THE PROFOUND AND MULTIPLE IMPAIRMENT SERVICE CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 This will bé my last report as the Chair of the PAMIS Board of Govemors. l am quite startled to find thal I have been the Chair of the Board for more than 7 years from June 2018. 1 am sad lo be stepping down as the Chair but fully intend to continue my dose involvement wth PAMIS as a family carer. I'm very pleased to be handing over the mantle into the very capable hands of Jenny Whinnelt who is also a family carer and a supporter of PAMIS for many years and who is also a staunch advocate and innovator for all matters relating to PMLD. I thought that it would be interesting to read through the accA)unts of PAMIS for 2018 to compare whal PAMIS was up to al the time I took over as Chair. Interestingly, there were only 2 Govemors on the 2018 Board who ar8 Still on the Board now and they are Jenny Whinnett and myself. However. we are very fortunate that our current group of Baard members are enthusiastic, active and very keen to help PAMIS achieve ils goals and objectivas. In 2018 It had bean PAMIS'S 25th anniversary and also the year in which we developed our 10 year slra18gy in which we were looking to a future that would ensure that communities would develop and be equipped lo support some of the most marglnalised people wlthin our society, namely people wlth PMLD and their family carers, lo lead healthy and Included lives doing things they value and choose. We planned to focus on 4 key areas, namely wellbeing, living, working and learning by. Supporting people with PMLO, Ih8ir Family Carers and Communiti8S'. Educatlon and Development.. Influ8ncing Policy and Practice.. Research and evaluation.. Developing and supporting innovative practice: Sustainability of PAMIS-. Valuing staff and volunteers.. All of these activities would ensure th8 PAMIS commitment that: People with PMLD ar8 valued both as individuals and contribullon they make to the community People with PMLD should receiv6 all the support needed lo realis8 their full potential People with PMLD have a right lo a full life shaped by person81 choice, abilities and needs and that this underlies all provision and policy affecting their livas The knowledge and experi8nGe of family carers is recognised. and that their views are fully taken into account in service development. In 2025, the question is therefore are we on track lo achieve that commitment by 2028? These core aims are still embodied in our 2025 accounts and Jenny Miller, our CEO, has clearly idenlified that We are well on the way to achieving what we set out to in 2018. When rereading Jenny's report in 2018, 1 was astounded by how many activities, projects and services PAMIS was already providing for such a small charity. There is no doLtbt that we punch well above our weight in every aspect of our work so would it be possible to sustain that level of commitment in the face of much adversity over the last seven years? We have had to overcome many challenges including financial and funding uncertainty, Ihe dreadful impact on COVID and its aftermath on our families, our organisation and our staff, and the current financial Glimate of reducing local authorily funding and services for our families and also Ihe withdrawal of local funding for 8 number of PAMIS local family support seNices.
THE PROFOUND AND MULTIPLE IMPAIRMENT SERVICE CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 However, when you read Jenny Miller's statement for 2025, you see that nol only have we managed lo sustain the lavel of achievement in 2018, but we have continued to build, develop and progress. 11 begs the question, how did we manage to suNive when so many other charities have failed. despite their best efforts? In my view there are many reasons for this., Outstanding leadershlp from Jenny Miller who is the most lenaGlous and perslslenl person I have ever encoLtntered. Her networking skills are legendary bul so are her listening skills. On so many occasions she has taken ideas from staff and familles and mada them happen by sheer force of personality. She is sought 8ft8r by many organisations lo share her views so arti¢ulalely on all matters relating to PMLO and as such has firmly put PAMIS on the map both in the community and in Govemment. PAMIS staff are extraordinary. Ther8 is very little lurnover of staff because they are so hard working and dedicated and for them working for PAMIS is a vocation and not just a lob. They are respected and valued by all of the familles they work with because they make such a fundamental differ8nce to our families, quality of Ilfe. It seemed inconceivable that they could work any harder and then we were hit by COVID, and our staff hit tho ground running lo support families in any way that they could. Our families were essentially abandon8d by all the org2nisalions that they depended on for support and for many the only help that they dld recelve was from PAMIS staff. Durlng the last dacade we have had slgnificant funding issues ranging from the uncertainly of receiving funding from funders both big and small, the economic climate and the COVID pandemic. We managed to weather th8se financial difficulties because of the astute financial managemenl of Fiona Harper. our finance director. She kept a steady hand on the tiller while at the same lime devising imaginative ways lo increase our income. Innovation and imagination havé always been bywords in PAMIS. We have always devised new Ideas, some of which may have seemed weird and wonderful al the time but have since gone on to be just the way things are done now. Some Ideas are still a work in progress or the subject of research but in due course these will also become the way that things are done. Here are only some example of work that PAMIS has innovated over the yeaFS.' changing place toilets, the Pamiloo. postural care