Caregiver portal
Preview
The Caregiver Portal is still being built. This page may not be turned on for your school, and it may change.
The Caregiver Portal is a separate website for parents and caregivers. This page turns it on and sets how caregivers sign in to it.
Who can use this page: Global Administrator, at schools set up as an education organisation.

Set it up

- Caregivers must exist on the Caregivers page and be linked to students.
- What caregivers can see and do with their students' sign-in methods is set in each method's Portal Permissions on MFA Methods.
