Sexual Health

The documents provide clear flowcharts for managing sexual health cases in young people in Newcastle.

The Flowchart for Under-13s outlines the mandatory reporting process for all sexually active children under 13, requiring referrals to Children’s Social Care (CSC) and the Police, as well as guidance for emergency and long-term contraception.

The Flowchart for Ages 13-18 details steps for staff working with young people seeking sexual health advice, including risk assessment, Fraser competence checks, safeguarding considerations, and referral pathways for cases involving vulnerability or exploitation.

These resources are essential for professionals ensuring both appropriate care and safeguarding in sexual health scenarios.
