About this Presentation
It is important for health practitioners to understand and be able to explain the new sexual consent laws and also confidentiality laws to patients to whom it is relevant. The consequences of these laws emphasise the need for a detailed assessment of all people who are concerned about a sexual act they may have been involved in. Referral to the appropriate service and mandatory reporting legislation may be relevant in a consultation about this subject.
