Red flag policy

Last updated: 27 November 2025

This page outlines how Wurksy AI identifies and handles “red flags” to support academic integrity, transparent use of AI, and fair review processes.

What a red flag is

A red flag is an indicator that a session may involve activity that conflicts with the expected rules of use. Examples include attempts to bypass assignment policies, requests for cheating or plagiarism, efforts to manipulate or delete logs, or other behaviour that suggests misuse of the system.

How red flags are recorded

When a red flag is triggered, it is recorded alongside relevant session metadata for review by authorised staff or administrators. This helps institutions review potential issues consistently and within their academic integrity processes.

Using red flags with discretion

Red flags are not definitive proof of misconduct. They should be interpreted with discretion, taking into account context, assignment rules, and any relevant guidance from the institution. Staff should use professional judgement and, where appropriate, follow established review and escalation procedures.

Commitment to academic integrity

Wurksy AI is designed to promote transparent, responsible use of AI in learning environments. The red flag system supports academic integrity by encouraging honest use of AI tools and providing clear signals for review when rules may have been breached.
