UK AI Governance Readiness Checklist
33 practical checks to help your organisation get ready to govern the AI it builds or uses, mapped to UK GDPR, ICO guidance and the Equality Act 2010.
Built for the UK
Covers UK GDPR, the ICO's AI and data protection guidance and the Equality Act 2010, not a generic or EU-only list.
Every item sourced
Each checklist item names the article, section or guidance it comes from, so you can find the evidence you need.
Preparation, not a verdict
A working tool for getting ready. It does not certify anything, and your organisation stays responsible for its own compliance.

This checklist is a governance preparation aid produced by AI Governance Hub, a product of ITNextGen Limited. It is not legal advice and does not certify, approve or guarantee compliance with any law or regulator guidance. Your organisation remains responsible for its own compliance. Law and regulator guidance change; the ICO has stated its AI and data protection guidance is under review following the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025. Take qualified legal or data protection advice before relying on it.
