More about the Wise Up! campaign
The objectives of the Wise Up! campaign are:
-
to uphold the principle of confidentiality for young people seeking sexual health advice and services
-
to build support for and raise awareness of young people’s rights in relation to sexual health
-
to encourage health professionals to follow best practice on working with young people
Here's how you can support the campaign:
Tell the Government why confidentiality is important for young people seeking sexual health advice and services.
Young people can send their views directly to Brook. We will not publish the names of the people who send us their views, but we will use their comments anonymously to help explain to health policy makers why the right to confidentiality is so important.
Organisations representing young people and professionals working with young people have until 28 October to respond to the Government’s consultation on Working Together to Safeguard Children
