Provision of a confidential, private environment for sexual history-taking was provided in almost all clinics. However, less than half of the clinics had a policy displayed about their confidentiality policy in waiting areas, although more had this available by other means. About two-thirds of clinic information/advertising literature included information about the need to take a sexual history. Sixty percent of clinics assessed clinician communication skills as part of service quality. Most clinics had policies relating to patients whose first language is not English, but only around half of clinics had policies for hearing difficulties and learning difficulties. Policies are also lacking in some clinics for documentation of the offer of chaperones and assessment of the competency of under-16-year-olds to consent to history-taking and examination.
