The IEP are delighted to announce that Liz Sayce OBE, Pat Russell FIEP and Louise Doyle MIEP will be joining Tony Wilson FIEP, IES Director, as panellists for the fourth and final seminar of the IEP Summit 2024, which takes place on 20 June at London’s RSA House and is kindly sponsored by NCFE.
Tony’s seminar will set out the findings and recommendations of the IES Commission on the future of employment support. IEP Summit delegates will hear about the Commission’s work and get insights into the thinking behind its proposals. There will also be a chance to hear what the final report is likely to say; and to comment on what that might mean for the employability sector.
Liz Sayce OBE is a Commissioner on the Commission on the Future of Employment Support, a visiting professor in practice at the LSE and former CEO of Disability Rights UK. She is a Trustee of Action on Disability and Development International and Non-Executive Member of North Central London Integrated Care Board.

Previous roles include Policy Director of the Disability Rights Commission and of Mind, and Vice Chair of the Social Security Advisory Committee.

In her spare time, Pat volunteers as Chair of the Board of Trustees for Pawprint Trust, a small charity that supports young people by providing grants to enable them to experience new adventures.
