Questions, before you commit

AI doesn't replace your judgement — it gives you a calm second voice that can draft, scenario-plan, and stress-test under pressure. Module 3 specifically covers the Human Review Checklist that has to sit between AI output and anything you actually send. The point is faster human decisions, not automated ones.

Session 7 includes four full simulation tracks: a safeguarding allegation, a social media firestorm, an operational emergency, and a reputational crisis. The frameworks transfer to any high-stakes situation that needs comms, decisions, or stakeholder management at speed.

Most crisis comms courses are written for businesses or hospitals. This one is built for schools — the stakeholder mix, the safeguarding overlay, the parental scrutiny, the regulator landscape. Every example is from real school crises (anonymised).

Individual licences are for personal use, but Module 4 is explicitly designed for team rehearsal — the roundtable activities work as a 90-minute SLT session. Contact us for team pricing if you want everyone on the same page.

Data Detective is the analytical foundation; Crisis Management is the high-stakes communications layer; Clone Yourself reclaims the routine admin time around them. The bundle covers all three for $20.
