Under 16? - Sexual Health Wirral

Sex and the law

The law says it's legal for you to agree or consent to sex from the age of 16. If you're under 16 the law is different,  however  you are still able to get confidential contraception, sexually transmitted infection (STI) screenings or help & support from any one of our clinics across Wirral.

We also provide free condoms, but it is important that you have a chat with a health professional if you are thinking about having sex. Why not pop into one of our walk-in and wait clinics? 

Read Will they tell my parents? to find out more about confidentiality whatever your age.
