Can GenderGP speak to my case worker, parent, social worker, or someone else on my behalf?

Can GenderGP speak to my case worker, parent, social worker, or someone else on my behalf?

Yes, you can ask someone else to consent on your behalf. However, certain conditions must be met:

1. Express permission: In writing or in person, you need to explicitly give your permission for someone to make decisions and discuss your case on your behalf.
2. Personal attendance (and your signature on forms): If possible, you should attend sessions and sign any forms, with your designated person present.
3. Power of Attorney for health and welfare: If, for whatever reason, you're unable to give explicit permission or attend sessions, your designated person would need a legal document showing that they have Power of Attorney to make decisions related to your health and welfare. This would also allow them to access your confidential information.

By meeting these conditions, the designated person can legally consent on your behalf.
