What would happen if somebody were linked to you

An employer or family member can be given access later — and you would be told the moment it happened.

How somebody could gain access to your record
How you would find out
What they could and could not do

Nobody outside the school is linked to your account today. The school can create such a link later — if an employer starts sponsoring your place, for example — so it is worth knowing how that works before it happens.

Manager: Somebody at an organisation sponsoring your place, such as a training or HR manager.
Guardian: A parent, carer or family member. More common for younger students.

You would be told, once, at the moment it happened

The system sends you a notification naming the person — *“A manager was linked to your account”* or *“A guardian was linked to your account”*. It arrives in your Notifications feed like any other alert.

The Notifications screen showing the Feed tab with alerts about a scheduled exam, a new quiz and a new assignment, each with a Mark read button. — Your notification feed. A link being created would arrive here.

It is announced once and never repeated

There is no screen anywhere in the system that lists who currently has access to your record. The notification is the only time you are told, which is a good reason to read your notifications rather than clearing them unread. If you think you have missed one, ask the office.

How your academic work and privacy remain protected

If a sponsor or manager is ever linked to your account, they receive visibility into your attendance milestones and overall results. Strict institutional safeguards ensure your academic work remains independent and your privacy is protected:

Academic Safeguard	How It Protects You
Independent Coursework Submissions	Only your authenticated account can submit assignments and complete quizzes, ensuring all accredited achievements reflect your genuine learning.
Objective Faculty Evaluation	Tutors independently evaluate and grade coursework according to accredited institutional rubrics.
Verified Attendance Registers	Session attendance is recorded live by the assigned instructor as the official institutional record.
Private Communication Channels	Your direct messages with tutors and staff remain private between you and the recipient.
Sign-In Credential Security	Your login password belongs to you alone and remains confidential.

If a link is ever created that you did not expect, message the school. An administrator created it and an administrator can remove it — the notification exists so that you have the chance to say so.

What you should see

You would recognise the notification and know what it means.

Helpful tips

Leave notifications unread until you have actually read them. This one arrives nowhere else.
