"can a non cohabiting partner still visit under the new rules
she is is in my bubble"
Support and childcare bubbles
You have to meet certain eligibility rules to form a support or childcare bubble. This means not everyone will be able to form a bubble.
A support bubble is a support network which links two households. You can form a support bubble with another household of any size only if you meet the eligibility rules.
It is against the law to form a support bubble if you do not follow these rules.
You are permitted to leave your home to visit your support bubble (and to stay overnight with them). However, if you form a support bubble, it is best if this is with a household who live locally. This will help prevent the virus spreading from an area where more people are infected.
If you live in a household with anyone aged under 14, you can form a childcare bubble. This allows friends or family from one other household to provide informal childcare.
You must not meet socially with your childcare bubble, and must avoid seeing members of your childcare and support bubbles at the same time.
There is separate guidance for support bubbles and childcare bubbles. |

Are you saying you can have 1 support bubble and a totally separate childcare bubble?
I maybe wrong but I thought only 1 bubble was allowed?

In Scotland they can but I don't know about down south. Check your government guidelines or better still check the guidelines for your area x |

If she is in your support bubble, then yes. We don't live together but we formed support bubble as soon as we could and continued to see each other at the weekends as normal. |

There is no such thing as a 'bubble' in law. I couldn’t find the 2021 lockdown law ‘cos there isn’t one! They have amended the 2020 Tier law. Before Xmas they amended it to introduce Tier 4 and this year all they’ve done is another amendment to put the entire country in Tier 4 – which is absolutely not how it’s being presented at all so the whole thing was clearly choreographed well before Xmas.
As with the previous law there is no legal restriction on travel at all once you have left home for a necessary purpose e.g. exercise. But driving is not exercise so in theory you can’t drive somewhere unless reasonable to do so i.e. to get to the nearest shop. But you could cycle as far as you like so long as not out overnight! When you think about it that is actually quite sensible. Perhaps slightly less sensibly, there is no restriction on how many times or how often you change what household yours is linked to. Linked households is what the law talks about, not bubbles.
If you want to see what the law actually says (as opposed to the advice on gov.uk, news etc, none of which is legally binding in any way) it's at https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/1374/contents but bear in mind that it's been amended in 2021 as stated above so you only need to look at Tier 4. The other significant amendment is that a PCSO as well as a proper policeman can do some things to you now so don't treat them like they can't do anything 'cos you might find you're wrong! Unless you've looked at the amendment and know what they can and can't do! Many people are offering advice on personal, political, ill-advised or other agendas. My only advice is that you should follow the law. |

Yes you can
If you share custody of your child with someone you do not live with:
If you share custody of a child with someone you do not live with, the child can move freely between both parents’ households. You do not need to form a support bubble to do this.
You can form a support bubble if you are eligible.
How support bubbles relate to other types of bubble:
A support bubble is different to a childcare bubble. Being in a support bubble does not stop you from forming a childcare bubble.
Childcare bubble:
You might be able to form a childcare bubble to provide or receive childcare from one other household if you live with someone under the age of 14.
However, you must not meet socially with your childcare bubble, and must avoid seeing members of your childcare and support bubbles at the same time, unless otherwise permitted by gathering limits in your tier. |

Yea partners that dont live together can continue to see each other if they are a support bubble. As people have said there are some rules regarding this.
Both myself and my partner also have children under 18 who are travelling between parents too. |

Thank you as our child is under 1 I've been informed that we can socialize with our childcare bubble (his retired grand parents) as in K can stay at her patents and catch up on some sleep in the spare room whilst they watch the baby as I am at work FT.
This is because parents of a new born are classes as potentially vunerable and may need extra support.
(note we don't have a separated support bubble just the childcare one)

Yes I understand there are different scenarios for childcare bubbles, that was just the top line above. Glad you are getting help, that lack of sleep is tough |
