We will collect this data at the registration of a birth, from the person who registers the birth and will ask for details of a second carer so they can also receive these informative messages. The person completing this registration will confirm that they will make the second person aware they have provided their details in order to receive these messages. The person who was not present at the registration will subsequently receive a text confirming that they have been signed up to the scheme at the registration of a birth, and can opt out at this point or any future point.
We would like to inform you of events and information relevant to your child. This will include information about local events and top tips on reading, singing and chatting to your baby.
