LEAP stands for listening, empowerment, advocacy and participation. The LEAP programme is based in west Leeds and its citywide services, focusing on deprived areas of Leeds, benefit hundreds of children and professionals each year.
Our team of dedicated professional staff, volunteers and young people work across Leeds and Bradford to promote the inclusion and integration of disabled, asylum seeking and refugee children and young people into education and within the community. Thousands of children and young people benefit from our work in schools, the community and through disability training to the childcare workforce.
Our awareness raising, participation, diversity, and inclusion work means that we, with partners, can help children to overcome barriers, empowering them to reach their full potential.
LEAP aims to identify ways of meeting the needs of children by engaging with them and listening to them. Children’s participation is fundamental to everything we do. We listen to what children and young people need and involve them as partners in our work. This is evident in the success of LEAP Juniors who have developed training DVDs about their experiences of being new to the country.
