Positioning

Not just “AI in your MIS”

Your MIS is the system of record. Lyceum is the safeguarding‑aware voice layer that automates what happens outside it — calls, responses, escalation, and audit trails.

AI inside the MIS

  • Ask questions and pull answers from MIS data
  • Draft emails, reports, and student summaries
  • Help staff build formulas, reports, and policies

Great for drafting and querying — but most duty‑of‑care work happens on the phone, in inboxes, and in real‑time conversations.

Lyceum voice & safeguarding layer

  • Proactive voice + SMS + email, with two‑way parent responses captured
  • Contact policy enforcement (priority order, do‑not‑contact, separated families)
  • Voicemail safe mode for sensitive categories
  • Constrained scripts with human‑in‑the‑loop escalation
  • Write outcomes back to your MIS with audit‑ready logs

Built to be complementary: your MIS remains the source of truth; Lyceum handles the communications layer.

Procurement & safeguarding pack

We provide a DPIA starter pack, DPA template, data retention controls, and sample call scripts — designed for UK school procurement teams.

Safeguarding First

How we handle the hard stuff

Contact policy layer

Respects do-not-contact flags, contact priority order, separated families, and court orders. Configurable per child.

Voicemail safe mode

Never leaves sensitive details on voicemail. Shared phones get minimal messages with a callback prompt.

Verified detail-sharing

Shares minimal info until identity checks pass. No pupil details disclosed to unverified callers.

Human-in-the-loop

Safeguarding, medical, and exclusion categories require staff review or immediate handover.

Constrained AI

Template-driven dialogue flows with "never say" guardrails. The agent classifies and summarises—it does not improvise.

Data protection

Encryption in transit and at rest. No training on your data. Configurable retention. Audio deleted after transcription. DPIA support pack included.

FAQ

Questions you should ask

We expect schools to scrutinise AI vendors. Here are the answers to the hard questions.

How do you avoid calling the wrong parent?
Lyceum reads contact records and permissions directly from your MIS. Each child has a contact policy that specifies who may be contacted, in what order, and for what categories of information. Court orders and do-not-contact flags are enforced automatically.
Do you leave voicemails about incidents or safeguarding?
No. Voicemail mode delivers a minimal, safe message—"Please call the school"—without pupil details. Shared phone numbers and mobile numbers are treated with extra caution.
Is Lyceum allowed to "make things up"?
No. The AI uses structured, template-driven dialogue flows. It classifies and summarises information but never improvises facts, gives advice, or speculates about a child's situation.
What data do you store? Do you keep audio?
We store structured event logs (who was called, when, outcome) and transcripts. Raw audio is deleted after transcription unless you opt in to longer retention. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
Do you train AI on our data?
No. We do not use customer data to train foundation models. Data is processed only to provide the service, and we use contractual controls with processors to prohibit training on your data.
Does Lyceum replace our MIS?
No. Your MIS remains your system of record. Lyceum reads what it needs (contacts, attendance codes, permissions) and writes outcomes back (delivery status, responses, incident summaries) with a full audit trail.
What happens if a parent discloses safeguarding info out of hours?
The agent does not handle live safeguarding disclosures. If a parent raises a concern, the call is flagged for immediate staff follow-up. We provide clear escalation paths and handover procedures as part of onboarding.
