Use of AI in Applications

Applicants may use AI tools to assist with drafting or refining their application. However, AI should only be used to enhance an application and must not replace personal experience or be used to generate content wholly on the applicant’s behalf. Where it is identified that AI has been used to create an application in full or to falsify responses, this will be taken into account within the scoring, and your application may not be progressed.
