in regard to medical treatment...
Gillick's Case introduced the idea of parental responsibility and stated that children under 16 treatment [contraception] was the responsibility of the parents.
In my textbook it says that children 14+ have the right to make their own medical treatment decisions, including about contraception.
Is this just a difference in law between Aus and UK, or can anyone clarify this for me?
Thanks! ;D
