# Approving a co-guardian request

> Review and approve or decline a guardian's request to add another person as a co-guardian for their child.

> Video tutorial coming soon

## Overview

When a guardian requests that another person be added as a co-guardian for their child, that request is routed to your organisation's **Approvals** queue. A staff member or admin must review and approve or decline the request before the new co-guardian is granted access.

## Steps (Web)

1. In the left sidebar, click **Approvals**.
2. Find the pending co-guardian request in the list.
3. Review the request details — the student name, the requesting guardian, and the proposed co-guardian's information.
4. Click **Approve** or **Decline**.
   * **Approve** — the co-guardian receives an invitation and can access the student's health plan.
   * **Decline** — the request is rejected and the requesting guardian is notified.

<Note>
  Approvals are available on paid plans only. Free tier organisations see a preview of the Approvals screen with an upgrade prompt.

<Tip>
  You can also filter approvals by priority (Critical, High, Medium) to triage urgent requests first.
