As a child, you may not be able to make decisions about your health on your own. But you have the right to be involved in those decisions just as other children have the right to be involved in decisions that concern their own health.
The Guide provides information and advice, primarily for healthcare professionals, about how to involve children in decision-making processes regarding their health. It starts by presenting the theoretical and legal context and progresses to describe important components of the decision-making process, helping health professionals to understand their role in supporting children, families, and other professionals to enact this in practice.
