FREE Filtering, Monitoring and Generative AI Review Checklist 2026/27

The free Filtering, Monitoring and Generative AI Review Checklist 2026/27 is a three-page checklist for your filtering and monitoring review, now that the DfE standard expects schools to think about generative AI. It is checked against the DfE filtering and monitoring standard (updated 16 September 2026) and the Generative AI product safety standards (updated 19 January 2026).

Use it for your yearly review, and again whenever a new AI tool comes into school, with SLT, the DSL, IT support and the responsible governor.

What's inside

• Named roles, with what the standard asks of each person
• Questions to send your IT provider about AI chatbots and AI features in apps you already use
• A log of the generative AI tools in use across the school
• Supplier questions based on the product safety standards
• A limitations and action plan

For the full review against all four standards, see our Filtering and Monitoring Standards Checklist 2026/27.
