Welcome to 2023, a year in which "ChatGPT" has entered
the vocabulary of school leaders and teachers. Many of them have
already written a great deal, sometimes with the help of ChatGPT
itself, about the possibilities and challenges artificial
intelligence programs bring to education. With some trepidation, we
seek in this issue of the Notes to address the legal risks
associated with their use.
Our second article considers how school leaders respond to
allegations of sexual abuse when this involves balancing
obligations of confidentiality and privacy, defamation, the duty of
care and more with a public relations strategy.
Our third article examines the recent changes to theSex
Discrimination Act 1984 which have placed a new
positive duty on schools to take 'reasonable and
proportionate' measures to eliminate hostile workplace
environments, including sexual harassment and gender-based
discrimination.
