C-Card Scheme
North West Regional College are C-Card scheme providers. The C-Card Scheme is a confidential sexual health service for young people aged 16–25 that provides free condoms, information support and advice. The C-Card Schemes offer supported access to condoms and signposting to local sexual health services. Young people who register will receive a ‘C-Card’ with a Client Number. This allows the service to monitor the access whilst maintaining user confidentiality.
The C-Card Scheme is one type of condom distribution scheme, which provides registered young people with a C-Card, a credit card-style card, which entitles them to free condoms.
Typically, a young person applying for a C-Card will go through the following process:
- Registration: when a young person registers for a C-Card they will be assessed to ensure they are safe, competent to consent (Fraser Guidelines) and are shown how to use a condom.
- Issue: once the C-Card is issued, the young person is entitled to an agreed number of supplies free from any participating Registration Site. Packs generally contain six to ten condoms, a supply of lubricant, written instructions, and details of local sexual and reproductive health services.
- Review: after receiving supplies an agreed number of times, the young person must return to a Registration Site where their circumstances, sexual health and medical needs will be reviewed.
