Twelve AI risks on your register before the board asks.
AI Risk Register Template for Schools, free for independent schools.
Twelve AI risks a school already carries, pre-filled from what regulators actually asked for between 24 August and 7 September 2026. Each row names the risk, the trigger that put it on the list, the document it lives in and the sentence that document should contain. Four columns are left blank because only your school can answer them: is the control in place, what happens if there is a gap, who owns it and when it is reviewed.
Three files in one zip: AI-Risk-Register.xlsx, the working document with a worked example beside your own; How-to-use-the-AI-Risk-Register.pdf, four pages that take a leadership team through it in one sitting; and What-next-EthosOne-Risk-Management.pdf, four pages on what the same work looks like when it runs live in EthosOne.
Twelve AI risks on your register before the board asks.
Free AI Risk Register for independent schools: AI-Risk-Register.xlsx with a worked example, a four-page How-to and the What-next brochure for EthosOne Risk Management. Twelve AI risks on your register before the board asks.

Get the free pack01Is the AI Risk Register free?
Yes. Tell us who you are and the link is emailed to you. No trial, no card, and the file is yours whether or not you ever talk to us.
02What format is it?
AI-Risk-Register.xlsx opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets and the two PDFs open anywhere. The worked example tab or appendix is finished and protected; your own is blank and editable.
03Do we need EthosOne to use it?
No. The pack works on its own, and the How-to is written for a school that runs it in a spreadsheet or a document. The What-next brochure and the six notes in the file say where the work strains and what the platform does at that point.
04Who is the worked example?
One invented Australian independent school, the same one across all eleven packs, with a consistent principal, business manager, chair and set of risks. Nothing in it is a real school.
05What happens after I download?
The thank-you page names the three files and the first thing worth doing today, and offers the Board-Ready Governance Review as the next step. One email, no sequence you did not ask for.
