<p><a href="/">1. Introduction</a></p>
<p><strong>2. Who can make decisions about my child's care?</strong></p>
<p>The right to decide how a child is raised and cared for rests with people who have ‘parental responsibility’ for him or her. Parental responsibility is the legal term used to describe all the rights and duties that parents (and sometimes other people) have towards their children. For example, it gives you the right to agree to medical treatment for your child, or to your child being taken outside England and Wales.</p>
<p>When a child is born, the mother automatically has parental responsibility. So does the father, if:</p>
<ul>
<li>he is married to the mother at any time after the child is born; or</li>
<li>he is registered as the father on the baby’s birth certificate (for children born after 1 December 2003).</li>
</ul>
<p>If neither situation applies, the father of the child can still get parental responsibility by:</p>
<ul>
<li>making a Parental Responsibility Agreement with the mother;</li>
<li>re-registering the child’s birth (if the father was not on the birth certificate and the mother signs a statutory declaration that he is the child’s father);</li>
<li>applying to the court for a parental responsibility order; or</li>
<li>applying to the court for a residence order.</li>
</ul>
<p>A step-parent, including a same-sex registered civil partner, can also obtain parental responsibility by entering into an agreement with each parent who already has parental responsibility. Other people caring for children may also get parental responsibility if they obtain a court order, such as a residence order or special guardianship order.</p>
<p>The local council will get parental responsibility if it obtains a care order from the court (see ‘<a href="/">What types of order can the court make?</a>’).</p>
<p>And adoptive parents automatically get parental responsibility when they adopt a child (or a child is placed with them for adoption by an adoption agency). The birth parents and anyone else who had parental responsibility lose it when a child is adopted.</p>
