The Stepping Up programme aims to develop the leadership potential of disabled Aucklanders and their communities.

From July until November 2009, this eight-session programme brings together a group of about one hundred disability stakeholders. The programme has three parts:

• First, participants will start the leadership ‘conversation’ and identify a smaller group of potential leaders.
• Next, that smaller group will work together to develop their skills and create an action plan for disability leadership development.
• Finally, that plan will be brought back to the wider group.

This website will keep everyone in touch and continue discussions about leadership and disability throughout the programme.
