Iris
Pastoral Wellbeing AI with Crisis Detection
Always available AI pastoral support with crisis detection, a GDPR consent gate, KCSIE aligned safeguarding escalation, and usage limits that keep human practitioners at the centre. Complete audit trails throughout. Bundled within the Full Ecosystem Enterprise Licence only.
Why Bundled, Not Standalone
Pastoral AI creates safeguarding liability without character development context. Iris operates within the Full Ecosystem Enterprise Licence because effective wellbeing support requires integration with ARETE Framework⢠learning, Zeus portfolio evidence, and practitioner oversight.
Standalone deployment would disconnect crisis detection from character capability development and remove essential practitioner supervision infrastructure.
Platform Capabilities
Crisis Detection & Escalation
AI analysis flags self harm indicators, safeguarding concerns and mental health crisis signals, with immediate signposting to support services and escalation routes to the designated safeguarding lead.
GDPR Consent Gate
Explicit consent required before first session. Clear data usage explanation. Withdrawal option available. Complete audit trail of consent decisions.
KCSIE Aligned Safeguarding
Designed in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education expectations. Designated safeguarding lead notification protocols. Appropriate information sharing with authorised staff only.
Usage Limits by Design
Daily message caps and session timers, enforced at database level. Prevents over reliance on AI support and encourages human practitioner engagement when deeper intervention is required.
Audit-First Logging
Safeguarding concerns, mood check-ins and escalations logged to the database as they happen. The record is immutable by design: learners cannot edit or delete the safeguarding log.
Active Listening, Not Counselling
Iris reflects back, validates feelings and asks one open question at a time, letting the learner set the pace. It deliberately does not attempt regulated counselling: humans do that.
Available Within the Full Ecosystem Licence Only
Iris requires character development context and practitioner oversight infrastructure for safe deployment.
