The Parental Responsibility Act (UK)

The Parental Responsibility Act in the UK outlines the legal rights, duties, and responsibilities that parents have for their child's welfare and upbringing. It ensures parents make important decisions about their child's education, health, and living arrangements, and protects their role legally. The law also establishes guidelines on how parental responsibility is shared or transferred, particularly in cases of separation or divorce. Its aim is to promote the child's best interests while clarifying parents' rights and obligations, ensuring stable and supportive environments for children’s development.
