The AEP is committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment for everyone attending our conferences and events. Our safeguarding policies have been recently reviewed and updated to reflect this commitment. Designated safeguarding contacts will be available throughout the conference to receive reports or complaints, offer support, record incidents and escalate serious concerns. We encourage delegates who experience or witness behaviour that causes concern to speak to a designated contact. Every concern will be taken seriously and handled sensitively and confidentially.

Please note: This event is now fully booked.
