The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me explain a family situation to a school or employer.

Who I'm telling: [school / employer / both]
What's happening, at the level I'm willing to share: [details]
What I want from them: [flexibility, pastoral watch, leave]
Privacy limits: [what not to share wider]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A short message or email.
2. A one-line version for a quick conversation.
3. A clear ask.
4. What to put in writing versus say verbally.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, diagnoses or legal outcomes. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
