3. Your DSL knows how to respond to a report of an AI-generated or altered image of a pupil.

4. This year's filtering and monitoring review included AI tools.

5. Pupils are taught that chatbots aren't real friends, and who to tell if something feels wrong.

6. Parents have been given guidance about AI at home.

7. Staff know the school's position on using AI tools with pupil data.
