Ethical AI Consultancy & Training
Making AI safe to use in social care
Governance, training, and compliance support for organisations across England and the UK. Built by a social worker, not a software company.
TESSA Tools is an ethical AI consultancy built specifically for social care across England and the UK. We work with people at every level who use AI: practitioners, managers, and governance leads.
We build the Responsible AI Framework for your organisation: the policies, safeguards, and accountability structures that regulators want to see. Not a template. A working system shaped around your service.
Hands-on, scenario-based sessions that give your team the skills to spot errors, structure defensible prompts, and maintain professional authorship. Not a webinar. Practical training they can apply the same day.
Every organisation is different. We design packages that combine consultancy, training, and ongoing support, scaled to your team size, risk profile, and regulatory environment.
New regulations are here and inspectors expect to see governance in place. We give you the training, policies, and accountability structures to get there confidently.
Straightforward yes / no questions. No technical knowledge needed.

I'm Nadia, an Independent Social Worker and Professional Doctorate Researcher at Nottingham Trent University. I've carried a statutory caseload while using AI in practice. That frontline experience is why TESSA exists: to give social care teams the governance, training, and confidence to use AI well.
We work with councils, universities, care providers, and voluntary organisations across England and the UK.
