What We Do
Ethical AI Training and Consultancy for Social Care
We train your staff, build your policies, and give you the tools to use AI safely and confidently. Every package is tailored to your organisation.
Whether you need training for 10 practitioners or a full governance overhaul for 300 staff, we build a package around what your organisation actually needs. Every engagement starts with a conversation, not a product catalogue.
PCF-aligned. Built around the TESSA Framework.
Interactive, scenario-based sessions that teach your staff to prompt safely, read AI output critically, and maintain professional authorship. Not a lecture about what AI is. A practical workshop about how to use it without putting anyone at risk.
Your frontline staff need training, but so do the people making decisions about AI adoption. These sessions cover strategic risk, accountability structures, regulatory expectations, and how to oversee AI use without needing to become technical experts.
We build the paperwork that regulators want to see. Organisational AI policies, data protection impact assessments, standard operating procedures, and forensic audits of how AI is actually being used across your teams right now. Everything is written in plain English and aligned to CQC, Ofsted, and UK GDPR requirements.
Custom prompt libraries built for your service area. Whether your team works in adults, children's, fostering, adoption, or residential care, each prompt is structured around relevant legislative requirements, legally reviewed, and designed so staff can start using AI safely without needing to learn prompt engineering first.
We work with budgets from small voluntary organisations to large local authorities.
Every package is scoped to what you need. Start with a conversation.
Book a CallNo two organisations are the same. That is why every package starts with a conversation about what you actually need.
A free, no-obligation conversation about where your organisation is with AI, what your concerns are, and what you actually need.
Based on what you tell us, we put together a tailored package. Training, policy, prompts, governance, or a combination. You see exactly what you are getting before you commit.
We deliver on-site or remotely, provide all materials and documentation, and include follow-up support so your team is not left on their own once the session ends.
We work exclusively in social care. That focus means we understand the regulation, the workforce pressures, and the language your teams actually use.
Adults and children's services, ASYE programmes, workforce development teams, and commissioning leads.
Fostering agencies, residential care, domiciliary care, and supported living services preparing for CQC or Ofsted.
Charities, housing associations, and third-sector organisations supporting vulnerable people who want to use AI responsibly.
Frontline practitioner training runs as a half-day or full-day session depending on your team's needs. Leadership sessions are typically half a day. All sessions are interactive and built around real scenarios, not slides and lectures.
Yes. All TESSA Tools training counts towards your CPD hours and is aligned to the Professional Capabilities Framework. Complete your CPD on your training day instead of scrambling to fit it in before your Social Work England deadline.
All three. TESSA Tools works with local authorities, independent fostering agencies, residential providers, and voluntary sector organisations across England and the UK. Every package is tailored to the organisation's size, structure, and regulatory context.
A typical package includes an organisational AI policy, data protection impact assessment, standard operating procedures for AI use, and a forensic audit of how AI is currently being used across the organisation. Everything is aligned to CQC or Ofsted requirements and UK GDPR.
Yes. Safe-Start Prompt Libraries are built specifically for your service area, whether that is adults, children's, fostering, adoption, or residential care. Each prompt is legally checked, aligned to relevant legislation for your sector, and designed so staff can use it from day one without needing to learn prompt engineering.
“TESSA Tools brings a level of structure and ethical reflection that fits perfectly with AMHP practice. It helps me check reasoning, tone, and language when writing complex assessments without ever removing professional judgement.”
Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP)“TESSA Tools helped me build confidence in writing assessments that are clear, person-centred, and legally sound. The prompting structure provides a reliable framework to quality assure assessments. This has saved me time to focus on other things like supervision.”
Team Manager“Nadia explains AI in a practitioner-friendly way that enables me to apply my own voice and maintain a human tone. Her approach to ethical practice is evident in how she links professional reasoning to prompt design.”
Practice Educator“My eyes have been opened to the vast possibilities. From streamlining workflows to enhancing decision-making, I now feel confident and empowered to integrate AI into my work. A fantastic resource and a great teacher.”
Social WorkerHow a Midlands fostering agency with 153 staff integrated Microsoft Copilot safely, with bespoke governance, sector-specific training, and measurable results.
“This was an eye opener about how AI works. It really helped me get to grips with the complexity of these systems and how they interact with practitioners. I think they had the right move training and setting up the governance before handing out the tool.”
