Have you been wondering what the difference between Gillick competence + Fraser guidelines is?

Gillick: child’s capacity to consent. Fraser: guidelines to decide if a child can consent to contraceptive or sexual health advice/treatment.

#IStandWithKeiraBell
More reading below
Here is a useful and up-to-date primer on Gillick and Fraser from the CQC: cqc.org.uk/guidance-provi…
Here is a further discussion piece regarding the Keira Bell case:

childprotectionresource.online/children-compe… via @SVPhillimore

“Any suggestion that the Bell case will somehow ‘destroy’ Gillick competence and deny 15 year old girls the right to contraception or abortion, is simply wrong.”
This BMJ article reminds us not to conflate the two:

For an in-depth family law perspective on consent/capacity see this training module from Lyndsey Sambrooks-Wright, barrister, hosted by Family Law Weekly (free sample of the podcast is available):

Gearing up to watch @publiclawprojct talk on Gender Recognition cases as part of PLP's (fab) week-long Equality Act bumper special. Headed up by barristers Sarah Hannett (Matrix) and Claire McCann (Cloisters).
I will try to live tweet along with hashtag #GenderRecEA10YearsOn
Overview of the domestic law framework first - that is the GRA 2004, EA 2010, HRA 1998 (art 8 and 14). "Worth emphasising that the take-up of GRCs is pretty modest" says SH. #GenderRecEA10YearsOn
Overview of case of Carpenter [2015] EWHC 464 (Admin).

No requirement of treatment (surgical or medical) but any treatment undertaken must be evidenced by a doctor. #GenderRecEA10YearsOn

🆕The Labour Party's position on women.

Will:
- Ensure that the single-sex-based exemptions contained in the Equality Act 2010 are understood and fully enforced in service provision.
- Misogyny and violence against women and girls will become hate crimes
- End mixed-sex wards
- Set new standards for tackling domestic + sexual abuse and violence
- Appoint a Commissioner for Violence against Women and Girls
- Establish an independent review into shamefully low rape prosecution rates.
- Create a safer society for women and prioritise domestic abuse as a health issue, introduce 10 days of paid leave for survivors of domestic abuse, and ensure women’s refuges receive the long-term sustainable funding they need.
