Document Overview

The Legal Risk Score of a Child Care Agreement Template
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- While there are risks associated with childcare, these stem from the performance of the service rather than the agreement itself.
- Either party may terminate for convenience.
- The carer may substitute another registered child-minder in cases of emergency or short notice non-availability, potentially leading to variability in the quality or consistency of care provided.
