EPI Annual Lecture 2026
16 November 2026, 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Location: London
Think tank: Education Policy Institute
This event hosted by UK think tank the Education Policy Institute is their annual lecture 2026.
The Education Policy Institute’s 2026 Annual Lecture will be taking place on Monday 16th November.
We are thrilled that this year it will be delivered by the Children’s Commissioner for England, Dame Rachel de Souza.
As Dame Rachel comes to the end of her six-year tenure as Children’s Commissioner for England, she will share some reflections on what it means to be a child in education in the modern age, especially in light of the NEET crisis and growing concerns around children’s engagement and mental health.
The lecture will be followed by a drinks reception, with the opportunity to continue the conversation with colleagues from across the education sector.
