Safety

Technology, safety and safeguarding

Every lesson can be taught without pupil devices. Concepts outlast tools.

Unplugged first

Every lesson can be taught without pupil devices. Concepts outlast tools.

No pupil accounts

Most generative AI tools have a minimum age of 13. Where a demonstration helps, the teacher runs it on a school approved tool, previews it first and stays in control. Every deck also includes prepared examples, so no lesson depends on a live demonstration working on the day.

Check your school's position

Follow your school's AI policy and data protection guidance before using any tool, and never enter pupils' personal information.

Safeguarding

Four lessons deal with privacy, chatbot relationships and images of real people. Each plan flags this, and any disclosure should be handled through your school's safeguarding procedures.
