Can I discuss my teenagers visit?
All visits to Teen Clinic are strictly confidential. We are not able to discuss your child’s visit with you and we cannot release their medical records to you without their consent.
We encourage all teens to discuss their visit and decisions with their parents or guardians but this is the decision of the individual.
In some situations we may be required to share personal health information with others outside of the care team. These situations would include if we think the teenager is putting themselves or someone else in danger. This is called mandatory reporting and is a legal requirement for those working in health care.
