This webinar series optimises professional performance by translating South African legislation—including the Children’s Act, POPIA, and HPCSA guidelines—into practical operational strategies.

Session 1 unpacks the complexities of informed consent and a minor’s growing autonomy. Participants will navigate high-conflict scenarios, such as a child’s refusal of treatment or the competing rights of separated parents in the clinical setting. This training builds the legal discernment needed to ensure all protocols remain defensible and centered on the "best interests of the child."

Session 2 aims to provide guidance on balancing a child’s confidentiality and a parent’s right to information. It addresses the nuances of mandatory disclosures and third-party file requests within the clinical setting. By providing a clear roadmap for managing sensitive data, this session reduces medico-legal risk and equips practitioners with the expertise to navigate the ethical boundaries of modern, child-centered practice.
