What this is — and is not. A worksheet, not a generator. It does not write the policy for you and it is not legal advice. It sets out the fourteen sections of the Living AI Policy and what each one must decide, so the first draft your working group writes has the right shape. That draft then goes to your own legal counsel.

The 14 Sections of the Living AI Policy

The same sections, in the same order, as the policy a Review drafts — so a worksheet started here carries straight into it.

SECTION 1

Purpose & Scope

Who and what the policy covers — staff, students, contractors, every AI tool including features inside platforms you already use — and how often it is reviewed.

SECTION 2

Definitions

AI, generative AI, AI feature, student data, policy owner, governance panel, and the terms your own law uses.

SECTION 3

AI Tools Currently in Use

The inventory: every tool, who uses it, and with what data. The Exposure Scan finds the ones nobody declared.

SECTION 4

Permitted Uses

What staff and students may do, by role and grade band, without asking first.

SECTION 5

Restricted & Prohibited Uses

What needs approval before use, and what is never allowed — and why.

SECTION 6

Student Data & Privacy

Which data goes to which tool, under which law, and what parents can see, correct or refuse.

SECTION 7

Safeguarding & Child Protection

How an AI-related safeguarding concern is reported, and who handles it.

SECTION 8

AI Tool Approval Process

The steps a new tool goes through before anyone uses it with students. The vendor matrix helps compare candidates.

SECTION 9

Roles & Responsibilities

Policy owner, panel, head of school, staff: who decides what, and who answers for it.

SECTION 10

Incident Response

How incidents are classified, who is told and when, and the regulator deadlines that apply to you. See the incident response tool.

SECTION 11

Governing Legal Framework

The laws that apply — for example Ley 1581 de 2012 in Colombia, FERPA and COPPA in the United States, the GDPR in Spain.

SECTION 12

Policy Review & Version Control

Review cadence, what triggers an early review, and the version history.

SECTION 13

Academic Integrity & AI-Detection Tools

How students declare AI use in each assignment, and why a detector score is never evidence on its own.

SECTION 14

Equity & Access

No required tool the school does not provide; accessibility and home languages checked before approval.

Three Levels of Use

Sections 4 and 5 sort every use into one of three levels. The criteria below are a starting point for your working group, not a legal test.

Permitted

  • Approved through Section 8
  • Data agreement signed with the vendor
  • Age-appropriate for the grade band
  • Staff using it have been trained

Restricted — approval first

  • Approval by the panel before each new use
  • Parent notice or consent where your law requires it
  • Piloted before wider use
  • Reviewed at a date set when approved

Prohibited

  • Sells or reuses student data
  • No data agreement the school can enforce
  • Not suitable for the students’ age
  • Does the assessed work for the student
