What is Parental Responsibility?

Parental Responsibility is the legal entitlement for decision-making in a child's upbringing, automatically granted to mothers but not fathers, with the option for other individuals like step-parents to apply.

Who has parental rights?

  • Birth mothers automatically have Parental Responsibility
  • Fathers gain Parental Responsibility if married to the mother at the child's birth or if registered on the child's birth certificate
  • Same-sex civil partners have Parental Responsibility if they were civil partners during fertility treatment
