Family AI and screen-time plan

Rules that everyone wrote together get followed. Fill this in with your child rather than for them, agree it out loud, and put it somewhere visible. Review it once a term — what is reasonable at eleven is not what is reasonable at fifteen.

For: Parents, carers and children using AI assistants at home

Free, no sign-up, prints on one sheet of A4.

How to use it

  1. 1Agree each line together and write it in the child's own words where you can.
  2. 2Be specific about homework: which subjects allow AI help, and what “your own work” means.
  3. 3List the information that never goes into a chat: full name, school, address, photos, anything about other people.
  4. 4Name the adult to tell, and make clear nobody gets in trouble for reporting something.
  5. 5Set a review date on the plan itself.

Worth knowing

  • Assistants on this site tell you they are AI and can be wrong — check anything that matters.
  • If a child is at risk of harm, contact the school's designated safeguarding lead or the police; an AI assistant is never the escalation route.
  • Keeping the agreement short makes it likelier to be kept.
