Your centre controls who can access a child’s profile. Authorised staff invite families from the child’s Family sharing page.

Before you invite someone

  • Check the child and email address.

  • If Family sharing is missing, ask your manager to check Families settings and your access.

Open Family sharing

  1. Open Journeys and use Search children to find the child.

    Journeys child list: 1 searches for a child; 2 opens Maya P’s three-dot menu. Other demo names are redacted.

    2. Child’s menu

  2. Open the child’s three-dot menu and select Family sharing.

    Child menu: 1 selects Family sharing.

You can also open the child’s Profile and select Manage family access under Family.

Send the invitation

Select Invite (the person-plus icon on a small screen) to open Invite family.

Choose the family member’s access

  • Full access — update the child’s details and contribute using the available family tools. It does not allow family members to invite others.

  • View and discuss — view shared information and join available discussions.

Older Share profile screen: enter the email, choose Parent (Full access) or Viewer (View and discuss), then Invite.

What happens next?

Family must accept using the invited email before receiving access.

Accepted shows connected family; Invited includes pending and expired invites; Disabled shows access turned off.

Under Invited, use the three-dot menu to Resend invite when available. Resend shortly shows the remaining time during the one-minute cooldown.

If Mana cannot confirm sending, refresh the list before trying again. For resend and deletion steps, see manage an unused invitation.

Change a connected family member’s access

Under Accepted, open the person’s three-dot menu and choose an available access level. The current level is checked. Externally managed access stays locked. To stop a connected family member’s access, choose Remove access.

Accepted family menu: 1 opens the person’s actions; 2 selects Remove access. Full access is checked and View and discuss is available.

2. Remove access

Check the confirmation before continuing. Removing access stops this person from accessing this child’s learning and removes the child’s updates from their Home page. Select Remove access to confirm, or Cancel to leave access unchanged.

Remove access confirmation: 3 explains that this child’s updates will be removed from the family member’s Home page; 4 confirms Remove access. Cancel leaves access unchanged.

3. Effect on Home updates

4. Confirm removal

Families can contact their centre to add another family member. Read why centres manage family access and chats.
