# The Parental Responsibilities and Parental Rights Agreement (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2009, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Parental Responsibilities and Parental Rights Agreement (Scotland) Regulations 1996 by prescribing the form for the agreement between the mother and other parent of a child that the other parent should have parental responsibilities and parental rights in relation to the child. This form is necessary because paragraph 51 of Schedule 6 to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 has changed the Children (Scotland) Act 1995 to allow a child’s other parent to acquire parental responsibilities and parental rights by agreement with the child’s mother.
