As part of our ongoing strategy to embrace innovation, we recognise the increasing role of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in various tasks, including the preparation of application forms, assessments and interviews. However, we wish to emphasise the importance of original thought and personal engagement throughout the recruitment and selection process., While we acknowledge that AI tools are useful in certain contexts, such as grammar checking or assisting with language structure, we expect candidates to use AI in the application process only where appropriate and within reason. For example:

• AI tools may be used to proofread or enhance the clarity of your application materials.
• AI tools should not be used to generate content or draft responses to interview questions or assessments on your behalf. You should not copy and paste AI-generated text directly into your application form or in any other assessment.
