Reviewing children who’ve changed schools

When a parent submits a consent response, they can also let Mavis know that a child’s school has changed.

To review a child changing school, follow the instructions on this page of the user guide:

Mavis helps you review unmatched consent responses.
  1. Go to the top-level Unmatched responses page.
  2. Try to match an unmatched consent response with an existing record first by clicking on Match.
  3. Look for a child in the cohort that matches the consent response. You can search by name or date of birth.
  4. If you think you’ve found a match, click on the child’s name. This will display details from the consent response next to details from the child record.

Mavis makes it easy to compare a consent response with a child record.
  1. If you believe it is a match, click Link response with record.
  2. If you cannot find a match, you can go back to the Responses page and click Create new record to create a new child record.
  1. From the Consent tab of a session page, filter for children with No response.
  2. Go into a child record by clicking on their name.
  3. Scroll down and select Get consent response.
  4. Use the radio button to indicate who you’re trying to get consent from (you can add a new contact if necessary).
  5. Call the parent.
  6. Record their response.
  7. Check and confirm their answers, and select Confirm.
  1. From the Consent tab of a session page, filter for Conflicting consent.
  2. If you click on the child’s record and scroll down, you’ll see who has said what in their consent responses.
  3. Click on the name of the parent who refused.
  4. You can either mark that response as invalid (exercise caution here), or you can follow-up with the parent by returning to the child’s record to see the parent’s contact details.
  5. When speaking to the refuser, if they now give consent, you’ll need to go through the ‘Get consent response’ flow over the phone (see ‘Recording verbal consent from a parent before a session starts’, above).
