Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she plans to introduce policies requiring schools to give both parents equal access to information about their child’s education, regardless of parental separation status.

The department’s parental responsibility guidance sets out how schools should communicate with non-resident parents. The guidance states that ’school and local authority staff must treat all parents equally, unless a court order limits a parent’s ability to make educational decisions, participate in school life or receive information about their child’.
