This has been turned on by default for all centres from 5th April 2020.

To reduce the number of touches at sign in / out SmartCentral has introduced contactless sign in.

This will allow parents to log in via their own phone but with added security to ensure it is done in centre.

If your centre has this function turned on the process is very simple :

The digital sign in screen displays a unique sign in code that changes daily.

Parent logs into SmartCentral through their parent portal account on their phone.

The parent will be able to select the child to sign in, confirm who is signing in and enter the code and click submit.

Done!

Signing out follows the same process.

Parents can sign in from their phones at the same time as other parents or staff.
