Secure Access

The Secure Access Portal allows registered users access to the Department for Education's systems which include:

Secure Access can be accessed at: https://sa.education.gov.uk/idp/Authn/UserPassword

As of December 2013 each school has one 'Approver' account for Secure Access. This account allows for the creation of other standard accounts within schools and academies. The Approver can add, edit, remove accounts and reset passwords for their school and can control access to s2s, KtS and COLLECT (where applicable).

COLLECT Access is no longer managed by the DfE's EDD Helpdesk, however should the Approver need a password reset they must use the “Forgotten Username or Password” link or complete the DfE's Secure Access Service Request form to gain access to the site.
