Signatory to the Oxford Project responsible-AI pledge for social care suppliers (Digital Care Hub).
"This was an eye opener about how AI works. It really helped me get to grips with the complexity of these systems and how they interact with practitioners. I think they had the right move training and setting up the governance before handing out the tool."
"TESSA Tools helped me build confidence in writing assessments that are clear, person-centred, and legally sound. The prompting structure provides a reliable framework to quality assure assessments through prompting. This has saved me time to focus on other things like supervision."
"My eyes have been opened to the vast possibilities. From streamlining workflows to enhancing decision-making, I now feel confident and empowered to integrate AI into my work. A fantastic resource and a great teacher."

CQC, Ofsted and the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 have raised the bar. Here is what each one expects, in plain English.
Legal compliance for AI in social care means having an AI policy, a Data Protection Impact Assessment for any AI tool that touches personal data, and meaningful human involvement whenever AI contributes to a significant decision. Under the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 and UK GDPR, you also need a clear lawful basis for processing and a documented retention policy.
Read the full FAQ →Inspectors want to see human oversight of AI outputs, an error reporting route, clear boundaries on appropriate use, and named governance leads accountable for AI in the organisation. For CQC and Ofsted this sits inside well-led and effective domains. You should be able to show how AI is supervised, where it is restricted, and how staff report when it gets things wrong.
Read the full FAQ →Workforce readiness means staff are trained to use AI safely, managers are confident having regulatory conversations about it, and the organisation has an ongoing review process as the AI landscape evolves. Practically, that is CPD-aligned training for practitioners, governance briefings for managers, and a culture that questions AI outputs rather than rubber-stamping them.
Read the full FAQ →From August, the EU AI Act enforces mandatory AI literacy across all organisations deploying AI. Employers are legally required to ensure their staff (and anyone operating on their behalf) understand AI systems, their capabilities, and their risks. While the UK is not bound directly, any organisation with EU operations, EU data subjects, EU-based partners or shared services falls within scope. Most UK social care providers should treat AI literacy as a near-term obligation, not a future ambition.
