Last updated: 23 April 2026  ·  Effective: 23 April 2026  ·  Version 1.2

Most important points

1. What CaseworkAI Is

CaseworkAI (“the Service”) is a free document generation tool operated as a community project at caseworkai.org by Tom R.. It converts rough case notes into structured draft documents for professional review. It is a drafting assistant only. It does not make professional assessments, clinical decisions, safeguarding determinations or legal judgements. By using CaseworkAI you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. The Draft Requirement — Your Most Important Obligation

Every document generated by CaseworkAI is a draft. It must be reviewed, verified and approved by a qualified professional before submission to any person, organisation, court, government body or official record.

By using CaseworkAI you confirm that you will: read every generated document in full before submitting it; verify that it accurately reflects the facts of the case; take full professional responsibility for any document you submit; and not represent a CaseworkAI-generated document as anything other than a draft you have reviewed.

3. Who May Use CaseworkAI

CaseworkAI is intended for qualified social workers, NGO case managers, community health and welfare workers, and social work students under appropriate supervision. You must be 18 or older. The Service is not for use by clients, service users or children.

4. Your Responsibilities

4a. Client confidentiality

You are responsible for complying with all confidentiality obligations, professional codes of conduct and data protection law applicable in your jurisdiction. You must use client initials or reference codes only. You must not submit a client’s full name.

4b. Professional standards

Your use of CaseworkAI does not alter your professional obligations. You remain bound by the standards and regulations of your professional body, employer and jurisdiction at all times.

4c. Accuracy

You are responsible for providing accurate information. The quality of output depends entirely on the quality of your input. CaseworkAI generates documents based solely on what you provide.

4d. Safeguarding

CaseworkAI does not assess risk or identify safeguarding concerns. It does not replace professional judgement in any safeguarding situation. Where safeguarding concerns exist you must follow your organisation’s procedures and your professional obligations regardless of anything in a generated document.

5. Special Category and Children’s Data

Art. 9 UK GDPR — equivalent provisions in all target jurisdictions

Case notes may contain special category data including health information, criminal proceedings, mental health, domestic circumstances and data relating to children. By submitting such data you confirm you have a lawful basis for processing it, you are authorised by your role and organisation to use an external AI tool for drafting assistance, and where required you have obtained appropriate consent or authority. If your organisation requires a Data Processing Agreement before staff use CaseworkAI, see Section 9 of the Privacy Policy or email hello@caseworkai.org.

6. Jurisdiction-Specific Professional Obligations

7. Prohibited Uses

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

CaseworkAI is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free; that documents generated will be accurate, complete or suitable for any particular purpose; or that AI-generated content will be free from errors or omissions. The Service is provided free of charge. You use it at your own professional risk.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, CaseworkAI and its operator (Tom R.) shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of or reliance on any generated document; any professional, regulatory or legal consequences from submitting a generated document; any inaccuracy or omission in any generated document; any harm to any person arising from your use of the Service; or any interruption or termination of the Service.

You are solely responsible for every document you submit. Professional responsibility cannot be delegated to a drafting tool.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or any matter that cannot be excluded by applicable law.

10. Intellectual Property

The CaseworkAI brand, website and systems are the property of the operator. You retain ownership of your submitted notes and generated documents. CaseworkAI claims no intellectual property rights over your content. Generated documents are for your professional use — you may edit, submit and store them as your own professional work, provided you have reviewed them and taken responsibility for their content.

11. Data Processing Agreements

For organisations deploying CaseworkAI for their teams

A standard Data Processing Agreement (Art. 28 UK GDPR / equivalent) is available on request. Email hello@caseworkai.org with subject “DPA Request — [Organisation Name]”. Response within five working days.

12. Changes and Availability

CaseworkAI is a free community tool. We may modify, suspend or discontinue the Service at any time. We may update these Terms at any time — continued use after updated Terms are posted constitutes acceptance.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. Nothing prevents users in other jurisdictions relying on mandatory rights under their local law.