Irainlng, acute hospital pathw8ys. lifelong learning, digital passports, moving and handling, training on a ranga of PMLD topics, multi-sensory stories, leisure activlties and hopefully in the fulness of limé. PMLD Hubs for health and social care. So, l am optimistic about the future of PAMIS. because those qualities that have enabled us to not only survive but to thrive in the last 33 years will serve us well in a future when our services will be needed even more that ever. As an organisalion we have tackled diffiGuIt issues and we have broughl about ground breaking developments in the rield of PMLD, locally nationally and intemationally. We have evolved, developed, changed and adapted but h8ve always held true to our fundamental principles and values, I have b88n so proud lo have been the Chair of PAMIS. I hope that I have contributed in some small way to PAMIS'S success, but I will always be gratelul for the support Ihal PAMIS has provided to my family over the course of the last 33 years, and I will be delighted lo carry on that 8ss0ciation in the future as a family carer.

Profound means deep. it means wise, it means expert. People with PMLD and Ihelr family carers are some of the best educators that we have, leaching us how lo care, how to act with compassion, how to communicate, how lo work as a team to include Èveryone. Only when we bring together the expertise and knowledgo of a whole team including the person with PMLD, and their family carers do wa begin to understand the needs of this marginalised group of people and develop ways to ensure they realise their dreams and potential. PAMIS continues to work within ils 10-year strategy {2018-2028) that takas cognisance of this 8xpertise and recognise that change takes consistency in message ov8r time. Our strategy and ongoing work support Scottish policy and ensures a human rights approach underpins all that we do. It also ensures that the principles on which PAMIS was founded and continues lo operat8 under are met. These are..

THE PROFOUND AND MULTIPLE IMPAIRMENT SERVICE GOVERNORS. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 PAMIS progressed with their focus on 3 key priorities in order to support Iheir 10-year strategy. These are.. Priority 1 Health Inequalities - PAMIS wll work with partners and families to address the caus8s of preventable & avoidable mortality of children. young people and adults with PMLD. Priority 2 - Valuad and Induded - Communities will be supported lo develop valued and inclusive environments and activities that enable everyone lo lake part. Priority 3 - Family Carer Support - Family carers across Scotland will be provided with specialist support that enables them lo live healthy and inclusive lives and SUPFK)rts them in their caring role. We have had another busy year with a wide range of activity within each of these priorities and an incre8sin9 demand on our family support including intensive, critical support for families facing a range of issues. The lack of a social care workforce, social workers, limited day opportunities and respite seNices combined with limited appropriate housing, famlly carer exhaustion and dedine in mental wellbeing has added lo this need. We continued lo report, collaborate on solutions and contribute to national and local policy development, working and advisory groups, to address this complex arena. We provided a lengthy response lo the Learning Disability, Autism and Neurodivergence (LDANI 8111, reflecting on decades of engagement with people with PMLD and their families lo ensure that our response look cognisance of their wisdom and insights. We are now part of a third sector group looking at how we can conllnue to build on practice lo make positive change even without legislation. We remain core participants in the Scottish COVID Inquiry and as an organisalion alongside the famili8s we support have provided and continue lo provide written and verbal evid8nc8 to several portfolio areas. We are hopeful that this will not only make a difference lo any future pandemic but will also support the visibility of this forgotten and ignored community. We have also been approach8d to provide information to the UK Inquiry. All of these insights and engagement support our strategic directlon and ensure our priorities and servlces remain current and focuss8d. In terms of priorlty 1 we have been engaged in a number of Scottish and UK r8search projects that ensure the health inequalities are addressed and thal evldence-based inteNentions are implemanted. Examples include.. th8 cancer research that has been led by the Scottish Learning Disability Observatory {SLDO),' we also provided an interview for B8C Scotland regarding the mortality rales of people with a learnlng disability., collaborators on the NIHR {Nalional Instiluto for Health and Care Research) funded project 'Getting better Community engagomenl and partlcipation of 8dults with learning disabllilies,. Realist review, evaluation and co-production (CONNECTI,. BeatlT a UK research project supporting pèople with PMLD who have mental health issues through behavioural activation., INTERACT - intensive interacllon UK study for children and yOLtng people with PMLD. We also contributed lo Burdett Nursing research session on developing education with Napier University on what Learning disability nurses need lo know about resplratory funGtion. We have been working wth the Digital Health Inslitute. Fraser of Allander and the Scottish Commission for people with a leaming disability (SCLDI taking forward the recommendations from the SCLD research In supporting the key recommendation that 'The Scottish Government should support a co-produced learning disability pathfinder project utilising personal data stores to empower people lo interact with health and soclal care serwces. The PAMIS digital passporl as a loal to support thls ambition 1[ be induded.
