate to an increase in the rate of under-age pregnancies per 1,000 girls of four per cent, the biggest single annual increase for 10 years. "

"The Family Education Trust, a charity, said: "The Government's teenage pregnancy strategy is failing. Sex education and handing out contraception to young people without their parents' knowledge may be giving the green light to sexual experimentation.""
