The law says children and young people are minors until you turn 18 which will mean that a lot of the time consent needs to be obtained from your parent or guardian around the support and services you receive but for young people aged between 13 and 18 you can make decisions on what we do with your information where we need your permission.  If you are still under 13 years old we will still need to make sure you have the support and permission of a parent or guardian though.
