Straight Talking

What We Do

Straight Talking Peer Education employs teenage mothers and young fathers (16-25 years old) to run courses in secondary schools about the realities of early parenthood, healthy relationships, child sexual exploitation and sexting. 

This work achieves two things:

• It reduces teenage parenthood and sexual exploitation by allowing young people the opportunity to make better-informed life choices.
• It reduces barriers to employment for teenage parents, supporting the development of skills and providing pathways towards economic independence.
