Over 80% of parents agree young people should have access to confidential contraceptive services, even if they are under 16.
Professionals working within these services ensure that young people consider if they are really ready before having first sex, and support those young people who are already sexually active to have safer sex and healthy relationships.
Professionals will always encourage young people to talk to their parents or carers about relationships and sex.
