Children's Consent: Philosophy and Law in Conversation

This workshop brings together academics working in philosophy and law to explore children's consent to medical treatment in addition to a range of closely related issues, including children’s values, wellbeing, responsibility, and decision-making capacity. The event will provide a broader understanding of these matters and of the nature of childhood and of consent more broadly.

Full details of the event, including the programme, may be found on the project website Children's Consent. 

A very limited number of attendee places, including provision for six (6) early-career researchers (graduate student or non-permanent staff), are available. Please express your interest by 28 February to childrensconsent@gmail.com.
