The Children Leaving Care Act places a responsibility on local authorities to support children and young people in their care financially until the age of 18. The Act also precludes entitlement to the Department for Work and Pensions benefits for this group unless specific circumstances apply. This support is managed through local authorities rather than central government.
There are exceptional circumstances where 16 and 17-year-olds can claim Universal Credit in their own right. A 16 or 17-year-old may be able to claim Universal Credit if they are pregnant and within 11 weeks of their expected date of confinement.
Eligibility for the Sure Start Maternity Grant is dependent on the claimant receiving a qualifying income-related benefit such as Universal Credit. Eligibility is not age dependent and the grant can be claimed up to 6 months after the baby is born.
A pregnant 16 or 17-year-old may also qualify for either Statutory Maternity Pay or Maternity Allowance if they meet the standard employment and earnings eligibility criteria.

The FCDO is committed to addressing barriers to education. Through the UK-led Girls' Education Challenge (GEC), over 64,000 girls excluded from school due to becoming mothers are now in education. In 2022, the GEC conducted research with pregnant girls and adolescent mothers and then published the findings, setting out how to support them to thrive in school. This includes listening to the girls, reducing financial barriers to education, strengthening systems to support these girls to complete their education and ensuring policies actively encourage their participation. In this way we can ensure these girls can continue to receive a quality education.
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what assessment he has made of the effect of UK overseas development assistance on reducing adolescent birth rates in the last 10 years.
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what assessment he has made of the effect of UK overseas development assistance on reducing adolescent birth rates in the last 10 years.
In 2019, the modern contraceptive prevalence rate among all women of reproductive age in the 69 Family Planning 2020 movement focus countries was 34.8%, compared to 32.5% in 2012. This represent 46 million additional users of modern methods of family planning – of which we estimate 13.2 million has been reached by DFID programmes, with rapid increases in Kenya, Mozambique, Malawi, Lesotho, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Chad – relative to what was expected in 2012.
Global adolescent fertility rates have reduced from 48 births per 1,000 adolescent girls in 2007, to 42 births per 1,000 adolescent girls in 2017. These results are due to countries’ own investments as well as investments from the entire development community.
The UK leads the world in our long-term support for comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), including for family planning. At UNGA this September, the Secretary of State reiterated our commitment to SRHR and announced a new £600m Reproductive Health Supplies programme running from 2020 to 2025, that will give over 20 million women and girls access to family planning per year. We are the second largest bilateral donor for family planning in developing countries and work through our country level and central programmes. These programmes provide access to family planning services, support an increase in demand for contraception and help countries to develop their own programmes. We have also led global family planning advocacy networks such as FP2020.
At the Family Planning Summit in 2017, we committed to increasing the focus on reaching adolescents in our programmes.
