I’m literature and uni documents rather than referring to mother and father, parents and guardian will be used.
Bang on.
That means when writing to the people who have brought up the students, the language used will be inclusive - same-sex couples, grandparents, foster parents, single parents.
Everyone included.
Everyone will still be able to use whatever words they want to describe themselves as well.
If you like the word mum, whose stopping you from using it???
