Session one - Uma Komalan Developing a Lived Experience and Participation Framework: Emergent learnings from Salvation Army’s journey In early 2021, The Salvation Army started the work on developing a Lived Experience and Participation (LEAP) Framework. This started with a “discovery phase” that mapped what child and youth participation looks like across different TSA Mission Expressions through a nationwide consultation process. This presentation will provide an overview of the LEAP Discovery Process and the initial findings from the consultations, including discussing key enablers and barriers for child and youth participation. Session two - John Marion Case Studies of Youth & Children’s Participation in The Salvation Army. Exploring case studies of youth and children’s participation at local and organisational levels, to explore different approaches to empowering young people. The case studies include examples of empowerment, co-design, service delivery, advocacy, and organisational policy. The NCCA is very grateful to the Salvation Army and both Uma and John for facilitating this webinar.
