Confidentiality and protection when working with under-16s.
When a condom registration scheme was set up at a sexual health clinic to address child protection concerns it resulted in a reduction in the number of young people using the service. The scheme was abandoned and a pilot was carried out to assess young people's views on condom provision. This article reviews the pilot and discusses issues of confidentiality versus child protection when working with under-16s. This is a summary of the paper: the full version can be accessed at nursingtimes.net.
