It is with great pleasure that we extend a warm welcome to the inaugural National DSL Conference, proudly presented by NAASA, the National Association of Academy Safeguarding Advisors.

Since its inception in 2020, NAASA has been dedicated to uniting safeguarding executive leaders from multi-academy trusts, fostering dialogue on policy advancements, and offering mutual support within our community.

We are really excited to present our conference, made possible through the generous sponsorship of IMPERO Software Solutions. Through whom, we have ensured that there is zero cost to every delegate!

Throughout the event, we invite you to explore IMPERO’s innovative work, either here at the conference or by visiting their website: https://www.imperosoftware.com.
