 It isn't illegal, I don't think, but it might be a little unethical. If you are in a relationship with this person already, then I would ask him about his school rules, and if you are not, then cross that bridge when you come to it.

I think the law only applies to him if you were the student...not the parent.

 It might come down to that individual school and their rules/laws. He should have a handbook or a guideline something that states what is expected of teachers/dating. Most schools have pretty detailed handbooks/rules about this.
Not sure in the UK, but I have seen it happen here in the US and no one blinked an eye.
So I'd suggest he check the rules of HIS school/employment.

Hi,Is he the teacher of your child's class? Or of another class?If he teaches a class that is different from the one that your child attends, then I don't see how your relationship could possibly be a problem.If he is/could potentially be your child's teacher, then rather than him worrying unnecessarily, tell him to check the rulebook or ordinances - every school will undoubtedly hand over a set of guidelines that are to be followed by all its employees.If he doesn't have such a rulebook, then perhaps he can discreetly ask a senior colleague whether any such rule disbarring teachers and parents from having a romantic relationship exists.In any case, to assuage his fears, it is better that he ask around in his school itself. Most schools might have a different set of rules or guidelines, so it is best he check the ones for his school itself. If he is serious about you, then he can and should definitely find out. (discreetly though!)Wish you the best.
