The interface and explanatory guides are translated. Record names, record descriptions, quotations, detailed editorial notes, and linked public documents stay in their published language so evidence is not silently changed.
If this affects someone
Ami will be integrated into Barnet Council's website and will provide a better customer experience by signposting customers 24/7 to the information or service they need on the website without requiring staff interaction. Ami will also be able to assist with supporting more vulnerable customers by identifying when they need further support and suggesting the best way for them to get this.

At times this includes specific PDFs as hosted on the website.

The score orders work, not people.
Review priority rises for rights-sensitive uses, missing sources, unanswered accountability fields, and old evidence. Strong official documentation lowers it. The score is not a verdict on safety, fairness, or legality.
A missing field means the attached public sources did not answer it. Coverage is uneven, publication does not prove performance, and a certificate has a defined boundary.
