Bridging the gap between digital technologies and human safety

Digital Governance (Advisory)

Building the strategic framework for online safety

I help leadership teams translate duty of care into practice. I support the development of internal governance frameworks to ensure your organisation manages specific online safety liabilities and regulatory requirements.

  • AI Safety Frameworks: Reviewing internal risk matrices and control frameworks to ensure they effectively cover online safety protocols and user protection measures.

  • Policy & Culture Review: Auditing and redrafting internal digital safety policies to ensure they align with the latest regulatory and societal standards.

  • Duty of Care Frameworks: Helping organisations identify where digital adoption creates new liabilities, establishing decision-making structures to protect users and staff.

Safety Assurance (Auditing)

Independent verification of compliance

I provide rigorous auditing to ensure your digital tools and systems are safe, compliant, and fit for purpose. I act as a critical friend to verify that your safety provision matches your statutory obligations.

  • Statutory Safety Audits (Education): Conducting deep-dive reviews for Multi-Academy Trusts and schools against KCSIE and DfE statutory standards.

  • Governance Gap Analysis: Leading risk reviews for large-scale programmes (e.g. national device rollouts) to identify blind spots in user safety, device governance, and exit strategies.

  • Procurement Assurance: Providing independent oversight on the selection of digital tools. This includes using AI selection frameworks to help educators and procurement teams assess if a tool is appropriate and safe before purchase.

Strategic Insight (Product Safety)

Evidence-based evaluation of the human impact of technology

Grounded in my ongoing mandate to audit 100+ apps annually for a national parenting resource, I help the private sector and consultancies navigate the reality of digital safety risk.

  • Product Safety Reviews (Safety by Design): Conducting human impact assessments for private sector or safety tech organisations. I evaluate proposed apps or platforms to identify conduct and content risks prior to deployment.

  • Impact Evaluation: Designing frameworks to measure the real-world effectiveness of online safety interventions and projects.

  • Workforce Capacity Building: Delivering strategic training and keynotes (e.g. AI Utility vs Risk) to upskill teams on the changing digital safety landscape.
