The first 18 months…

Our Learning

• Deeper knowledge of the area, the inequalities that are not visible in aggregated data

• The assets on our doorstep, adding up to a whole so much greater than its parts

• Know about the evidence and practice that is most relevant to the local context

• The relevance of evidence• The gaps in existing evidenced based practice• Potential for real social capital

Our Hopes and fears….looking back after 10 years

As we look back in 2024, we hope that:• The portfolio projects achieves the changes we expected• Services will have a more ecological approach• The impact is evidenced• Opportunities and outcomes have improved for over 10,000 children• We have succeeded in changing practice and how resource is investedBut we fear:• Change will have been slower than planned• We’ll have suffered ‘programme envy’ from outside the LEAP area• We won’t have spent enough on evaluation• Professionals reverting back to their “comfort zone” in future
