⚠️ HONEST DISCLAIMERThese are editable templates based on publicly available Acas/ICO/CIPD guidance and UK statute. They are NOT legal advice or certified compliance documents. Adapt to your specific employer obligations, employment contracts, sector and headcount. Where AI shortlisting or monitoring is high-risk (large workforce, regulated sector, vulnerable workers, indirect-discrimination exposure), have a qualified UK employment-law solicitor review before deployment. The seller accepts no liability.
📌 WHY THIS MATTERS NOWThe ICO's monitoring at work guidance (October 2023) is clear: employers must give staff written notice before deploying any AI monitoring tool. EU AI Act high-risk obligations phase in from August 2026 for UK businesses with EU operations. AI shortlisting carries Equality Act indirect-discrimination risk that can land in an employment tribunal. A written policy is your first line of defence — and most SMEs don't have one.
🇬🇧 BUILT FOR UK EMPLOYERSPlain English. UK-specific law (Acas, ICO, Equality Act 2010, UK GDPR, DUAA 2025). No US legal jargon. Sources cited.
