I have noticed on some of my contracts & records

some parents havent put down an emergency contact other than themselves

How many should we have ????

Parents are the first people to call but they are not emergency contacts!

Emergency contacts are grandparents, aunts and uncles, godparents, close family friends etc.

The way I explain it to my parents is ... you need to consider your wishes for your child if you and your partner are in a car crash together.

Who would you want to come and care for your child?

Hth :D

Is there reccomended amount of emergency contact's or would one be good enough ??

No recommended amount.

I ask for 3 ... some give me 1 or 2.

One father a few years ago said there was nobody and asked me to put social services.

Hth :D
