INSTITUTIONAL PILOTS

Test the response system in a controlled environment.

The pilot pathway is for institutions that want to evaluate TSA with a defined staff group, agreed scenarios and clear governance boundaries before wider adoption.

WHAT A PILOT IS FOR

Prove usefulness before scaling.

SCOPE

Defined users & situations

Agree which staff participate, which response categories are in scope and what remains outside the pilot.

ALIGNMENT

Policy & authority mapping

Map the institution’s Code, delegated authority and escalation routes so TSA guidance reflects the environment in which staff actually work.

LEARNING

Feedback & implementation review

Collect structured feedback on clarity, usability, response consistency and the quality of incident handoffs before deciding what comes next.

PILOT PRINCIPLES

Controlled, transparent and proportionate.

  • Clear pilot purpose, participants and duration.
  • No assumption that TSA replaces formal school systems or decision-makers.
  • Data use and access agreed before live institutional information is entered.
  • Staff know what the platform can and cannot authorise.
  • Expansion only after the pilot is reviewed.
