Part of the re88on for this decrease was the development and dellvery of a new training programme that provided 8peciali8t training over many months to a relatlV8ly small cohort of delegates.

When considering the courses that last more than 1 day, the company detiv8red a totsl of 3,500 days of tr8ining. A8 in previous years. most bookings came dlrectly from NHS Trusts and Health Boards. There Were tsvo primary causes for th8 decrease in booklngs. both of which had been anticipated. The first was 8 relatively low number of hlgh-voLume online courses, whiGh was due to a lack of faculty av8i18billty. Additional faculty members have been £dded as a r8suIt, and the number of thasa courses is expected to return to previou8 levels next yo8r. The second, as alluded to oarller, was involvement In th8 development of a specla118t tralnlng package forthe n9w role of Independent S8niorAdvocat88 (ISA} for NHS England. Th18 was a very 8ignificant and important plece of work, but it was onLy for a relattvely smell number of delegates so had Ilttle impact on the tot81 number of att8ndee8.

In ganeral, the demand for B8by Lifeline's cour8e8 remains very high. with 8 n8ar-con8tsnt stream of requests for both new and e8tsblished courses. A8 With each of the Last fivo years. however, this demand Is still significantly lower than when the Maternlty Safety Trainlng Fund was made available to trusts In 2017.

27 BABY LIFELINE LIMITED COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BABY LIFELINE LIMITED (coiitiiiiied) YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024 Auditor's responslbilities for the audit of the group financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Group financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatemenL whether due to fraud or error, and to i&sue an auditof s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to infiuence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thetie Group financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: Identifying and a88e58ing potential risks related to irregularities lii identifying and assessing risks of material mi55tatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the folIowing: The nature of the industry, the control environment and the business performance. Results from enquiries with management. Results from an identification and evaluation of whether the entity are complying with laws and re8ulations and whether management were aware of any non-complian. The intemal controls established to mitigate the risk of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations. As a result of tesling, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud, including areas where management exercise significant judgement. Such items were tested, as well as specifAC procedures relating to the risk of management override. Audit re6pon8e to the risk8 identifxed In addition to the above procedures, we also included the following: Enquiring of management regarding any potential litigation or claims,, Performing analytical pr(Kedures to identify any unusual trends whxch may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; Reading rninutes of meettng5 held by those charged with governance; Testing the appropriateness of journal entries and assessing whether they are indications management override. As part of an audit in accordan with ISA5 (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also.. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Group financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion, The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resuEting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal conlrol relevant to the audit in order ti> design audit procedures that are appropriate in the Circumstan$, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.
