AI safety & compliance

Aligned with the Department of Education and Youth’s AI guidance for schools

Teachmate is built to meet the Department’s Guidance on Artificial Intelligence in Schools (October 2025) and the EU AI Act. We were also assessed against the UK Department for Education’s AI product safety standards, which our leadership team helped develop. Here is how we meet each requirement that applies to a teacher-facing platform.

Privacy & data protection

Pupil data is never used to train AI models. We operate under GDPR and provide a full privacy notice, data processing agreement and DPIA guidance to support your school’s Acceptable Use Policy.

Security

Certified under Cyber Essentials, the UK government-backed security scheme, with TLS encryption in transit, AES-256 encryption at rest, and customer data processed and stored within the UK and EU.

Human oversight

AI never replaces the teacher’s judgement. School leaders can monitor adoption through aggregated usage insights, while individual teachers’ prompts and outputs remain private.

Intellectual property

Teachers retain ownership of everything they generate; content is not used for product training.

Design & testing

Every tool is tested by teachers and specialist user groups before release, with ongoing quality review, in line with the Department’s expectation that schools choose AI tools that are reliable and safe.

Independent challenge & assurance

External specialists in education, child safeguarding, data protection and governance meet several times a year to challenge and guide our work.

AI doing the heavy lifting and admin means time back for teachers.

Independent survey results from 1,846 Teachmate users. Not the solution to the recruitment and retention crisis on its own - but a meaningful part of it.

Frequently asked questions

Everything school leaders ask before signing up.

Is Teachmate designed for use in schools?

Yes. We built Teachmate specifically for education. Our commitments include GDPR compliance, alignment with Government AI safety standards and Cyber Essentials certification. Schools should still complete their own approval and risk-assessment process before rollout. Visit the Trust Centre.

How does a school manage staff licences?

After a school purchase is processed, the purchaser becomes the school group manager or they can appoint a manager. The management panel lets that person assign or reassign licences to staff email addresses.

What oversight does a school administrator receive?

Our school offering includes a management panel and information about product use and reported time saved, as well as top users. This gives leaders visibility of adoption. We will not provide individual teacher usage or tool data.

Which curricula does Teachmate support?

We provide curriculum-aligned tools for: Australia, Canada, England, Ireland, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Scotland, United States and Wales. As well as: Spanish, French, Italian, IGCSE, International Baccalaureate (IB), International A-Levels and International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC). The context collected by each tool can include curriculum, phase, subject and topic.

Does Teachmate support single sign-on?

Yes. School customers can use Google OpenID Connect or Microsoft Azure AD/OpenID Connect for single sign-on after a school administrator configures it. We receive an authentication token and user identifier, not the user's password.

Is a Data Processing Agreement available?

Yes. We publish our Data Processing Agreement, including processing instructions, security measures, retention information and the current sub-processor annex. Read the agreement.

Should teachers enter pupil names or other identifying information?

You do not need to enter identifiable pupil data to use our tools. Please minimise personal data and use nicknames or pseudonyms where context is needed. We also remind users not to include unnecessary identifiers. Please be reassured though that we do not use your data to train AI models. Customer data, including all user inputs, outputs, and feedback, is never used to train, fine tune, or otherwise incorporate into any large language model. No customer data is included in any model weights, training datasets, or fine tuning processes. This applies to all data entered into our tools, without exception. Read the data-protection guidance.

What training is available for school staff?

We provide live and recorded CPD webinars, product guidance and Certified Educator courses. Schools can discuss the training needed for their rollout with our team.
