This is a confidential friendly service for young people. Young people less than 16 years old have the same rights to confidentiality as those over 16 years old.

Confidentiality
You will not have any information about your attendance here passed on to anyone outside of the SHAC service (like your parents, teachers, social workers etc) without your knowing about it and agreeing to it. The only time this may be different, is if you tell us that you or someone else is in a dangerous situation and our telling someone else may prevent you or them from being harmed. If a member of staff felt that they had to pass on information without your permission, they would still inform you of what they were going to do.

Your Rights
We hope that if you attend our SHAC service you will feel welcome and comfortable. If you attend our SHAC service you have the right:
• to be treated with respect
• to be listened to
• not to be patronised
• not to be judged
• not to be discriminated against

SHAC share the same philosophy as Streetwise Young People’s Service. The above statement is used with their kind permission.
