Account holders WILL NOT be able to see each other’s details through MCAS but they will both be able to see the child's details separately through their own MCAS Accounts.

Why do I receive some communications in the app and some to my email address?
SMS texts and plain text emails can be sent to the app but emails with links in them (such as Google forms) are sent to your email address.
