AELP Safeguarding, inclusion & governance Summit

Wednesday 9 September 2026

Join us at etc. Venues Manchester

Pro Excellence Partnership is proud to partner with AELP to support a new exciting event for the sector. With Ofsted’s new Education Inspection Framework, introduced in November 2025, sharpening its focus on leadership, governance, safeguarding and inclusion, there has never been a more important time for post-16 providers to come together, learn from sector experts and help providers prepare for their own inspections and fine tune policies and processes to ensure they align with the current direction and policy landscape.

The AELP Safeguarding, Inclusion and Governance Summit is a must-attend, face-to-face event for leaders, governors, nominees/shadow nominees, designated safeguarding leads and officers, quality professionals and inclusion specialists across the post-16 skills sector. Join members of the Pro Excellence Partnership team at etc. Venues in Manchester on September 9th.
