This draft sets out how ANCHOR may and may not be used. It is prepared for solicitor review and is not yet in force.

Permitted use

ANCHOR is intended to support:

  • governance evidence
  • AI-use policy support
  • learning and CPD-recordable AI literacy evidence
  • client transparency support
  • incident and near-miss governance metadata
  • Trust Pack and readiness evidence

Prohibited use

ANCHOR must not be used for:

  • diagnostic use
  • prescribing use
  • treatment-planning use
  • autonomous triage
  • replacing veterinary judgement
  • use as an EHR, PMS, or clinical record
  • uploading raw clinical records or identifiable client or patient material unless expressly permitted by an authorised product flow and agreement
  • attempting to bypass tenant or access controls
  • using outputs without human review
  • any unlawful, harmful, misleading, abusive, or security-invasive use

Enforcement note

These boundaries describe expected use. ANCHOR's controls support safe use but do not perfectly police or prevent all possible misuse; responsibility for appropriate use remains with the clinic and its staff.

Important notice

ANCHOR helps clinics evidence responsible AI governance practices. It does not make a clinic compliant with any law or professional standard, and it does not replace veterinary judgement. These pages are prepared for transparency and solicitor review and are not legal advice.
