AI Safe-Use Pack · Training Providers
AI governance for training providers, done in an afternoon
Your team already uses AI to draft learner feedback, build materials and answer queries. That is fine, until learner data ends up in the wrong tool, or an Ofsted or funding audit asks how you control it. This is not a single template: it is a complete system, with six core documents rewritten for how training and apprenticeship providers actually work.
Sound familiar?
- ▸ Staff paste learner names and assessment data into free AI tools with no policy in place.
- ▸ Funding and quality audits expect clear data governance, and AI is now part of that picture.
- ▸ Tutors are unsure where AI sits in marking and assessment, and the AO and EPA rules are unforgiving.
- ▸ You need to show staff have been briefed, not just told to "be careful".
Why now
Learner data is sensitive, audits are routine, AO and EPA rules treat AI misuse as malpractice, and the EU AI Act adds AI-literacy expectations if you serve learners in the EU. A documented, sensible position is cheap insurance.
A system, not a template
Anyone can sell you a policy document. This is a coherent system where the pieces reference each other, built around the bodies and risks that are specific to training providers. Seven core documents are rewritten for your world; the rest of the toolkit comes with it.
Specialised for training providers
The full policy, with learner data, assessment integrity, safeguarding and inspection built in.
The AO and EPA marking bright line, JCQ-aligned learner declarations, AI-detection cautions, and a structured professional-discussion process for suspected misuse.

What makes this edition worth it
- ★ Written to the bodies that actually hold you to account: JCQ, Ofsted, the ESFA and your Awarding Organisations.
- ★ Tackles the assessment-integrity bright line head on, not just a data-protection clause bolted onto a generic policy.
- ★ The risk register and tools shortlist are working spreadsheets built from real provider scenarios, not screenshots.
Common questions
- Is this legal advice?
- No. It is a practical, professionally written starting point, not legal advice and not a substitute for it. Every document says so, and we point you to professional advice where it is warranted.
- Can I edit everything?
- Yes. You get editable Word and Excel files alongside polished PDFs. The risk register and tools shortlist are working spreadsheets, not screenshots. Fill in the placeholders, delete what you do not need, and make it yours.
- How is this different from the general pack?
- You get the complete core system, and seven of its documents are rewritten specifically for training providers, with the examples, terminology and risks that matter to you. It is the difference between a generic policy and one that already speaks your language.
- How long does it take to adopt?
- About 30 minutes to a defensible baseline: complete the policy, fill in the approved-tools matrix, and circulate the one-page staff guide. The rest builds on that as you go.
