You can get free emergency contraception from:

Many pharmacies sell the emergency contraceptive pill in their shops and online.
Getting contraception if you’re under 16
Contraception is free and confidential, including for young people under the age of 16.
The doctor or nurse will not tell anyone, including your parents or carer, unless they think you or someone else is at risk of harm.
