Please ensure you have read our Overview page to understand how your Template works.

To hide or show a Section or Field from your Template, you first need to open the Template you wish to edit. 

You will only be able to hide any non-statutory sections or fields on your Template, as well as sections which may or may not be statutory for some profile types based on your individual organisation. For example, Section 128 Checks

Please Note: Whilst some sections may not be statutory to record on your Single Central Record, they may be statutory elsewhere. If you are unsure about this, please refer to our Safeguarding Guide and your Organisation's policies. 

Visibility Eye Icons

You can hide or show a non-statutory Section or Field from your Template using the Visibility Eye Icons as below:

• Visible - Section/Field will show on the Profile Type

• Hidden - Section/Field will not show on the Profile Type

Please Note: If the Visibility eye icon is greyed out, this indicates that the Section or Field you are trying to edit is Statutory for that profile Type, and cannot be switched off or amended. 

If you are part of a Federation it may also mean that this field has been locked at the Federation level and cannot be edited.
