Project Background
The Learning, Educating and Protecting (LEAP) project is a four-year project funded by Comic Relief. The project aims to support the needs of Children with Street Connections (CwSC) by building the capacity of teachers to identify Special Education Needs (SEN) and adapt methodologies to promote classroom interaction and inclusion. The project aims to harness individual learning support to ensure that street connected children are able to learn as much as possible and achieve their academic potential despite their circumstances. The project uses community volunteers known as Learning Support Assistants (LSA) to provide individual learning support to Street connected children with Special Education Needs (SCwSEN).
