The school had taken the decision and the parent found out. The parent has raised the issue by saying if their daughter had been playing truant the parents would have been informed.

I don't see why he should - it's a Gillick competency issue surely, in which
the girl's GP makes a judgement as to the girl's maturity to decide for
herself.
Quite how journalists find this out and plaster it over the front pages of
newspapers puzzles me ...... how do they know these things without someone
telling them and wanting to court publicity - the girl herself, the parents?
Did someone issue a press release?!?

Hi All
Heard on the news this morning that a girl of 14 had approached a Social
Worker at school to say she was pregnant. They arranged a process of taking
a pill - the first one had already been taken and the mother found out.
Reasoned decision was made that the girl was of mature enough mind to enable
her to make a reasoned decisin herself without her parents consent.... Just
wondered, will the DP get some more flak here?
