# Inviting a guardian

> Add the other parent, a grandparent, or a guardian from another household to your child's record.

A child's record belongs to whoever created it. Another person does not
see it by themselves, and they **should not enrol the child a second
time** — that would create a second, independent record. Send them a
**guardian invitation** instead: they join the same record, with their
own account and their own address.

A guardian invitation is what you want when adding the other parent, a
grandparent who collects the child, or a guardian in another household.

## How to send one

Open the child's record and press **Invite a guardian**. Enter the email
address or phone number of the person you are inviting, and send.

The button only appears for a child whose enrolment is **Approved** —
until the school approves it, there is nothing to share yet. See
[Children and their details](/en/parent/children-and-details).

A guardian invitation goes out on **one** channel, chosen when it is
created — email or SMS, not both.

<Warning>
  A guardian invite link grants access to that student's data. Pass it only
  to the person it's meant for — anyone who opens it becomes a guardian.
</Warning>

## The school can invite a guardian too

You are not the only one who can do this. A guardian for a particular
student can also be invited by **that class's homeroom teacher**, the
**secretary**, or a **school administrator** — from the class page. Both
routes produce the same invitation.

So if you have no way to send it yourself — because the other parent
created the record and only they could issue it — ask the school. Their
side of the job is covered in
[Sending invitations](/en/teacher/sending-invitations).

## Validity and resending

An invitation is valid for **7 days** from sending. A guardian invitation
has no separate "resend" — just create a new one: repeat **Invite a
guardian** for that child and a fresh link is minted.

After a resend the recipient's inbox holds two messages. The **newest**
one works — deleting the older one straight away saves confusion.
