You may be asked to sign for other specific permission relevant to the service.
CHILD PROTECTION
We have a moral and legal obligation to ensure that all children in our care are protected, and their health and welfare are safeguarded.
Our staff are mandated to report any concerns
All staff in the service are vetted through the Garda vetting unit and have the correct qualifications to work with children. We act to protect children from harm, which may arise. It is our duty in this case to question the cause of any behaviour, bumps, bruises or unusual markings. Our main concern in the service is to safeguard and protect the welfare of children. We have a responsibility to identify report and record any suspicions of child abuse to Tusla the Child and family Agency. We have a responsibility to respond to all child protection concerns.
COLLECTION AUTHORISATION
in the event of my absence. I acknowledge unless I have spoken to the Manager my child cannot be collected by any other person.
I confirm that the above persons have been informed by me that their details have been shared with the service
Separated and Divorced Parents
Married parents are automatically joint guardians of their children. Neither separation nor divorce changes this.
By law, an unmarried mother is the automatic guardian of a child born outside of marriage. In some circumstances, unmarried fathers have automatic access. The service should be informed about access rights. Unmarried fathers will automatically become guardians of their children if they meet a cohabitation requirement. An unmarried father who cohabits for 12 months with the child's mother, including 3 months following a child's birth, will automatically become the child's guardian. This provision is not retrospective, so guardianship will only be acquired automatically where the parents live together for at least 12 months (applies to children born after 18 January 2016.)
- We cannot refuse either parent to collect their child unless a court order is in place.
- We ask that parents give us information on any person that does not have legal access to the child.
- Where custody of a child is granted to one parent, we would ask you to clarify the circumstances with us. This information will remain confidential and will only be made known to the relevant staff. If there is any legal documents i.e. custody order, barring order we would ask you to provide us with a copy to keep on file.

ALL ABOUT ME (THIS IS OPTIONAL)
We believe it is important to know as much as we can about a child before they start our service. Completion of the following section of this registration form is optional for parents and guardians, but we believe it helps us to get to know the child and helps settle a child into the service if we know things about them.
