Trust leaders, DPOs and school leadership

AI Governance

Staff are already using AI tools. Very few trusts have a current, accurate register of which tools are in use and under what controls.

How the platform approaches it

  1. 1Maintain an AI product register per school and trust-wide.
  2. 2Record the approval decision, the controls and the reviewer.
  3. 3Review approvals on a schedule.
  4. 4Make the register visible to leaders and governors.

Capabilities used

  • AI product register
  • Approval status and decision record
  • Documented controls and restrictions
  • Named responsible owner
  • Scheduled re-review
  • Trust-wide AI usage view

Intended outcomes

Design goals for the platform, not measured results from real schools.

  • An honest picture of AI use
  • Decisions that are recorded rather than remembered
  • A basis for staff guidance

The register supports governance. It does not assess legal or data protection compliance of third-party AI tools.
