Document background
The Caregiver Authorization Letter is essential in situations where parents or legal guardians need to formally delegate caregiving responsibilities to another person in Singapore. This document becomes particularly important during extended absences, medical emergencies, or when regular care arrangements are needed. It provides legal protection for all parties involved and ensures clear communication of authority and responsibilities. The letter must comply with Singapore's legal framework, including the Mental Capacity Act and Children and Young Persons Act, and typically includes detailed information about the child, caregiver, scope of authority, and duration of care arrangement.
