Research Days

We learnt some amazing things from meeting some great organisation, professionals and young people in Holland. 




Young parents have to..



  • Go back to work after 2 years or their benefits stop
  • Don’t get as much help with rent etc as young mothers in the UK - They get 700 Euros a month but have to pay rent, health insurance, childcare etc out of that. 
  • Have to do a voluntary work placement 1 day a week, 3 months after have baby. They have to pay childcare out of their benefits for that day if they have no friends/family to have the baby
  • Do not have legal guardianship of their child if they are under 18. They have to go to court to fight for this and prove they can be a good parent. 



More facts to come.....
