Consent was established in response to growing demand from parents who believe that undue pressure was put on them by medical professionals when making a healthcare decision.

We believe that most people act with good intentions and that the best approach to resolving conflict lies in fostering mutual understanding. Wherever possible we will do what we can to make medical professional see parents’ viewpoints and vice versa. Ideally both will gain a more balanced view on the situation, which will then also benefit others in the future. Where this is not possible, we will help parents understand their rights and support them in making the best possible decision.
