For principals and business managers
Transparency that proves itself
The Trust Centre is a public-facing page where parents and the wider community see your current policies, your controls, and your data and security posture, published straight from your governed library so nothing is ever out of date. When a parent asks is my child's school across this, the answer is a link, not a phone call.
The Trust Centre is a forthcoming EthosOne build. The governed policy library, parent-portal publishing and PolicyAI it draws on are live today; the public Trust Centre described here is coming.

You know this story
Parents ask, and someone goes hunting
A parent asks for the current child safety policy. Someone checks the website, then the shared drive, then emails the deputy. The PDF on the site may or may not match the binder, and nobody is quite sure which is current.
Transparency is a task, not a posture
Every request for a policy, a control, or how the school handles data becomes a small project. The school does the work, but proving it to the community is manual, and the public face of governance lags behind the real one.
Where the Trust Centre takes you
A public page on your own domain, published straight from your governed library, where parents and community see current policies, controls and security posture without anyone going hunting.
How the Trust Centre works
How the Trust Centre is designed to work once it ships.
- Step 1
Publish from source
Approved policies, controls and your data and security information publish to the Trust Centre straight from the governed EthosOne library, so the public view is always the board-endorsed version.
- Step 2
Connect your domain
Point your own domain at the Trust Centre by CNAME, so it lives at your school's address and carries your brand, not a third-party URL.
- Step 3
Stay current automatically
When a policy is approved or updated, the public page updates with it, so there is never a stale attachment on the website to find and replace.

Questions schools ask about the Trust Centre
What is a school trust centre?
A school trust centre is a public-facing page where a school publishes its current policies, controls and data and security information so parents and the community can see how the school meets its obligations. EthosOne's Trust Centre, a forthcoming build, publishes straight from your governed policy library so the public view is always current, and lets you connect your own domain by CNAME.
Is the Trust Centre available today?
Not yet. The Trust Centre is a forthcoming EthosOne build. The governed policy library, parent-portal publishing and PolicyAI it draws on are live today, so the foundation is already in place; the public Trust Centre page described here is on the roadmap.
Will it run on our own domain?
Yes. The Trust Centre is designed to connect to your own domain by CNAME, so it lives at your school's address and carries your brand rather than a third-party URL.
How does it stay current?
The Trust Centre publishes from your governed library, so when a policy is approved or updated the public page updates with it. There is no separate upload step and no stale PDF on the website to chase.
