The Parent Communication Pack
This pack helps your school plan how it talks to parents about AI: who owns the conversation, what to lead with, and when to send each piece. It includes three newsletter inserts, a parent FAQ, a 30-minute meeting agenda and briefing notes for leaders, ready to adapt with your school's details.

WITH 05
This pack helps a school explain its approach to AI to families, before the question arrives rather than after. Everything inside is written to be adapted and issued: fill the bracketed fields with your own detail, decide who owns the parent conversation, and lead with what parents most want to know.
Guidance current as of September 2026. Jurisdiction-neutral; confirm the specifics for your setting with your own regulator and data protection adviser before issuing.
