Final phase of the multi-factor authentication roll out

23 September 2026

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is becoming mandatory for signing into all Microsoft applications. 


We’re into the final phase of the MFA roll out across the organisation. CST, Place and  Adult Social Care and Health are now complete.

If you work in Children's Services you must register for MFA before the 5 October deadline or you will lose access to Microsoft applications:

If you haven’t already, you can register for MFA today. Head over to our Learning Centre Multi-Factor Authentication guides to find out more.  

Whether you’re registering for MFA for the first time or have previously registered, we recommend that you register for the Microsoft Authenticator app. Setup is simple, and the app can be used to manage other MFA accounts such as banks, email and shopping.

Questions about MFA app data privacy or phone permissions? Our Microsoft Authenticator and your privacy page will answer those questions so that you can be confident that your personal data is not being shared.
