Updated: 5 hours ago

Updated 6 November 2026. This guide now covers Claude Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5 and Haiku 5.5, the merged Claude app, current plan prices and the UK data rule changes now in force.
Quick answer
UK adoption is rising but uneven: the ONS found about 35% of firms with ten or more staff used at least one AI technology by mid 2026, and lack of expertise remains a leading barrier. This three day live online bootcamp, run in UK hours, gives teams in Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and Edinburgh the skills to use Claude every day, from Projects and Research to Skills and Cowork, with UK GDPR aware rules.
What is new in Claude for UK teams (November 2026)
New models: Claude Opus 5.5 arrived on 22 September 2026, Claude Sonnet 5.5 on 28 September and Claude Haiku 5.5 on 7 October. API list prices per million tokens are USD 4 input and USD 20 output for Opus 5.5, USD 2 and USD 10 for Sonnet 5.5, and USD 0.10 and USD 0.50 for Haiku 5.5 on prompts up to 100,000 tokens.
One Claude: on 16 September 2026 Anthropic merged Claude Cowork and Claude chat into one Claude experience and added Claude Docs and Claude Slides. Chats, projects, artifacts, connectors and skills carry over.
Plans: the Team plan covers teams of 2 to 150 people, and Standard seats include Claude Code and Cowork. Ultra (USD 200 a month) now sits above Max, and Enterprise is USD 20 per seat per month billed annually with a 20 seat minimum, plus usage at API rates.
Enterprise controls: on 5 November 2026 Claude Enterprise added a security centre, centralised management and more access controls.
Certifications: Anthropic's role-based Claude certifications are open to staff of Claude Partner Network member firms. The network launched on 12 March 2026 with an initial USD 100 million commitment.
GOV.UK: in January 2026 the UK government selected Anthropic to build and pilot an AI assistant for GOV.UK that runs on Claude, starting with employment services. It follows the memorandum of understanding signed in February 2025.
London: in April 2026 Anthropic announced a much larger London office, with space for up to 800 staff according to The National.
UK data rules: most of the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 took effect on 5 February 2026, including new rules on automated decision-making in UK GDPR Articles 22A to 22D. The ICO consulted on updated automated decision-making guidance from 31 March 2026, and a code of practice on AI and automated decision-making is still to come.
Availability: Claude.ai, Claude Code and the Claude API are available in the United Kingdom.
What this means for training: teams no longer choose between chat and Cowork, so training now focuses on briefing Claude well, checking its plan before it acts, and setting plan-level rules for connectors and data. For UK teams, every programme also covers where a human must stay in the loop under the new automated decision-making rules.

Which Claude plan does your team need?
Free: chat, up to five Projects, memory, connectors and Skills.
Pro, Max or Ultra: add Research, Claude Cowork, Claude in Chrome and the Excel, PowerPoint and Word add-ins.
Team: two to 150 seats with central billing, single sign on and enterprise search.
Enterprise: adds audit logs, SCIM and custom data retention.
Prices on 6 November 2026: Pro USD 20 a month or USD 17 a month billed annually; Max USD 100 a month; Ultra USD 200 a month; Team Standard seats USD 25 a month or USD 20 billed annually, including Claude Code, Cowork and up to USD 500 a month in pooled API credits; Premium seats USD 125 or USD 100 billed annually; Enterprise USD 20 per seat per month billed annually with a 20 seat minimum, plus usage at API rates. Check claude.com/pricing for taxes and changes.
Practical advice: start a pilot group on Team Standard seats, give Premium seats only to heavy users, and move to Enterprise when compliance needs SCIM, audit logs and custom retention.
Current models: Claude Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5 and Haiku 5.5, with Fable 5.1 as the top tier.

Frequently asked questions

Does UK GDPR allow teams to use Claude?
Yes, with safeguards. Most Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 changes took effect on 5 February 2026, including new rules on automated decision-making. Keep a human in the loop for significant decisions, keep personal data out of prompts unless your plan and settings are approved, and run a DPIA for high-risk use. This is general guidance, not legal advice.
