What happens when an approver asks for changes

When an approver reviews a child’s details in LittleLink ID, they can choose to:

• approve
• ask for changes
• decline.
  

If they ask for changes, the childminder will need to review the child’s information, make the necessary updates, and submit the details again.

What it means
An approver asking for changes means something in the child’s profile needs to be corrected or updated before approval can go ahead. The child will not become fully active, or updated details will not go live, until the amended version has been approved.

When the change is requested by the approver, the childminder will get a notification in email showing the request that was asked by the approver.

What the childminder should do next
To continue:

1. Go to the Children page
2. Open the child’s Details
3. Review the information that needs updating
4. Make the requested changes
5. Save and submit the updated details again.

Once submitted, the updated version is sent back to the approver for another review.

What happens to the child record in the meantime
If this is a new child, they remain awaiting review until the updated details are approved.

If this is an update to an already approved child, the last approved version remains in place until the new version has been approved.

Good to know
If changes are requested, it is a good idea to:

• double-check the child’s details carefully
• review emergency contacts and approver details
• make sure important medical or safeguarding information is accurate
• resubmit promptly so approval is not delayed.
