Credibility

Independent training, clear boundaries

AssureAI is a public-sector-focused training provider, not a software reseller or legal adviser. The training is designed to help teams understand AI, practise safer workflows and know when to escalate decisions for policy, legal, data protection or information governance review.

Boundaries are part of the offer

  • Replace legal, data protection or information governance advice.
  • Approve high-risk AI systems, procurement decisions or live service deployments.
  • Ask staff to use sensitive, personal or confidential information in public AI tools.

Independent training provider

AssureAI is focused on practical AI training and adoption support. It is not a software reseller, public-body representative or legal adviser.

Plain-English delivery

Sessions are designed for non-technical staff, managers and operational teams who need usable guidance rather than abstract AI theory.

Governance-aware approach

Training connects day-to-day AI use with data boundaries, human review, escalation routes and manager oversight.

Practical workshop materials

Where relevant, sessions use checklists, templates, exercises and action plans based on anonymised or synthetic examples.

The challenge

AI adoption is already happening. The question is whether it is being used safely.

Public-sector teams are under pressure to reduce admin, improve response times and make better use of limited resources. AI can help, but unmanaged use creates risks around personal data, information governance, bias, accuracy, transparency and public trust.

Staff are experimenting without clear rules

Teams may already be using public AI tools without knowing what data is safe to enter.

Managers need confidence

Leaders need to understand risk, oversight and appropriate use before scaling adoption.

Policies alone are not enough

Staff need practical training, examples and repeatable workflows, not just a document on the intranet.

Public-sector relevance

Designed for councils, local authorities and public-sector organisations

AssureAI training is built around the realities of public service: resident data, information governance, FOI, equality duties, constrained resources, auditability and the need for human judgement.

FAQ

Common questions

View courses
Is this technical training?

No. Most sessions are designed for non-technical staff, managers and operational teams. Technical detail can be added for digital or data teams.

Can training be tailored to our council or department?

Yes. Workshops can be adapted for housing, planning, finance, HR, customer service, transformation, governance or leadership teams.

Do you train staff on ChatGPT, Copilot or general AI use?

All three options are possible. The emphasis is on safe, practical use rather than one tool only.

Can staff use real council data during training?

No sensitive, personal or confidential data should be used in public AI tools during training. Exercises should use anonymised or synthetic examples.
