STRATEGIC REPORT Like everyone in the health and social care sector. this year has been an enormous challenge for FitzRoy. Every part of ihe organisatson has been tested lo the limits- but we end the year stronger than ever, optimistic and in good shape lor the challen9esahead. Looking back over the year. while we could never have planned for the far-reaching impact of a pandemic. roronavirus also presented us with a huge opportunity lor learning. As always. we celiver our strategy through the lens of our values - and never more so than this year. Our ability to be responsive, agile and See the Person in all our decisions has meanl we continue to be a robust charity which Is Ihriving In extraordinary and unprecedented times. We took decisive actionvery early on In the coronaviTUS crisis to Protect the people who use our services and our staff.

We have ended the year in a sound financial posits'on finishing 2020121 ivith a growth in totsl income of 9.6/1 on the previou5 year. This builds on our growth ol 10.1% in 2019120 and 7.5/17 in 2018119. For 2021122 we have committed to a hjge investment in quatsty - with a f¢xus on strengthening the foundations ol the charity. with an aim to lutureprooling ourselves as lar as wp are ablp so wp remain strong in uncertsin times. and continue to deliver a quality service to the people we support. Our mission is always to deliver the best wssible support. Our ambiiion lor quality is an expectstion that IOOYO ol our services receive a good, CQC ratsng by 2022123. However. the challenge ol delivering successfully within the pressure5 of the external environment should not be underestimated. A5 Wlth many wial care provider5, we continue lo lace difficultie5 in recruiting and retsining stsff, a pressing issue common across the seclor. And there is no doubt that the protects'on of the NHS was the government's priority at the beginning ol the pandemic.

It has been clear through the govemment's response to Coronavirus that policy makers need a better understanding ol the social care sector as it relates to working age adults an(J other housing and care models. We provide a range ol serwces for adults with learning disabilibes and more than hall the people we support do not live in care homes.

Throu9h careful, capable mana9emen( FitzRoy may well have avoided the death5 experienced by some care homes, but there is no doubl that the people we support are extremely vutnerable, many with UnderIng heallh conditions. The urgent need loi social care reform and a greater political commitment was highlighted throughout the crisis. We feel like we are as well prepared as we can be for a future .here covid always plays a role - we continue to uwlate and iesl our dats collection to make sure it is h"t for purpose and 9ives us what we need to inform our responsive decision making. The robust risk assessment approach we have developed over the year also puts us in good stead. This informs and evidences our decision-rnaking process. so that our managers feel assured, and we can be transparent with the people we supporL families and commissioners. We have developed closer relationships with ourcomm65ionefs as well as our colleagues in the sector which all bodes well for lulure partnership working and our ability lo share and learn lessons.

Our response to Covid-19 When the pandemic started, we all feared the worst given the demographic and health of some of the people we support. It was heart breaking to Lose four pw)ple we support to covid, but without thp resilience and commilment of our staff. things could have been much worse.

Once there were confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK, we knew we needed to reduce anxiety and misinformation among our slalf. They were worried about their own health as well as the health and safety ol their loved ones and the people we supporL To enable us to be responsive to the threat and impact of coronavirus. we set up a ctpar communications and decision-Trking process.

