I have just spent the entire day updating all my policies and adding new ones etc and came to the Parental Responsibility form and it's confused me! It has a space for the parent to write their name and then underneath its says:
Parental Responsibility YES/NO
Legal Responsibility YES/NO
I know how to explain the parent responsibility to the parents, but not the legal one. Can they be both?
For instance, a mum will have parental responsibility of her child, but surely she is legally responsible for them too?
I have single mums for instance whose ex partners would come under parental responsibility (I've checked the criteria for that), so who would be a legal one????
If I can't understand it, I'm gonna look like a right twit if the parents ask!
Any help????
My brain hurts and I've already got through nearly a whole ream of paper printing out all the new policies and consent forms etc!
