This Briefing Paper reports on a Nuffield Foundation funded project which demonstrates that legal ambiguity surrounding child consent adversely affects clinicians, young people and their families. The reports make law reform proposals designed to align the law in England and Wales with the UNCRC. It also incorporates a comparative element, considering reforms and reform proposals in other countries.
