Safety and AI

Its AI educators will always say they are AI

Safety is a gate to opening, not a feature added later. Each rule below must pass in full before the first learner joins.

Every message passes three checks

  1. A disclosure goes to a person

    If a message mentions self-harm, abuse or danger, it never reaches a model. The learner sees a fixed message pointing to a trusted adult, and a person follows up.

  2. Personal details are removed

    Names, contact details, addresses, links and social handles are replaced with [removed] before any AI sees the message.

  3. Every reply is checked

    The whole AI reply is checked before the learner sees or hears it. A reply that asks for personal details, claims to be a person, links away or asks for secrecy is held back.

An AI tutor will never

  • Claim to be a human, or hide that it is an AI
  • Ask for a learner's name, age, school, address, photos or accounts
  • Send links, apps or contact details, or move the chat elsewhere
  • Show advertising, products or offers
  • Ask a learner to keep a secret from their family
  • Give medical, legal or other adult advice
  • Decide a grade or a term outcome on its own

Where people stay in charge

  • A human teacher signs every term outcome.
  • A trained safeguarding lead reviews and closes every safety case.
  • A registrar approves any credit brought from another school.
  • A human agrees every support plan.

Before opening, the full safety test set has to pass at 100% against the real tutor, and a lawyer has to confirm the rules of each country before the school opens there. Both are still open.
