This explainer video walks school leaders through the entire process of creating an AI acceptable use policy, from initial drafting through to staff consultation and board approval.

Using the AIE policy template as a starting point, the video shows how to adapt each section to your school context, with practical examples for both primary and secondary settings.

Topics covered include defining acceptable and unacceptable uses of AI for staff and students, setting expectations around AI in homework and coursework, data protection considerations, and how to communicate the policy to parents and carers.

The video includes downloadable resources and a consultation checklist to support your implementation.
