In October 2002 the then Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, now Communities and Local Government, commissioned the School for Policy Studies, University of Bristol, to evaluate the Safer Communities Supported Housing Fund (SCSHF) and the Approved Development Programme (ADP) pilots for teenage mothers.
This guide draws on an evaluation of the ADP pilots for teenage mothers funded in the 2000/2001 funding round. Its purpose is to discuss key lessons that can be drawn from the experience of developing and initially operating the pilots and to highlight aspects of good practice.