Our Board moved immediately lo monthly meetj'ngs online with lortnightly updates. to enable us to be agile In our decision making. Systems and insight We did everything we could to prepare the organisation for an outbreak in the early days of coronavirus before we'd en had a suspecled case, including: Executing a successful m¢xk emergency shut down ol our head ollice and tested remote working protocols as news of a global pandemic started to galvanise. Moving our central SUPPOTt lo remote working before the first lockdown was announced which meant thal we seamlessly switched to all head office stsfl working al home. Testing our processes and systems. identifying gaps and areas ol risk including a mock outbreak in our Nottingham care home. Gathering data very early on from every service, so we could Identify and assess nsks to stslfin9 levels, and Ihe vulnerability ol stsfl and the people we support in terms of underlwng health conditions. Prevenlion.. We knew that due lo the nature ol the people we support at FitzRoy, once coronavirus got into our services. il would very easily spread. We Implemented slringenl hy9iene measures, reslricted visits lo our services and gave clear guidance to stsff and families. We identified PPE procuTement as a priority in early March 2020. Sourcing hand sanitiser proved incredibly dillicult for our services. and the fragility ol PPE stocks available liom Public Health England in the early months of the cri515 led to us deciding to organi5e this centrally. We committed to buying whatever PPE we needed to keep our stsll and Ihe people we support sale. A stslf member was seconded as a dedicated PPE project manager, in charge ol sourcing and distribution. Drawing from our reserves. we spent an extra £350,000 on PPE before we were reliably able to order free PPE from the government POTtsI in September 2020. This enabled us to get PPE deliveries to mosl of our services quickly and efficiently from the very beginning ol Ihe crisis. We ordered PPE over and above government guidance. Vir$ and scrubs lor services in outbreak, fogging machines to help ensure our seThices were clean, as well as oximeters and infrared thermometers to help us monitor the health of the people we support.

To ensLire consistency ol approach and to support our managers with what were sometimK5s diflirult decisions. we developed a complex risk matrix assessment twl. The tool is completed by managers in response Ic the latest govemment guidance and policies. Where the decision was too complex even lor the risk assessment tool we implemented weekly panel meetings with service management teams where managers could discuss any challenges or risk assessment issues they were markiging wilh a panel of quality team membeTS and the operations team. This made difficult decisions less stressful lor our managers. as there was a shared responsibility, but also reassured families, even Il they didn't agree with our decision, that we were going through a rigorous process lo keep their loved one sale and not making knee jerk decisions. Managing our finances- The long-term stsbility ol the oiganisation has remained paiamounl. Our Board ol Trustees offered flexible governance lo enable us to effectively meet the needs resulting from the crisis. They moved from quarterly to monthly meetings lo review the impact of coronavirus and specifically our financial performance, enabling us to move quickly and make tinEly decisions. We strategically tsrgeted spend to support the coronavirus response, for example by paying staff lor sell-isoiation and by mobilising a central PPE Purchasing and supply function. We enhanced our sick pay oller, so slafl would not be di1vantaged as a result ol the pandemic. This also very likely impacted on our ability to keep coronavirus oul of our serwces. Making use of govemment covid measures: We received EI%Ok in covid lundinq from the Infection ControL Rapid Tests'nq and Workforce Capacity Funds.

We have claimed £642kfrom the government's furlough grant scheme. The impact of covid at FitzRoy'. During the last 12 month5 we have sadly lost four people we support lo the virus. This had a very big impact on staff, and we supported those service5 where Ihis has happened. However, given the number of deaths in the UK. this low number can be altributed lo the diligence of our staff team following rules and the swift actions of the coronavirus response team providing twice daily calls where outbreak5 happened. Apart from the keart-breaking loss ol fouT people we support. other Impacts over the year include.. 232 staff sell-isolated due to confirmed or suspected cowd 14 staff were off with prolonged symptoms afier 14 days 88 people we support tested positive

We adapted the rest ol our courses so we could detsver engaging virtual trainer-led sessions. We delivered 4,391 modules lor individuals virtually despite having a reduced team. We also provided 70 new training kiptops purchased. configured. and deployed so support workers can access online training more feadily. A significant administrative burden has been placed on our managers, as they carry out inlects.on control measures at our services.

Opinion
which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (incorporating Income and Expenditure Account), the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law unting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs(UK)) and applicable of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the ordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the strategic report and the trus the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
r the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free ur 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these 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.
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the charitable company.
Our approach was as follows:
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the charitable company and considered that the most significant are the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Charity SORP, and UK financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council
-
We obtained an understanding of how the charitable company complies with these requirements by discussions with management and those charged with governance.
-
We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding discussions with management and those charged with governance.
-
We inquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of noncompliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
Based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of management and those charged with governance and obtaining additional corroborative evidence as required.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the trol.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
d, based
-
on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that conclude that a material uncertainty ex related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of However, future events or conditions may cause the charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
