Parental Responsibility & Legal Contact

Print This Page Print This Page

Under the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) that came into effect from September 2008, We are legally required to establish who has Parental Responsibility and Legal Contact for each child in our care.

Who has Parental Responsibility?

A married couple that have children together both automatically have parental responsibility

Parental responsibility continues after divorce

Mothers automatically have parental responsibility

Where the parents are not married the father has parental responsibility if:

His name is registered on the birth certificate (after 1 December 2003)

He later marries the mother

Both parents have signed an authorised Parental Responsibility Agreement

He obtains a Parental Responsibility Order from the court

He obtains a Residence Order from the court

He becomes the child’s guardian

For further information visit www.direct.gov.uk/en/Parents/ParentsRights/DG_4002954

Legal contact is anyone who has applied to a court for access to the child and been given legal contact rights.
