# What is the Match Approvals page?

Match Approvals holds suggested matches that a broker must check before either member is told about them.

---

[Match Approvals](/broker/match-approvals) holds suggested matches between a member and a listing that need a broker's check first. Neither member is told about the match until a broker approves it.

## Which matches come here

A match comes here when either member:

- chose a safeguarding option with Require coordinator approval or Restrict matching, or
- is under monitoring.

All other matches are shown to members straight away. When nothing is waiting, the page shows **No matches waiting** .

Brokers, coordinators and admins get a notification when a match arrives. For one member, at most five new matches are sent at a time. The rest follow later.

## Approving or rejecting

- If you approve, both members are told. The member sees the listing among their matches, and the listing's owner is told who may get in touch.
- If you reject, you must give a reason. Neither member is told, because neither of them ever saw the match. The same match is not sent again.

Your decision and your name are recorded.

## The page itself

The page has the tabs **Pending** , **Approved** , **Rejected** and **All** , and counters such as **Pending Review** . You cannot act on a match you are part of.

Agree with your safeguarding lead what to check before you approve a match.
