External Event

NASPM will be speaking at the Westminster Insight Educational Estates and Buildings Conference on 20 May 2026 in London. This event brings together education leaders, estates professionals and policy experts to discuss the future of school buildings, safety and estate management. During the conference, NASPM will deliver a session on holistic security management in school estates. The presentation will explore why security auditing is often the missing foundation in school safety, the growing importance of effective security risk assessments as Martyn’s Law approaches, and how schools can strengthen their approach to critical incidents, lockdown procedures and fire safety. The session will also highlight common risk management failings seen across school estates and share practical insight to help schools strengthen compliance and protect pupils, staff and visitors.

We will be attending the Education Estates Show at Manchester Central on 20 and 21 October 2026. This is the UK’s leading event for education infrastructure, bringing together professionals involved in the funding, design, build, maintenance and management of schools, colleges and universities. The two-day programme features a multi-stream conference covering practical insight and best practice, a wide-ranging exhibition of suppliers and solutions, and an awards ceremony celebrating excellence in the sector. The event provides a valuable chance to engage with peers, learn from expert speakers and explore the latest approaches to managing and improving education estates.
