It can be tricky being caught between parents, new partners of parents, and lawyers and its never easy trying to determine what information if any you can and should share and where the line is between privacy rights and responsibilities and duties as a parent.

This article discusses key issues that have, and may arise for any early childhood service when parents separate.  These include who to release a child to, what information to share, talking with Lawyer for Child and dealing with requests from anyone else for information.
