‘Should all parents automatically have parental responsibility?’

I have attached the module guide and would like the case, academic artciles and journal reading to be used firstly before and in additonal to any further soucre materials. I would like sub headings and double spacing.

I had given thought to the followng:
What is parental responsibility – discuss the theoritical issues (automatic/agreement/by order/gender equality?
psychological, sociaological, biological parenthood, contrast where they differ and whether the legal framework considers them at all?

Herring (2017)

Law – sec 4. CA 1989
– sec 5. CA 1989
– ECHR Article 2
Odievre v France (2004)
– Re H (minors) ( parental responsibility ) (1991)
1. Reality of living as a parent without having parental responsibility. (study or case material)
Most fathers do not have PR.
– Gilmore (2003)
2. Fears of Parental misuse (fathers)
– Re S (A Minor) 1995
3. Right of fathers
– Re R (2011) 2 FLR 1132 (Parental Responsibility)
( Look for a case that demonstrates both sides of this arugement / maybe ECHR)
4. Issues of certainty (under the current law)
Documents to prove parental responsibility, birth certificate, marriage certificates ..
fathers recognised on birth certificates
– Adoption and Children’s Act 2002
offers the protection against the misuse of parental responsibility and promotes certainty in proving who has PR.
-otherwise a father can apply to the courts for PR.

Need to consider the reforms in the Welfare Reforms Act 2009, Children’s Act 2004 and look at the UN Convention-Rights of the Child article 19.
