Do you only need permission to take your child on holiday if it's for more than 28 days?

Do you only need permission to take your child on holiday if it's for more than 28 days? We often hear people say that you only need written permission to take your child outside of the country if it’s for more than 28 days. Senior Solicitor Eilidh Coltman clarifies that, under Scots Law, this actually isn’t true. In Scotland, if you have parental rights and responsibilities you must have the other parent’s permission to take your child outside of the UK for any length of time.
