MINDARC

Learner safety

A calmer experience.
A careful introduction.

Learner safety belongs in the conversation from the start. A supportive learning approach is one part of that; a school also needs clear answers about supervision, data and the boundaries of the product.

The learning experience

Leave room
for another attempt.

A learner getting stuck needs a useful response. MindArc’s approach centres on scaffolded support, retries and confidence, so an error can become a point to work from.

Learning support sits alongside the adults responsible for the pupil. It should be introduced with the level of supervision and assistance that the school judges appropriate.

The school pilot’s published data approach

Clear boundaries
around pupil information.

School-held identities

The school assigns pupil codes and keeps the link to names. MindArc’s notice states it receives no pupil names, dates of birth or contact details.

Rule-based support

Lesson selection uses pupils’ answers and predefined rules. The product’s privacy notice states there is no AI in the app and pupil data is not used to train AI.

Separate research consent

The research strand requires consent. Pupils can use the app without joining the research, and findings are reported as group figures.

These are summaries of the published pilot privacy notice. Your school should review the full documentation before use.

Questions before use

Clarity is part
of care.

Before a trial, your school should have the information it needs to assess the proposed use of MindArc.

Data and privacy

What pupil information would be collected, who could access it, how would it be used, and how would it be deleted?

Support boundaries

What can the learning support respond to, what sits outside its scope, and when should an adult take over?

School oversight

Who supervises sessions, how are concerns raised, and what happens if a learner needs help beyond the maths?

Accessibility in practice

How will the experience work for the selected pupils and their assistive technology, devices and support needs?

Before learners begin

Agree the safeguards.
Then agree the setting.

This page sets out the discussion a school needs to have. It does not replace the product’s privacy information, safeguarding arrangements or your school’s own review.
