No, you don’t need your parents’ or carers’ permission to get the contraceptive pill. All contraceptive services in the UK, including the NHS Pharmacy Contraceptive Service, are free and confidential, even for those under sixteen years of age.
If you’re under sixteen, the medical professional prescribing the pill will not inform your parents or carers, as long as they believe you fully understand the information and the decisions you are making.
The only time they may inform a parent or carer is if there are serious concerns about your welfare, such as if they believe you are at risk of harm or abuse.
