About the AI in Education Youth Advisory Board AI has the potential to help teachers, support personalised learning, and improve outcomes, but it must be used safely and responsibly, and it must not replace the human relationships at the heart of education. The Department for Education has partnered with the Children’s Commissioner to launch a new advisory group of young people. This advisory group gives children and young people a direct say in the governments work on AI in Education. The Children’s Commissioner is looking for a group of up to 16 young people aged 16 to 18 from across England with a wide range of experience – whoever you are and wherever you live, we would like to hear what you think about how schools, government and technology should approach AI in education. The Board will cover a range of issues across the Department’s work on AI in education, empowering the young people themselves to shape the agenda.

As part of this Advisory Group, young people will: Have an introductory in person meeting in London (in July – date to be confirmed) Meet on a six-weekly basis until December 2027 with the other young people on the advisory group Four meetings will be in person, the others will be online Help the Department for Education understand the realities of young people’s experiences with AI Help shape policy advice to improve children’s lives in the future Applicants should: Live in England Be 16- to 18-years-old in July 2026 For more information head to our application form , deadline 23:59 on Sunday 21 st June 2026.
