In line with the DfE’s Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) statutory guidance, this document outlines responsibilities schools have regarding digital communications. It specifically addresses the emerging safeguarding risks posed by advancements in generative artificial intelligence (AI), detailing how public images of pupils and staff can be harvested to create ‘deepfakes’ for targeted harassment or organised exploitation.
This document, written by the School IT Team, is essential reading for school leaders, teachers, and any staff members responsible for managing or uploading content to public-facing school websites and social media platforms.
To access training exploring the use of AI in education, the risks it poses as well as a range of other training opportunities, please see the Northumberland ICT training guide for the coming academic year here.
