Managing your children's accounts

If you have more than one child at the club — or your children attend different clubs — this article walks you through adding them, editing their details, switching between them, and what to do when they age out.

Adding a second (or third) child

1. Open the parent portal.
2. Tap the + button next to your children's names, or open Settings → Add a child.
3. Enter their name, date of birth (optional but recommended — helps the coach with age-banded classes), and any emergency or medical notes the coach needs to know.
4. Pick which class(es) you'd like to enrol them in, or leave blank and let the coach assign them.
5. Save. The coach is notified automatically and will approve the new child within a day.

You can add as many children as you like — there's no per-child fee from Adminished, and the coach decides whether to charge sibling discounts on their side.

Editing a child's details

Tap your child's name on the parent dashboard, then Edit. You can update:

• Name and date of birth — keep these accurate, especially DOB for age-banded classes.
• Emergency contacts — the people the coach should call if you're not reachable. Add at least two, ideally with different phone numbers.
• Medical conditions and allergies — every coach in the club sees this. Be specific: "asthma — uses blue inhaler before exercise, kept in left pocket of his kit bag" is more useful than "asthma".
• Photo consent — toggle off and your child's face will be auto-blurred in any photos the coach posts on the club feed.

Switching between children

On the dashboard, each child has their own card showing today's class, payments outstanding and quick actions like "Report absence" and "Running late". The cards are stacked top to bottom — scroll through to find the right child.

When you tap into a feature like Payments or Calendar, you'll see a child picker at the top to switch the view between them.

One account, multiple clubs

If your children attend more than one club (e.g. karate and Scouts), join each club separately using its individual join code — see Parent portal basics. Your single Adminished login is enough; you'll see a club switcher at the top of every page to flip between them.

When a child ages out or stops attending

Don't worry about removing them yourself — the coach handles this from their side. They'll mark your child as "left" so:

• You stop receiving messages and charges for that child.
• Their attendance history and any badges/achievements stay on file (useful if they want to come back).
• The child no longer counts towards the coach's active-student count.

If you've moved away and want a clean break, you can also leave the whole club from your settings.

Teenagers who want their own login

From age 13, your child can have their own Adminished account (UK GDPR child consent age). To set this up, the child visits adminished.com/join, picks "I'm joining as an adult / 13+", enters the club's join code, and creates their own login. You stay linked as a guardian on their record, but they get to log in and manage their own attendance, badges and payments.
