Add a child to your account

Children do not have their own Dyno account. You add them to yours, and then you book, pay and act for them. A child added this way appears on the class register so coaches know they are there, but has no login of their own.

Add a child

1. Open the Profile tab and tap the menu icon at the top right, labelled Settings.
2. Tap Family.
3. Tap Add child.
4. Enter their First name and Last name.
5. Tap Select date of birth and pick their date of birth. There is no default: you have to choose it.
6. Under Your relationship, choose Parent, Guardian, Carer or Other.
7. Tick the box that says you confirm you are this child's parent or legal guardian and consent to their data being processed on their behalf.
8. Tap Add child.

The Add child button stays greyed out until the name, the date of birth and the consent tick are all filled in. Your consent is recorded against the child, with the wording you agreed to.

You can manage up to 20 children on one account.

Add a child while you are buying their membership

You do not have to set them up first. On the Purchase Membership screen you will see Buying this for a child? with an Add a child button. Tap it, fill in the same details and consent tick, and tap Add child. The new child is then picked as the recipient under Who's this for?, so the membership is bought for them and paid for by you.

If your club added your children for you

If your club imported your family, you will be shown a sheet headed Confirm your children the next time you sign in. It lists each child your club staged, with their date of birth and the membership waiting for them.

For each child, tap their name to open it, then choose:

• This is my child to confirm.
• Something's wrong, then either Not my child or Details are wrong.

Confirming records the same parental consent: that you are their parent or guardian, that their account sits under yours, that you book, pay and act for them, and that the club records the relationship. Tap Confirm 1 child (or however many) to finish, or Not now to decide later. Nothing is added while you wait.

If you flag a child, they are not added and your club is asked to check the details. You cannot undo that from the app.

What a child account can and cannot do

You can read this in the app at any time: Settings, Family, then What can my child see and do on Dyno?

They can:

• be booked into classes and events by you, and appear on the register
• have a membership you manage and pay for
• take part in progression, awards and performance tracking run by their club

They cannot:

• log in on their own
• send or receive direct messages with anyone, including staff
• appear in search, or be found by other members
• have a public profile
• post or comment on club feeds

For the full picture, see How children are kept safe on Dyno.

Booking for them

When you have children on your account, the booking button on a class or event opens a Who's attending? list instead of booking you straight in. Tick yourself, your child, or both, and confirm. Once anyone in the family is booked, the button becomes Manage booking, and unticking someone cancels their place. See Book a class or session.

Notifications about your child, including class reminders, come to you.

Paying for them

Everything a child does is paid for by you, off the card saved on your account. Your child never enters card details and never sees a payment screen.

When you buy passes, the app asks Who is this pass for? Passes are held per person: the pass lands on the child's account and they scan it themselves, while you pay for it. See Buy and use a pass.

Where their memberships live

A child's memberships, including any waiting to be set up, are in Settings, then Memberships, in a section under their name. That is where you buy, check and cancel them. See Manage your membership in the app.

Settings, Family, then their name shows their details, any courses they are enrolled on, and their progress at each club.

Emergency contact, medical notes and photo consent

Open the club, tap My Membership, find your child's section and tap Welfare & consent. You can view and update their emergency contact, medical notes and photo and media consent for that club.

Remove a child

1. Go to Settings, then Family.
2. Tap the bin icon next to their name.
3. Read the message, then tap Remove.

They are removed from your family, and their booking and membership history is kept. You cannot undo it.
