Allison Low
I am a Consultant Paediatrician and Clinical Lead for Children and Young People’s Diabetes in the CYP Alliance Team. I am responsible for linking together the five Paediatric Diabetes Units in the region, making sure that we help each other reach the same high standards of care.

Mental Capacity
As children and young people develop and mature, most become increasingly able to make informed decisions about their own health care. This is an important part of getting ready to be an adult. Watching a young person taking on more responsibility for their own health can stir up all sorts of emotions for parents and carers – pride, relief, a sense of loss, pleasure, and anxiety (and sometimes all at the same time!).
The Law assumes that young people can make their own decisions from the age of 16 years, although sometimes they may be able to decide for themselves earlier than this.
Some young people and adults may never be able to do this or need extra help to make an informed choice. The Mental Capacity Act 2015 sets out what should happen in these circumstances.
