In fact, almost 50% of school monitoring and filtering services now cannot recognise harmful content from gen AI, and some services make it possible to turn off the filters for illegal content when that should be prohibited, not a question of choice. I have raised this with Ministers, but in spite of my entreaties—and those of Judy and Andy Thomas, whose daughter Frankie took her own life after accessing pro-suicide content on a school iPad because the filter was not on—the department continues to stonewall. A code that covered all edtech would give safeguarding teams confidence in the products they buy and the protocols to use them.
