The LEAP project is a research study examining LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer +) inclusion in home care for older people in England and Wales. The study is funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research and and co-led by Dr Jolie Keemink (University of Kent) and Prof Paul Willis (Cardiff University). It aims to examine the current knowledge levels and training provision on LGBTQ+ inclusion in the home care workforce, and to identify improvements and how these could be addressed. The study runs from 1 June 2025 to 31 August 2027.
