Parental Responsibilities and the Best Interests of Vulnerable Children in the United Kingdom

Wilson Diriwari

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine British conceptions of parental responsibilities. When it comes to parents carrying out their duties, the analysis is centered on what is best for the most vulnerable children. To ascertain the degree of protection that vulnerable children receive from their parents or other caregivers who are legally permitted to do so, the article draws attention to potential inadequacies in the discharge of duties towards this group of kids, who clearly require more protection. This essay's goal is to investigate the issue of parental responsibilities from a legal and policy perspective in order to identify the shortcomings of parents as well as the constraints of the existing legal and policy frameworks.
