Teaching
Lesson support, resource preparation and feedback drafting.
Leadership
Data questions, reports, summaries and evidence preparation.
Communication
Draft messages for parents, carers, learners and staff.
SEND
Help organise authorised information and prepare working drafts.
Reviews
Summarise selected evidence and prepare review material.
Meetings
Draft agendas, questions, summaries and follow-up communication.
School Improvement
Help organise evidence, policies and working reports.
Workforce
Support appropriate staff-development and administrative drafting. The AI should work with the user’s permitted context. It should not become a separate unrestricted copy of the school record.
User
Who is asking?
School
Which organisation are they working within?
Learner
Which learner, if any, is in scope?
Role
What responsibility does the user hold?
Relationship
Why does that person have access to this learner?
Information Domain
Is the relevant information teaching, SEND, safeguarding, medical, HR or another restricted area?
Purpose
Why is the information being used?
Permission
Is the user authorised to access it? EdiWay AI is designed to inherit access boundaries rather than bypass them. A teacher using AI should not automatically gain access to information that the teacher could not otherwise view.
Find Information
Help locate relevant permitted records or resources.
Summarise
Prepare a working summary from selected information.
Explain
Make complex school-held information easier to review.
Organise
Bring relevant points together for a meeting or task.
Compare
Help structure permitted factual information for human interpretation.
Prepare
Create a working starting point for further action. AI answers should support investigation. They should not replace checking the underlying records where accuracy matters.
Lesson Support
Help prepare working lesson content.
Resource Ideas
Suggest or organise teaching-resource material.
Assignment Drafts
Help structure learner tasks.
Feedback Drafting
Prepare feedback for teacher review.
Classroom Summaries
Organise selected information relevant to teaching.

Use appropriate class or lesson information where enabled.
Differentiation Ideas
Suggest possible ways to adapt material for teacher consideration.
Learning Activities
Generate working activity ideas.

Prepare clear working drafts.
Learner Communication
Help make information age-appropriate.
Staff Updates
Structure internal communication.
Meeting Invitations
Draft preparation information.

Learner Summaries
Organise selected permitted information.
Review Summaries
Bring relevant evidence together.
Leadership Reports
Prepare narrative around approved information.
Meeting Summaries
Structure the important points from authorised material.
Evidence Summaries
Help organise selected records.
Parent-Facing Explanations

Organise selected learner information.
Review Preparation
Prepare working summaries for human review.
Support Ideas
Suggest possible strategies for professional consideration.
Intervention Ideas
Suggest possible support approaches.
EHC Plan Drafting Support
Help structure school-held working material.
Learner Profiles

Feedback Drafts
Prepare possible feedback.
Evidence Summaries
Organise selected learner evidence.
Progress Narratives
Draft working explanations.
Next-Step Ideas
Suggest areas a teacher may wish to consider.
Report Writing
Help structure approved assessment information. The assessment record remains human-led.
EdiWay AI does not automatically decide:
- Whether an objective has been achieved
- A learner's final academic judgement
- A grade
- A qualification result
- A statutory assessment outcome
- The learner's future pathway
- Label a learner as high risk
- Decide a sanction
- Determine detention, suspension or exclusion
- Diagnose SEND from behaviour
- Infer trauma or mental-health conditions
- Make a safeguarding finding
- Treat a statistical pattern as proof of cause
Behaviour remains a professional, contextual and human-led workflow.
- Decide that a learner is being abused or neglected
- Decide that a learner is being abused or neglected
- Determine that a communication proves safeguarding risk
- Generate an autonomous safeguarding classification
- Decide whether a referral should be made
- Replace DSL review
- Decide protective action
- Make statutory safeguarding findings
- Provide unrestricted AI access to safeguarding records
Safeguarding concerns belong within the dedicated safeguarding workflow.

Evidence Organisation
Help identify relevant permitted records.
Compliance Summaries
Organise recorded information.
Inspection Preparation
Help structure evidence already held by the school.

Suggest possible areas for professional development.
CPD Suggestions
Help staff consider appropriate learning opportunities.
Objective Drafts
Prepare possible objectives for human agreement.
Review Summaries
Help organise selected appraisal evidence.

- Performance ratings
- Whether objectives were achieved
- Promotion
- Pay
- Probation outcomes
- Capability or disciplinary outcomes
- Statutory induction outcomes
- Professional competence
Generate
AI prepares a working output.
Review
An authorised person checks it.
Edit
The user corrects or changes what is needed.
Verify
Important source information is checked.
Approve
The authorised human accepts the final content where the workflow requires it.
Use
The reviewed output continues into the appropriate school process. Generating something is not the same as approving it. EdiWay’s governance direction is designed to preserve that distinction.
Record Context
Which school or learner information was used?
Source Identity
Which available source informed the output?
Version
Which version of relevant information was available?
Generation
Which AI generation produced the draft?
Revision
What happened after generation?
Limitations
Was important evidence unavailable or incomplete?
Receipt
Can appropriate governance information about the generation be retained? Source-connected AI is an active area of product assurance. Not every EdiWay AI workflow should currently be assumed to expose a complete record-by-record source manifest.
Provider
Which AI service is being used?
Model
Which model release produced the output?
Prompt
Which governed instruction set applied?
Policy
What rules govern the workflow?
Evaluation
How is the behaviour reviewed?
Release
Which configuration is active?
Rollback
Can an inappropriate change be withdrawn?
Missing Evidence
Was relevant information unavailable?
Restricted Evidence
Was some information outside the user’s permission scope?
Source Limitations
Was the output based on only part of the relevant record?
Interpretation
Has the AI made an inference that needs checking?
Freshness
Is the underlying information current?
Human Context
Is there important context that exists outside the platform? AI confidence should never be treated as professional authority.
For example:
- A teacher should not be able to ask AI for restricted safeguarding details they cannot otherwise access.
- An external professional should not gain additional information merely because they are part of a collaboration workspace.
- A manager should not automatically gain access to confidential staff information outside their role.
- The user's existing authorised scope remains the starting point.
- Safeguarding findings
- SEND diagnosis
- EHC plan eligibility or statutory decisions
- EOTAS eligibility
- Clinical diagnosis or treatment
- Medication or prescribing
- Academic assessment outcomes
- Sanctions, suspensions or exclusions
- School compliance
- Legal obligations
- Inspection outcomes
- Learner placements
- Alternative provision selection
- Employment decisions
- Pay or promotion
- Probation
- Capability or disciplinary outcomes
- Professional competence

8. Edit
Record the relevant outcome or follow-up.
9. Make the Human Decision
Keep consequential judgement outside the AI.
10. Preserve Appropriate Governance
Retain relevant generation, revision or audit context where the workflow supports it.
