Recognise parental alienation via system misuse as emotional abuse

Background

Ensure both parents can access school and medical info unless a court restricts it, and recognise misuse of safeguarding systems to alienate a parent as emotional abuse harming children. Require accountability for professionals who enable it.

Additional details

Many parents are unfairly denied access to their child’s school or medical information due to unproven allegations. This causes emotional harm and alienates children from loving parents. Both parents should have equal access to updates and the opportunity to be involved in key decisions about their child’s health, education and wellbeing unless a court order says otherwise.
