Giving a parent notice letter ? Help needed

[loobyloo168]

Hi all

Was just wondering when you write a letter to give notice do you have to put a reason ?

Because other than "you irritate me, and cant stand dealing with you" i cant actually think of anything, and obviously im not going to put the above.

Just wondering if i do have to have a valid reason as im sure just receiving a letter saying

Dear Parent

Im informing you that im a giving you 2 weeks notice that as of ...... i will no longer be caring for your child.

.....


OR can i just say for personal reasons ?

Just getting really fed up and want a letter ready there for her that i can justfill the date in and and give it to her when she starts on the doorstep next time.

You do not need to give a reason in the letter... you don't have to say for personal reasons or anything.

Although the parent will probably ask you and I tend to say 'change of circumstances' when it's a tricky one.

Hth :D

Really ? Thanks Sarah. I thought id have to have a valid excuse or just keep them on ?

Ace ill write one and keep it at the ready !!

I have quoted change of circumstances in the past.

You do not need to elaborate on this either - and dont be drawn into it with a parent either ie them asking you what it is and whether you can continue anyway etc.

Stand your ground.
