This interactive one-hour session introduces AI as a supportive tool for simplifying basic administrative tasks.

Together, we will explore what AI is, look at practical ways it can help with creating content for newsletters, posters and marketing materials, and reflect on how to maintain privacy, ethics and safety for our service community.

Overview

What you'll learn

How can AI make your everyday work easier, without compromising safety, ethics or quality?

This practical, interactive 1-hour session is designed to help early childhood leaders take confident first steps with AI. Explore simple ways to streamline administrative tasks like newsletters, communications and resource creation, while maintaining a strong focus on privacy, child safety and professional responsibility. A strong emphasis is placed on child paramountcy, ensuring all use of AI is considered through the lens of children’s safety, rights and wellbeing.

Through real examples, guided activities and reflective discussion, you will build the confidence to use AI as a supportive tool in your service, not a replacement for your professional judgement.

Participants will have the opportunity to:

  • Identify how AI can support simple administrative tasks,
  • Apply safe and ethical practices when using AI, with a focus on privacy and keeping the service community safe, and
  • Use a critical lens to review AI-generated outputs, ensuring accuracy, appropriateness and professionalism.

Who should attend

Leaders who are looking for ways to increase productivity and reduce admin in an ethical way.
