Abstract

The law relating to consent for medical interventions in children is complex. Children, when they are old or mature enough can consent for themselves, but the legal rules around this vary by jurisdiction. When they are unable to consent, this must be sought from someone with parental responsibility. This article discusses consent, and its refusal, to medical interventions by children, adolescents and parents.
