Britain has the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in Europe but how prepared are the nation’s youth for parenting? In a unique social experiment, five teenage couples from across the country spend a month putting their parenting skills to the test by looking after other people’s children. They start with babies, before moving on to toddlers, then pre-teens and teenagers – finding out in the process if their relationships can survive the pressures of leaving home and expecting a baby.
