If you’re under 16
Anyone can get contraception for free in Scotland, even if you’re under 16.
If you’re under 16, they might encourage you to tell your parents, but you do not have to.
The only time a professional might need to tell someone else is if they think you’re at risk of harm, such as abuse. The risk would need to be serious. They’d usually talk about it with you first.
