Feedback

“KSL produced two national conferences for the Department and our project partner, iMPOWER. The events were of a high quality in terms of content, organisation and facilities. A full range of stakeholders presented and the workshops were highly participative. Feedback on the events from delegate evaluations was very good, and since then we have received significant interest in the project from local authorities.” Sally Burlington, Deputy Director, Children in Care & Adoption, Department for Education (DfE)

“KSL designed and produced a topical national conference for Association of Youth Offending Team Managers on Preventing Youth Crime. The content, venue and logistical management were of exceptional quality. Delegates scored speakers very highly. We would be very pleased to collaborate again with the KSL events team.” Mike Thomas, Chair, Association of Youth Offending Team Managers (AYM)
