<p>Women who present for an abortion should always have the opportunity to speak to
a health professional or trained pregnancy counsellor on their own at some point during
the consultation to determine the degree of certainty of their decision<strong>.</strong>
Staff will take this opportunity to identify whether there is any pressure to terminate
the pregnancy from others. Where pressure or coercion is identified, pathways should
be in place to refer the woman for support from specialist services.</p><p> </p>
