Narrative:
Aircraft X requested to maintain his own terrain and obstruction clearance and a turn in higher terrain. I cleared him as requested and he turned into higher terrain below the minimum vectoring altitude (MVA). I was advised by management that my phraseology was incorrect and I needed to verify the pilot wanted a VFR climb before approving the turn. I recommend briefings on requirements for this type of scenario.
