Common FAQs

How can I log breaches in our Environmental Procedures?

Our Compliance Breach Register helps you track breaches of your Environmental Procedures. It allows you to securely log incidents and maintain a clear audit trail. By centralising this process, you can monitor compliance, analyse trends, and demonstrate accountability in line with ESG standards.

How can employees report ESG-related concerns anonymously? 

Our Whistleblowing Register allows employees to report any ESG-related issues, such as environmental risks, ethical breaches, or governance concerns. This secure and anonymous platform ensures that employees feel safe raising concerns.

How can I ensure employees are aware of and comply with our Environmental Procedures? 

With our Policy Hub, you can easily distribute your Environmental Procedures to employees and ensure compliance. The tool allows you to assign policies, track acknowledgements, and send automated reminders to those who haven't attested yet. 

Are Skillcast courses SCORM-compliant?

Yes. This means they can be delivered via the Skillcast Portal or any other SCORM-compliant Learning Management System.

What other tools are needed beyond training?

A comprehensive compliance solution often needs more than just training. Alongside e-learning, tools such as declarations, surveys and registers that track compliance tasks are usually essential. Skillcast provides full support to help you set up these additional tools.

What is Aida and how does it ensure reliable answers?

 Aida is an AI tutor embedded in courses that allows learners to ask questions at any point during learning. It draws exclusively on content that has been vetted and curated by your organisation, including course materials, internal policies, approved web resources, and regulator sites. This curated approach ensures answers reflect accurate, organisation‑specific guidance. 

Can administrators see what questions are asked and how Aida responds?

Yes. Reporting includes both the questions asked and Aida’s responses. For meaningful insight, questions are also categorised by topic (e.g., records management, gifts and hospitality) to reveal trends. All reporting is anonymised by default to encourage open, non‑threatening inquiry. To protect assessment integrity, Aida is disabled during assessments and is only available during the learning components of a course.
