Young people in foster care must obtain permission from their parent or guardian before they can obtain emergency contraception.
2. The reasonable and prudent parenting standard involves treating sexuality (including masturbation) as a normal, healthy part of adolescent development.
Youth in foster care have the right to consent to or deny sexual and reproductive health care services including emergency contraception.
3.If a caregiver refuses to provide transportation to a sexual health care appointment, the case worker must respect their stance and explain to the youth that they will need to find their own way to the appointment
Transportation to sexual and reproductive health care appointments is the young person’s right. If the caregiver refuses, the case worker needs to make sure transportation is provided in a timely manner. Some appointments will be very time sensitive, so it will be important to take care of transportation quickly. However, the case worker should be sure to re-visit the caregiver to address whatever barriers exist.
4.If a young person learns they are HIV-positive, their group home may request another placement to protect the safety of their staff and other residents.
Youth have the right to fair and equal access to placement care and are protected from unfair treatment, harassment, and discrimination regardless of their HIV status.
5.Foster youth are allowed to leave school for their Planned Parenthood appointment, even if they don’t have permission from their caregiver.
As we all know, it is often a challenge to get medical appointment on the weekend or evenings. Youth are allowed to miss school to attend sexual and reproductive health care appointments and to have the purpose of their absence remain confidential. The youth will need to arrange with their school in order to get a Confidential Medical Release for their appointment. They cannot just “cut class” to attend an appointment. Case workers can help youth to get this release if necessary.
6. An eleven-year-old boy may consent to his own HIV test.
Youth may only consent to STI testing, prevention, and treatment at the age of 12 and older.
7. In California, if both the case worker and the young person are Catholic, it is okay to discuss only abstinence while informing the youth of their rights.
All youth have the right to be fully informed of all medically accurate, age and developmentally appropriate information about their sexual and reproductive health and the services available to them.
8. A young person living in a group home facility must give her birth control pills to staff for safe keeping.
Youth have the right to lockable private storage for their contraception materials—condoms, emergency contraception, pills, etc. Resource families should apply the reasonable and prudent parenting standard to decide the best and safest method to store these items.
9. The gender of a NMD in foster care is determined by their identity, not by their case record.
Youth in foster care have the right to services that align with their gender identity regardless of what gender or sex is indicated in their case record.
10. Youth and NMD with certain disabilities do not need to be informed of their sexual and reproductive rights.
All youth in care have the right to sexual and reproductive health care services and information. It is very important that we do not assume that folks with disabilities are not sexually active and/or as in need of accurate and supportive information. Extra care should be taken to ensure that the information provided is developmentally appropriate and sensitive to the individual’s needs. Making informed choices about our bodies and our sexuality is part of everyone’s well-being.
