There is no limit on the number of delegations that may be made and not all delegates are required to be Authorisers who are creating and managing Users.
The people you delegate the authorisation powers to cannot subdelegate their authorisation powers. This means that you must include all relevant roles who will need the power of authorisation in your delegation.
You should consider nominating more than one Authoriser within your service to facilitate escalation processes when needed.
The delegate who is nominated as an Authoriser should have a senior role in the organisation with management responsibilities for the service and may have performance responsibilities in relation to Child Link Users, such as a team leader, manager or executive.
Your organisation may have specific rules or customs around how delegations are made, including delegating the power to all relevant people within a reporting line.
The power of authorisation must be delegated in a written form, such as by legal instrument. This may be recorded in an electronic format, such as in PDF. The Department of Education, as the administrator of Child Link, does not require visibility of the delegation instrument but may request proof of the delegation.
