Short answer
Decide which household role the portal is asking for, confirm that adult's consent and keep their evidence under their own name. Identify each adult's role and keep their details, consent and evidence independently traceable. Do not place one adult's records under another applicant's statement.
Useful context
Keep every additional adult's application details separate
A household summary is only clear when each adult's role, contact details, consent and records remain attributable to that person.
The practical focus is live portal role allocation and consent.
Action plan
