· How to manage the consultation:

o What their rights are with respect to confidentiality

o What questions their doctor might ask them

o How to manage discussions about medication

o Safety planning

· What to do after the consultation and how their doctor can support them including signposting and accessing professional support

* GP support for children and young people will be based on each individual and their personal circumstances
