Governance & assurance

Responsible AI, without box-ticking.

Practical support for leaders who need to assess AI suppliers, set workable guardrails and keep human accountability visible.

Responsible AI is not a badge a supplier can hand over. It is the organisation’s ongoing ability to understand how a system is used, who is responsible, what can go wrong and how an affected person can challenge an outcome.

Focus areas

  • AI supplier questions: purpose, evidence, data, security, limitations and exit options.
  • Proportionate policies for staff use, confidential information and approval.
  • Clear human accountability for significant decisions.
  • Governance, reporting and incident-review arrangements that work in practice.

The outcome

A clearer basis for procurement and oversight—one that helps teams move with confidence while remaining honest about uncertainty and risk.
