Overview
Child Guardians allows you to maintain a detailed record for each of your children, including their personal information and your preferred guardians should you become unable to care for them.
You can include notes on hopes and dreams, schooling preferences, religious considerations, dietary needs, and any other supporting information via the addition of documents, photos or video uploads.
All entries are protected with advanced encryption and row-level security, ensuring that sensitive details remain private and accessible only to you or those you authorise.
Assigning a guardian for your child is one of the most important decisions you can make in your planning. It allows you to express who you would trust to care for your child if you were no longer able to. While only a court can make the final legal appointment, clearly recording your wishes gives those involved strong guidance to follow.
Before naming someone as a guardian, it is best to speak with them directly. This gives them a chance to ask questions, understand your values, and confirm they are willing to take on the responsibility if ever needed. It also ensures there are no surprises later, and that everyone involved is prepared, informed, and aligned with your intentions.
You can nominate more than one guardian per child. Listing multiple people in order of preference provides a fallback if your first choice is unable to act when needed.
The Notes field is a powerful space to go beyond the practical. Consider including your hopes and dreams for your child, the values you would want instilled, favourite activities, or a personal message for the guardian. The more context you provide, the better equipped any guardian will be to care for your child in the way you would have wanted.
Child Name required. The full name of the child this record relates to.
Date of Birth required. The child’s date of birth, used to confirm their age and identity for guardianship purposes.
Guardian(s) required. Select one or more contacts from your account to act as preferred guardians for this child. You can nominate multiple people in order of preference.
Medical Notes / Allergies. Any medical conditions, allergies, regular medications, or health considerations a guardian would need to be aware of.
Diet & Food Preferences. Dietary requirements, food preferences, or restrictions such as vegetarian, vegan, halal, kosher, or specific intolerances.
Religious Information. Any faith, religious practices, or spiritual considerations you would want a guardian to respect and maintain for your child.
Notes. A free-form space for anything else you would want a guardian to know, such as schooling preferences, hobbies, hopes, personality traits, or broader wishes for your child’s upbringing.
Reminder. Set an optional reminder for this record, with its own title, a short note, a date, and how often it should repeat (once, weekly, monthly, and so on). Useful for things like reviewing the details as your child grows. You can switch the reminder on or off at any time.
Attach Document / Photo / Video. Upload any supporting files, such as a photo of the child, a letter of wishes, school reports, or medical documentation. You can upload from your device or pull a file straight from your Digital Vault.
