Stands for
FG — Specific criteria for providing contraceptive or sexual health advice to under-16s without parental consent.
How it works in KallosSim
- In practice language — Specific criteria for providing contraceptive or sexual health advice to under-16s without parental consent.
- What it means — Fraser guidelines (from Lord Fraser's judgment in Gillick v West Norfolk AHA [1986]) set out specific conditions under which a healthcare professional can provide contraceptive or sexual health advice to a young person under 16 without parental knowledge or consent. The five criteria are: (1) the young person understands the advice; (2) they cannot be persuaded to involve a parent; (3) they will have sex whether or not they receive contraceptive advice; (4) physical and mental health will suffer without treatment; (5) it is in their best interests to receive the advice or treatment. Fraser guidelines apply STRICTLY AND EXCLUSIVELY to contraceptive and sexual health decisions. Applying 'Fraser' to a child's consent to mental health treatment, general medical care, or any other context is a legal error — Gillick competence governs those decisions.
