Role at Teachmate
Archibald says she was impressed with Teachmate's focus on compliance and user trust when she first engaged with the company. She comments, "I am delighted to be appointed to the Teachmate AI advisory panel. From the moment I met with the team, I was impressed with their genuine passion for the service they provide to teachers and schools. What particularly impressed me was their commitment to developing simple-to-use tools that ensure people's data is treated exactly as you would want your own data to be treated, with the utmost care and respect."
She adds that she had already worked with Teachmate to support schools carrying out Data Protection Impact Assessments and due diligence checks, concluding, "I am now looking forward to developing our relationship further and continuing to support Teachmate as they help educators across the UK reduce their workload whilst maintaining the highest standards of data protection and privacy."
