Add a Responsible Authority for a Looked After (In Care) student

This article explains how to assign a Responsible Authority for Looked After (In Care) students to ensure accurate CTF generation. It details the necessary statuses that require an authority assignment and outlines the permissions needed to make these changes in the student profile.

Students with certain Looked After (In Care) statuses must be assigned a Responsible Authority, to prevent errors when generating CTFs. You can add details of the authority from the Student Profile. 

You must also specify a Responsible Authority for these statuses:

• Children’s Home
• Fostered
• Other/In Care
• With Parents (under the supervision of social services)

Permissions

• In Care: Administer All Students - View/add/modify/delete In Care details for all students.
• In Care: Administer My Students - View/add/modify/delete In Care details for students assigned to the user.
  

If you don't have the permission, you'll need to ask your admin team to give you permission using these instructions. 

Go to the Looked After (In Care) section on the student profile and click on the Looked After (In Care) status.

Click on Edit.

Select the Responsible Authority and click on Save Changes.
