Responsible use
AI must not make safeguarding decisions, determine pupil outcomes or replace qualified professional judgement. Every school should assess tools against its safeguarding, privacy, procurement and information-security requirements before authorising their use. The training supports informed decision-making but does not replace advice from safeguarding, legal or data-protection professionals.
