Type

Type of contact. Typical values include:

• SC1, SC2 and so on
• SE1, SE2 and so on.

Note: Normally the SC1 contact is a parent of the students, even if the child does not live with the parent; this is because the SC1 contact is used to determine family position and sibling discounts.

Contact Description

Description of the contact. Values include:

• Contact 1, Contact 2 and so on
• Emergency Contact 1, Emergency Contact 2 and so on.

Note: If a contact has more than one type of relationship with the student, each relationship is shown as a separate entry.

Contact Name

Contact's name.

Lives With

Select if the student lives with the contact.

Note: In cases of shared custody, more than one contact can have the Lives With flag set. The first listed Lives With contact is used when extracting information from Synergetic for surveys that require a single address for a student (for example, DEST survey).

Parent

Select if the contact is a parent.

Note: The parent contact is the person who is the parent from your organisation's perspective, not necessarily the natural parent. For example, if both parents are deceased and the uncle has custody and is as involved as a natural parent would be, then the uncle should be selected as the parent.

Selecting this flag adds the contact to the @PC (parent) constituency. They become a member of the @SCOC constituency if not selected.

Mail

Select if the contact wants to receive mail from your organisation regarding this student.

Reports

Select if the contact wants to receive reports for this student.
