WELSH Health Minister Edwina Hart has made a visit to a pioneering pupil referral unit for school-age mothers in Wrexham.

The visit to Cyfle took place at the invitation of Wrexham’s Labour AM, Lesley Griffiths, who wanted the minister to see for herself the work undertaken at the school.

Cyfle’s ground-breaking approach provides an integrated service with Wrexham Maelor Hospital Midwifery Service, offering education and other support to all pregnant or school age mothers locally.

The school allows pregnant schoolgirls and young mothers to continue with their education. The on-site crèche enables the girls to bring their babies with them to school.
