England’s Department for Education opened a consultation on November 10 on a proposed safety certification scheme for educational technology and artificial intelligence products used in schools and other education settings in England.

The department is asking how certification could help educators make safer choices and ease the burden on education providers. It is also seeking views on how suppliers could demonstrate that their products meet safety standards without facing disproportionate requirements. The scheme is at the consultation stage.
