How to respond to a consent request (Secondary)

Consent requests at Secondary level follow the same workflow as Primary but may cover additional areas such as sixth-form activities, work experience placements, and UCAS data sharing.

How you are notified​

When the school publishes a consent request targeting your child's year group or form, you receive:

  • An in-app notification (bell icon).
  • An email (if the school has email messaging configured).

Responding​

  1. Open the notification or go to Parent Portal → My Students → [child name] → Consent.
  2. Pending requests are listed with a deadline date and the target audience (e.g. Year 10, Form 10A, All Secondary).
  3. Select a request to read the full details.
  4. Select Approve or Decline.
  5. If the request requires a signature (common for off-site activities and data-sharing agreements), enter your full name in the Signed by field before confirming.
  6. Your response is recorded immediately.

Requests that require a signature​

Some consent types — particularly off-site trips and medical consent — are marked Signature required. You cannot approve these without entering your name in the Signed by field. This acts as your electronic signature.

Changing your response​

You can change your response until the consent deadline:

  1. Find the request under Consent → Responded.
  2. Select Change response, choose the new response, and confirm.

After the deadline, responses are locked. Contact the school to request a change.

If you need to withdraw consent after the deadline has passed:

  1. Go to Consent → Responded.
  2. Select the approved request.
  3. Select Revoke consent and confirm.

Revocation is recorded with a timestamp. The school is notified automatically.
