Safeguarding Lead — Local AI Usage Guide

Child Protection, Incident Management & Regulatory Compliance

NAS Jiaxing | Updated: 2026-06-19

⚠️ The Danger: How Safeguarding Currently Uses Cloud AI

Real Incident (Names Changed)

A Safeguarding Lead used a cloud AI tool to summarize a complex child protection case. The document contained:

  • Child's full name and date of birth
  • Detailed abuse allegations
  • Family history and social services involvement
  • Medical and psychological reports
  • Police reference numbers

Result: Highly sensitive child protection data processed on US servers. Criminal breach of safeguarding obligations. Potential regulatory action.
