​Service-level settings
​Child-level settings

If a child is attending or has attended more than one service that uses Storypark, they may have one profile across those services. If they do, Admin educators can choose whether to share individual stories they've published to the profile with the other services.
​
This applies to profiles that are currently at multiple services, as well as profiles that move from one service to another as the child transitions.
​
​What is the value of sharing?
Sharing information with the child's wider learning community helps everyone to better support the child's development.
It’s important that this community can communicate and understand each other’s experiences and insights with the child. This helps the community best support the child’s developing interests and strengths.
​
​Note: In some instances, parents/guardians prefer to have a seperate profile for each service, these settings do not apply to this case.
​

From the service settings page you can enable/disable the sharing of individual stories with other services at a higher level.

When the setting 'allow sharing with other services' is ticked, sharing between multiple services is an option for each individual child profile at your service, current and future. Admin educators still need to choose whether each child's profile is shared or not.
​
This means you can have some profiles where the setting is on and others where it is off:

Additionally, when the service-level setting 'allow sharing with other services' is ticked, educators can also allow sharing when they create a new child profile and when editing an existing child's profile.
