Contraception is free to everyone through the NHS. Places where you can get contraception include:
community contraception clinics some genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics sexual health clinics – they also offer contraceptive and STI testing services GP surgeries – talk to a GP or nurse some young people's services (call the Sexual Health Line on 0300 123 7123 for more information)
Contraception services are free and confidential, including for people under the age of 16.
If you're under 16 and want contraception, the doctor, nurse or pharmacist will not tell your parents (or carer) as long as they believe you fully understand the information you're given and your decisions.
Doctors and nurses work under strict guidelines when dealing with people under 16. They'll encourage you to consider telling your parents, but they will not make you.
The only time that a professional might want to tell someone else is if they believe you're at risk of harm, such as abuse. The risk would need to be serious, and they would usually discuss this with you first.
