The Right to Confidentiality campaign aims to reassure children in the wake of the Sexual Offences Act, which children's charities attacked for criminalising consensual sexual activity between young people under 16.

Campaign posters tell young people that the law will be used to protect children rather than prosecute those involved in mutually agreed sexual activity.
The posters also inform children that they are entitled to free advice on contraception and abortion, but "you shouldn't have sex until you feel ready".
