Appearances:

Day 1 @ 15:00

From policy to culture, powered by intelligence

Understand how AI is changing compliance software from static record-keeping to proactive decision support.
Explore practical examples of AI helping schools manage policy updates, regulatory obligations, and safeguarding decisions.
Learn how intelligent compliance tools can strengthen accountability while reducing administrative burden on staff.
Consider what it takes to move from compliance as a checklist exercise to a genuine culture of compliance.

As schools face growing regulatory complexity, AI is reshaping compliance from a reactive, audit-focused function into a practical, people-centred capability. In this session, David Griffiths, Regional President at Ideagen, explores how intelligent compliance tools can help schools keep policies current, interpret obligations more effectively, and support staff with real-time decision-making—particularly in high-stakes areas such as safeguarding. Drawing on Ideagen’s Policy to Culture approach, he examines how AI can help bridge the gap between documented compliance and day-to-day practice.
