Informed Consent Matters has produced a new article on the Gillick competency ruling and "implied consent", both vital concepts to be aware of when it comes to informed consent in medicine - especially if you are the parent or guardian of a child under 16.
Please take a few moments to read our page and share it with any family and friends of school-aged children who you feel may benefit from this information.
The page also includes a template letter parents can send to schools regarding vaccination and Gillick competency,
Thank you for your vital and ongoing support in helping us to spread the message that informed consent really does matter.
