2.2 Leap’s Work 2014 - 2017
This review has shown that Leap have made considerable progress since 2014 and have developed an influential and progressive approach to their work as outlined in 1.3.
Diagram 2.1a displays the three key themes identified in the evaluation as Leap’s main programs of work from 2014 - 2017
The three key themes identified from the evaluation are education, empowerment and social change. These themes were highlighted by all respondents and are identified as three key programs of
work being undertaken by Leap. These areas of work have developed during the period of 2014 – 2017 and you can especially see the development and progress of these programs through reviewing the current Leap material and literature, and by cross referencing with the data collected. Furthermore, the surveys highlighted specific trends, such as Leap delivering key knowledge and education around disability; and wanting to see changes in Government policy. These viewpoints were reflected by professionals, and not only people and families. This underpins the approach
of Leap, which includes bringing a range of people together and completing educational awareness around disability. It is striking to note that the education theme encapsulated a range of findings which summarised the positive impact of these.
