Teachers, coaches, employers, club leaders
Somebody has asked you to confirm something You were there.
You do not need an account, you will not be added to a list, and you will not be asked to assess anyone. You will see one thing they say they did, and a box to write what you saw. Then you are finished.
What actually happens
Three steps. No account.
Step 1. You open a link, or scan a code
Step 2. You read one claim
Step 3. You write what you saw
If the email never arrived, it is almost certainly a school mail filter rather than anything you did. Ask them to show you the QR code instead — it goes to the same place, and it takes less time than finding the message would have.
Fair questions
Before you click anything. Straight answers.
If an unexpected email about a pupil made you suspicious, that was the right response. Here is everything, including the parts that are less convenient for us.
- Do I have to make an account?
- No. The link, or the QR code, takes you straight to the one thing you have been asked about. There is no password and no sign-up. An account is offered afterwards, only if you want a record of what you have confirmed — and it is a magic link, never a password.
- What will I be able to see about the young person?
- Their first name, their year group, and the single achievement you were asked about. Not their other entries, not their school, not their profile, not their contact details. There is nothing else behind that link to reach.
- How long will this take?
- It is built for under a minute, on a phone, one-handed. You write what you saw in a sentence or two and tick to say you personally observed it. That is the whole task.
- Is my name published?
- Your name, your role and your organisation are attached to what you wrote, and they are visible to anyone the young person chooses to share that achievement with. That is deliberate — an anonymous confirmation is worth nothing. It is not posted publicly by us, and it is never used for marketing.
- What if I get it wrong, or change my mind?
- You can withdraw a confirmation. The record shows that honestly rather than silently deleting it. Anyone can also challenge one, and if a challenge is upheld we review everything else that person has confirmed.
- Am I paid, ranked or measured for this?
- No, on all three. Paying for a confirmation would turn your word into a transaction. There is no count of how many you have given, no league table, and no badge. Nothing here rewards saying yes.
Why your minute matters
A claim becomes a record with Your name on it.
Every personal statement in the country is a list of things a sixteen-year-old says they did. You are the person who can make one line of one of them true — and for a young person who genuinely did the work, that is worth more than anything they can write about themselves.
