We work closely with schools and in terms of sharing the right information we need to ensure we record the correct parent details and child surname for our families. This ensures we can follow a child's journey and not risk missing information and safeguarding issues.
The Department for Education (DfE) recently updated guidance related to names and parental responsibility. This helps schools to understand their obligations and duties in relation to the rights and responsibilities of parents, as recognised by education law:
Understanding and dealing with issues relating to parental responsibility - updated DfE guidance
We would encourage all school staff and governing bodies to be made aware of this new guidance.
