In d6, Families are used to group learners who share the same household or parents (e.g. siblings or foster home residents). Proper family grouping prevents duplicate parent profiles and ensures school fee billing is consolidated under a single reference code.

Frequently asked questions

Why should I link siblings to an existing family instead of creating a new one?

Creating a new family for a sibling results in duplicate accounts, double invoices, double communications, and contact details that must be updated in two places.

What happens to school fee balances when I move a learner to a new family?

Moving a learner to a new family does not automatically move historical debt. Coordinate with the finance department to ensure the correct accountable person is billed.
