Consent

Age of consent

Although there is no statute governing a child’s right to consent to take part in research with non-CTIMPs (Clinical Trial of an Investigational Medicinal Product) the BioResource considers 16yrs as adult. This follows common law which presumes competency around 16yrs (using “Gillick competence”).    It is normally good practice to involve the family even if the young person appears competent.
