Closed Require non-resident parents to be informed of issues relating to their children

Closed on

The Government should require non-resident parents be told if the resident parent gets a new partner with a record of domestic violence or abuse. Social care and schools should also be required to contact non-resident parents about any concerns regarding their children.

At present it is possible for one parent to become involved with a new partner with a history of domestic violence and abuse, and a non-resident parent may not find out or be told even if concerns are raised with the police, social care and school.

Creating new requirements for non-resident parents to be informed of issues relating to their children could help keep children safe.
