This session is an introduction to professional, legal and ethical issues concerning young people and their health.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Identify the major professional, legal and ethical issues concerning adolescents
- State the legal ages at which young people can participate in various activities
- Explain why legal ages at which young people can participate in various activities exist
In regard to adolescence there are a number of professional, legal and ethical issues. They are:
- Professional codes - concern standards of conduct that professionals must adopt in their care of adolescents
- Relevant legal considerations - relate to adolescent capacity to consent to medical treatment, assessment of that capacity, the legal duty of confidentiality and legal protection from maltreatment
- Ethical considerations - to grant young people as much self determination of their own affairs as they are capable of versus the need to protect them
- Relevant legal ages - at which young people deemed to have capacity to undertake activities
This session represents a brief introduction to the above issues though many of them are dealt in greater depth in the follow-on sessions in this module.
