Quiz Time – Answer 6

Question

• Is it breaking the law if someone under 16 seeks help about pregnancy, abortion, STIs or any other sexual health worries?

Answer

• If someone seeks help from a doctor, nurse or someone else in a sexual health clinic about having sex or thinking about having sex before 16, they won’t get into trouble.
• Information will only be passed on if the doctor, nurse or other sexual health professional thinks the person, or someone else, is in danger. For example, if they’re worried that the person is being treated abusively or is being taken advantage of.
