## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Education Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/education-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Green: AI drafts, lawyer checks |
| How AI is used | From the notices, incident reports, behaviour records and correspondence the lawyer uploads, build a dated timeline of each incident, each notice given to the family, each meeting and each decision, with a document index and page references, using initials for other students. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer checks each entry against its document, identifies which procedural step under the governing instrument each event satisfies or misses, and removes details of other students that are not needed. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: From the notices, incident reports, behaviour records and correspondence the lawyer uploads, build a dated timeline of each incident, each notice given to the family, each meeting and each decision, with a document index and page references, using initials for other students.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer checks each entry against its document, identifies which procedural step under the governing instrument each event satisfies or misses, and removes details of other students that are not needed.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Check each date and author against the source record.
2. Confirm the timeline shows when the family was told the allegations and when they were given a chance to respond.
3. Confirm other students are identified only by initials or role.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
