I built TESSA Tools because:

Generic AI training was not ethical or built for social work. Every study reaches the same conclusion: AI training in social care is missing. Not one piece of research found a team that says "we've got training sorted." Meanwhile, AI is moving faster every month, regulators are sharpening expectations, and the workforce is left guessing. So I built TESSA. For councils, fostering agencies, residential providers and voluntary sector teams in England and the UK.

The people behind TESSA.

Back to the team

Practitioner-led


Everything we build comes from frontline experience.

We've carried caseloads, written assessments, and used AI under pressure.

That is why our training works.

Human judgement first, always


AI should support professional reasoning, not replace it.

Every tool, framework and training session we design puts the practitioner in control.

Research-backed


Nadia's Professional Doctorate research at Nottingham Trent University directly informs our frameworks, training and governance tools.

We stay close to the evidence so your organisation does not have to.

Plain English


No jargon, no upselling, no unnecessary complexity.

We explain what AI does, what the risks are, and what you need to do about it. Clearly.

Thirty minutes. No pitch. Just an honest look at where your team sits with AI and what would help.
