Tool 01

AI Readiness & Risk Audit

Score your school across five domains. Add evidence notes. Generates a summary you can copy into a Board report or SLT agenda.

How to use this tool

Five domains, scored 1–5. Work through each section with the school's leadership team. Score honestly: 1 = unmanaged or high exposure, 5 = fully governed and well controlled.

Safeguarding drives overall risk. A score of 2 or below in Safeguarding & GDPR automatically raises the overall risk rating to High, regardless of other domain scores.
