Parent / Guardian Guide
Chapter gives you a clear, jargon-free window into your child's careers education at school. See what they're doing, what's coming up, and how their career readiness is developing.
Overview
As a parent or guardian, your Chapter account is linked to your child's school account. You'll see a personalised view of their careers activities, upcoming events, and a career readiness score that grows as they engage with more opportunities.
No app to download
Chapter for parents works entirely in a browser — desktop or mobile. There is no separate app to download. Your school will send you an invite link by email to get started.
Getting started
Getting set up takes under two minutes.
- 1
Accept your school's invite
Your school will send an invite email from Chapter Schools. Click the link, set a password, and your account is created. The link is valid for 7 days — ask your school to resend if it's expired.
- 2
View your child's profile
After logging in, you'll land on 'My Child'. You'll see their career readiness score, a list of upcoming events they're enrolled in, and any recent activities logged by the school.
Haven't received an invite?
Contact your child's school and ask them to resend the invite from Settings → Team. Check your spam/junk folder too — invite emails sometimes land there.
My Child
My Child
A clear, personalised overview of your child's career journey at school — what they've done, what's coming up, and how they're progressing.
- Career readiness score showing overall engagement level
- List of upcoming events and workshops they're enrolled in
- Recent activities logged by their Careers Lead or form tutor
- Connected to their Chapter app profile for a joined-up picture
Understanding the career readiness score
- It's a percentage reflecting how much careers activity your child has participated in
- It grows as they attend events, receive guidance sessions, complete lessons, and more
- It is a rough engagement indicator — not a grade or a formal assessment
- It resets each academic year to reflect current-year activity only
Parent Digest Emails
Parent Digest
Your school can send you regular email updates about your child's careers activities. No need to log in every week — the digest comes to your inbox.
- Personalised to your child — only their activities, nothing generic
- Sent weekly, fortnightly, or termly depending on your school's settings
- Includes upcoming events so you can help your child prepare
- Update your email preferences in your account settings at any time
Not receiving digests?
Check your school has enabled the Parent Digest module (Settings → Modules) and that your email address is correct in your account. Check spam folders too — the first digest sometimes gets filtered.
Frequently asked questions
Can I see another child's data?
No. Each parent account is linked to a specific student. If you have multiple children at the same school, your school can link both to your account — contact them to request this.
Is my child's data private?
Yes. Chapter complies with UK GDPR. Your child's careers data is only visible to you, their teachers, and the school's Careers Lead. It is not shared with third parties.
What is the Chapter app mentioned on my child's profile?
The Chapter app is a separate product for students to explore careers independently. It's different from this platform. Ask your child's school if they have access to it.
How do I change my email or password?
Log in and click your initials in the top-right corner, then select Profile. You can update your email and change your password from there.
My child has left the school — what happens to my account?
Your access will be removed when the school deactivates your account, typically at the end of the academic year. If you need a record of activities before then, take a screenshot of My Child.
