Can our child (12.5 yrs) go to GP alone, requesting support for their anxiety/depression?
Ex is refusing mental health support for them, and took out a PSO from me taking her to it.

hi, it's possible for child to attend GP without parent. think you should discuss with their GP.

they can also contact child line on 0800 11 11.

you could also report concerns to children's services.

@dadmod2 I've been prohibited from speaking to the GP due to the PSO. Daughter wants to do it on her own, but she's nervous about how to do it. I'm being accused of coaching, so can't tell her what to do either.. Rock and a hard place.
