Our work with the Leadership College of Government: the DELTA programme


DELTA (disability empowers leadership talent) - is the largest programme we have worked on, running annually from 2019. The programme is available to any participant on the Civil Service’s Future Leadership Scheme (FLS) a very competitive programme for civil servants at grades six or seven – the band beneath the Senior Civil Service (SCS) who are disabled, neurodiverse or who live with a long-term health condition.

The main aim of the programme is to create an environment where the participants can grow, learn, and develop their leadership skills to contribute more effectively to their organisation's success. 



By August 2024 over 200 civil servants had taken part in the programme. It offers four full-day workshops and four individual coaching sessions as well as specialist internal support from the Leadership College for Government. All of Result's DELTA workshop facilitators and coaches have lived experience of disability or a long-term health condition themselves. 



DELTA graduates have experienced a range of positive outcomes from the programme including promotion, career progression, improved physical and mental health and reduced isolation as disabled civil servants with a stronger greater sense of being part of a supportive network of colleagues. 

'DELTA has helped me understand more about who I am as a leader and as a person. I’m beginning to recognise that I have intrinsic value, that not everything is my fault, and that I’m more than my disability. DELTA really is a great programme and highly recommended.'



'Empathetic, understanding and experienced facilitators (and organizers) really helped the day flow in terms of providing guidance, teaching and also challenge.'



'It was reassuring to feel ‘normal’. It was really good to reflect on the models of disability and how I have encountered them and project them myself on a daily basis.'
