Q: What happens when I come into The Corner? A: There will be a member of staff at the desk to welcome you when you first come in. You will be handed a tick sheet which lists all of our services and you will be asked to tick which service that you need. We ask you to tick the sheet when you come in so that you don't have to say out loud what service you need in front of other people. If you are unsure just tell the member of staff and they can have a chat with you to find out what you need. Once you have ticked the sheet we ask you to take a seat (you can choose where you sit) and the staff will keep you updated with how long it will take for you to be seen. (This can depend on the service that you are for and how busy we are).

Q: Can you get the morning after pill or contraception for someone else, such as a girlfriend or friend? A: No. It is important that staff speak to the person that requires the service to ensure they receive what they need and so that it can done safely.

Q: How long will I have to wait to be seen? A: It depends on the service you are in for, and how busy we are. We will always try to get you seen as quickly as possible. Staff will keep you informed on waiting times as much as they can.

Q: How soon can I have a pregnancy test done if I have had unprotected sex? A: Three weeks after unprotected sex.

Q: If I tell you I self harm will you try to put me in hospital? A: We will not put you in hospital; however we will work with other services to make sure you get the best care possible. Self harm is a way of coping with troubles, not the most positive or constructive, but we would never force you to do anything.

Q: Who will you tell about my visit to The Corner? A: The Corner is a confidential service, which means details of your visit will not be shared with anyone else, regardless of your age. Staff may need to share information outwith the Corner only if there are serious concerns about you or another young persons safety or wellbeing. You will always be kept fully informed if information needs to be shared with anyone else.
