Parental responsibility was established in the children act1989 and updated in 2003. Not all parents have parental responsibility.
These people have parental responsibility:
·The natural mother of the child.
·The natural Father of the child provided he was married to the mother when the child was born, or registers the birth of the child alongside the mother, or subsequently marries her.
·Anyone who has a residence order which is currently in force in respect of the child.
The people who do not automatically have parental responsibility:
·The father of the child if he and the mother have not been married and he has not registered the birth alongside the mother.
·Grandparents or relatives
·Step- Fathers
·Guardians of the child appointed by will.
What does this mean for my child in nursery?
·This means that at nursery, consent forms can only be signed by parents with parental responsibility.
·That children can be collected by parents who do not have parental responsibility, But staff should have written consent om the parent who has parental responsibility.
