Working with divorced parents

[catma]

Hi All,

Just want to pick your brains.

Legally schools are obliged to share information/engage with/provide copies of records/info/reports etc for all parents with parental responsibilty, even if that means duplicating them.

What's the general state of play in a setting? Especially if there are concerns about a child's behaviour/learning and the like.

we share with both. We have found over the years it stops any issues with the she says he says issues

Hi catma, we share as well unless one parent has legal paperwork saying we can’t, I have a statement on the registration forms saying about parental responsibility and that they have to add non-resident parent details also (expect that will probably have some sort of GDPR implication now - but we might need them in an emergency so that must count for something?) adding both to Tapestry gets the child a great deal as they try to out do each other with the best outings/holidays for their child to share at news time

Hi catma - yes always share everything with both parents

Again, we share with both unless legal paperwork to state different.

Yep, same!

Thanks all!!!  I want to make sure I give a sensible opinion to my friend who is going through a rather messy and vitriolic divorce process.
