Safeguarding & Compliance

Safeguarding & Compliance
by Design

Tandem is built for UK classrooms first β€” with safeguarding, data protection, and compliance embedded at every level.

This is not a general-purpose AI tool adapted for schools.
It is a teacher-built learning platform designed around UK safeguarding expectations from day one.

Safeguarding-First AI

Tandem uses AI responsibly and transparently, with safeguards that protect both students and staff.

  • No open-ended, unsupervised AI chat
  • Curriculum-aligned responses only
  • No hallucinated content or unsafe advice
  • Clear boundaries between guidance and answers
  • Teacher-controlled access and visibility

Student Safety & Appropriate Use

Designed to support safe, age-appropriate use in school environments.

  • No social features
  • No peer-to-peer messaging
  • No public profiles
  • No external content surfacing
  • No advertising or third-party tracking

GDPR & Data Protection

Fully aligned with UK GDPR principles and data protection standards.

  • Minimal data collection
  • No sale or sharing of student data
  • Secure authentication and role-based access
  • Clear separation of student and staff accounts
  • Data used solely to support learning and progress insights

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Strict role-based permissions ensure appropriate oversight at every level.

  • Students: access learning content only
  • Teachers: manage classes, view progress, control AI support
  • Admins / SLT: oversee usage, compliance, and reporting
  • Guardians: view linked child progress only
  • Clear audit trails for all actions

Built by a Teacher

Built by a Teacher, Not a Tech Company

β€œTandem was created by a full-time UK teacher who understands the reality of safeguarding, workload, and accountability in schools. Every design decision reflects classroom experience β€” not corporate theory.”

After years of juggling planning, marking, safeguarding, and admin, I built the platform I wished existed: adaptive, compliant, and genuinely teacher-first.
