How to Use This Contact Sheet
Fill this out once, then print several copies — one for the fridge, one for each grandparent or regular babysitter, and a photo saved on both parents' phones. Update it whenever a detail changes.Why This Matters
Whoever is caring for your child — a babysitter, a grandparent, a teacher on excursion day — should never have to guess or wait for a phone call to get basic safety information. A shared sheet across both households means the information is the same no matter who's holding it.The best time to prepare an emergency contact sheet is before you need one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who should have a copy?
Both parents' homes, regular babysitters, grandparents, and your child's school or daycare should all have an up-to-date copy.
How often should it be updated?
Review it whenever a phone number, medication, or allergy changes — and do a general check every school year.
Should co-parents keep separate versions?
No — using one shared, agreed version avoids conflicting information reaching a carer or emergency responder.
