Young Parents
Early Support
OneOneCoCo has experience of working with parents who are themselves looked
after children, and aims to respond to their individual needs as a young person as
well as a parent or parent-to-be. This experience includes undertaking an holistic
and therapeutic approach to the support and assessment of young parents who:
• Have experienced or are vulnerable to sexual exploitation
• Have little or no independent living skills
• Are unprepared – psychologically and practically for parenthood
• Have a history of substance misuse
• have experienced trauma or instability
• Require a place of safety
• Are not engaging in education or training
Holistic Therapeutic Approach
We work with young parents from as early as 24 weeks gestation and use the
antenatal period to assist in the management and reduction of risk, development of
skills, promotion of healthy and safe practices, and preparedness, by:
• Needs assessment and individual living skills development
• Appropriate therapeutic intervention
• Access to drugs/alcohol support
• Identifying and working with the young person to address the underlying
factors associated with risk behaviours (sexual exploitation, involvement in
groups and gangs, substance misuse)
• Delivery of parenting programme
• Tailored education/learning plan
• Pre-birth risk assessment
The service is delivered by an individualised team of key family support staff/social
worker, clinical or counselling psychologist, alcohol and drugs worker (as needed),
perinatal psychiatrist (as needed), midwife/parenting skills educator with
learning/educational support provided by registered tutors.
Tailored Learning
We select registered tutors and learning experiences with the aim of re-engaging
young parents with learning routines. Strength focused-Learning plans are
individualised to identify with the young parents' interests and encourage their
educational development and promote a positive approach to learning.
Aims
Our aims in working with young parents:
• Elimination of risk behaviours
• increased capacity to parent well enough

• Reduction in child/parent separations at birth
