If a young person has the capacity and ability to ask their own questions and make their own decisions, they’re quite able to have their IGS session themselves.
If their parents aren’t supportive or helpful, a young person may feel better on their own.
Please note that adolescents under 16 will need to have a special Capacity to Consent Session. The session will be carried out by an expert advisor who will establish whether the young person fully understands what they’re doing and has the capacity to give informed consent to treatment.
