[tracey36]

happytotschildminding of course you can use it, i took my co-ordinators advice and went onto the ofsted website and used some of the information and then put a place for signatures at the bottom, its not something iv brought from ncma just something i made up myself to cover me.

So am I right in thinking that if this is a Legal Requirement of the EYFS, then those children that are over EYFS age, we do not have to collect this information on them?

Or do you think it would be good practice to do so?

I have a 3 yr old and 8 yr old from same Mum but have seperate fathers so would I only need to collect information on the younger child? The father of the 8 yr old has recently appeared on the scene after no contact since birth, Mum disclosed to me the other day.

So I am thinking it would be good practice to have the info on all children, although could only enforce it's given on EYFS children due to no legal requirement on older children?

Just when I think I am getting straight with paper work..............!!! Lol

I am personally getting it on all children as it affects them all the same.

Please can you just clarify the terms again
What is parental responsibility?
What is legal contact?

If I am asking parents to sign a form I really want to be sure that I understand what I am asking from them
Thanks

I imagine this is parent not on birth cert and step parents - could it include grandparents who child lives with and lesbian & gay partners etc. - Gosh its becomming a bloomin' minefield.

So if a mother who is living with the father of the child but his name is not on the birth cert and he is the one who does all the dropping off and collecting has he no right to sign permissions and/or medication/accident forms etc? - Blooming hec how are we supposed to get things signed then?
