A practical framework for trusted public sector deployment
With Claude rolling out across departments and nearly two-thirds of public bodies already deploying AI in some form, the shift is real. But transformation doesn’t start with technology, it starts with assurance.
Our new whitepaper sets out a practical path to responsible, risk-aware, and reputation-safe AI deployment, designed specifically for public sector teams navigating complexity, regulation and citizen trust.
✅ Clarity: Assess your AI readiness with our Bronze–Silver–Gold maturity model
✅ Confidence: Learn from real-world examples across councils, healthcare, policing, and benefits
✅ Control: Embed assurance, ethics, and compliance from day one
✅ Credibility: Peer insights from Police Scotland, Home Office, Transform, Mastek, and Advance QA
✅ Compliance: Aligned with the UK Government’s AI Assurance Playbook (February 2025)
“Transparency and ethics aren’t boxes to tick. They're how we earn permission to use AI in the first place.”
