# Parent Portal & Consent

> How guardians follow their children's fees, attendance, results, classes, and homework, and how they manage privacy consent under the centre's data policy.

Guardians get their own portal view built around one thing: their children. From it they follow fees, attendance, results, classes, and homework, and they manage the privacy consent that governs how the centre communicates with them.

## Roles and responsibilities

| Role                  | Responsibility                                     |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| **Guardian / Parent** | Follows their linked children and manages consent  |
| **Education Manager** | Sets the privacy policy and consent options        |
| **Academics User**    | Ensures guardians are correctly linked to students |

## The My Children view

A guardian opens **My Children** to see a card for each linked child, then clicks into a child for the detail: their fees, attendance, results, classes, and homework in one place.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open My Children">
    The guardian opens My Children from their sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a child">
    They select a child to open the detailed view.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Follow along">
    From there they reach My Fees, attendance, results, My Classes, My Materials, and My Homework for that child.
  </Step>
</Steps>

A guardian only ever sees children linked to them. If a parent cannot see a child, the fix is to link the guardian to the student (see [Students & Guardians](/education/tuition-centre/students-and-guardians)).

## Privacy consent

The centre asks guardians for consent about how it may use and share information, in line with its data-protection policy. Guardians manage this from **My Consent**.

### Consent field guide

| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **Guardian** | The parent giving or withholding consent       |
| **Student**  | The child the consent covers                   |
| **Status**   | Where the consent stands                       |
| **Entries**  | The individual consent items and their answers |

## The privacy page

A public **data privacy** page explains, in plain language, what information the centre holds and how it is used. Both the in-portal **Privacy** page and the public page are available so families always know their rights.

## Upstream and downstream dependencies

* **Upstream**: the parent portal needs a [guardian linked to a student](/education/tuition-centre/students-and-guardians).
* **Downstream**: consent governs which notifications the centre sends; a withdrawn consent stops the relevant communications.

## Best practices

* **Link guardians early.** A parent cannot follow a child until the link exists.
* **Respect a withdrawn consent immediately.** When a guardian withdraws, the centre stops the related communications; do not work around it.
* **Point families to the privacy page.** It answers most questions about data use before they become complaints.