THE PROFOUND AND MULTIPLE IMPAIRMENT SERVICE GOVERNORS. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Dlgital passport training continues and with an increased interest driven by s desire from services to eviden their commitment to hearing the voices of those who use the service and Ihe PAMIS passport enables this. We have provided training and advice to over 100 practitioners and sludents and to the families PAMIS supports. We have emphasised the need for the passport to be a basis for transitions into adult services or any new sérvica. It is also being considered within the annual health check to support communication and understanding with less familiar staff. Our commitment lo preparlng the next generalion of health and social care practitioners lo confidenlly engage with this margin81ised and invisible group of people and their families enabled over 20 students to have practice placements from a range of disciplines. In this current climate of care and staffing issues. this will remain a priority for us. We believe we are making an impact on the altitudes and knowledge and were delighted with a range of really positive feedback from our students .1 have never met such commitment to constantly seeking bigger and better goals and ensuring that families voices are heard it has wholeheartedly inspired me lo be a strong advocate as a clinician and to go into every new situation with an open mind and ready to learn.. Thank you for shadng your wealth of knowledge, passion and hopa for a more inclusive future I hope to remain passionate, curious, openminded and to challenge socielal "nomis" with grace and humility as l enter the OT field" We have also presenled at conferences for learning disability nurs8s and the learning disability sector of the Royal Colleg8 of Psychialrisls. We ar8 SUPPOrting the Children and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) Scottish conference in May 2025 and are part of the programme planning team. This will be a great opportunity to showcase our work on inclusive communities, bereavement and loss and the importance of families to support the knowledga and understanding of practitioners. PAMIS dellvered slx national laarnlng and development courses. indudlng two B8r8av8ment and Loss courses, one SOMA course, two Postural Care courses, and one Intensive Interaction course. A total of 68 individuals r8c8ived training, comprising 60 professionals and 8 family carers. We also secured funding for 8 3-year moving, handling and posilioning project which will involve family carers and moving and handling experts co-designing and then co- dellver(ng a 1-day course for family carers. Currently the project has been raising awareness of Ihe importancé of this education. gathering views from family carers and has mel with the expert advisory group. We continue to chair the Scottish postural Gare forum, connecting with over 70 praclilioners with an interesl in postural care and capturing any naw and relevant information for families. Wa also chair and supporl 4 workstreams of Your Posture Matters, Influenclng practice in postural ¢ar8. We hosted with the Alliance a roundtable "Changing the narrative- Plan for Life - What if we talked about children and young p80ple with a profound learning and multiple disabililles (PMLD) Ilving a full life ralher than a narrallve based on an expeclalion to die?.. From this a working group with key stakeholders will address the lack of plannSng that comes from low expectation and leads lo ill-prepared health and social care seNices and resources to support this growing population of young people with PMLD entering adulthood. The need for our suggested PMLD hub bringing together experts across discipllnes in health, education and social care also feeds into this discussion and a session was held with SLDO lo consider how lo sel this in mollon. We are progressing the conGept, by 8xploring Epilepsy in terms of bringing all specialists together lo consider the wider impact of this condition on people with PMLD. Family carers were engaged lo discuss their experience of epilepsy diagnosis, treatment and ongoing management. These findings will then inform the development of a roundlable with expert contributions including those from family carers. The range of spécialists involved in Ihis condition is vast and therefo highlights the PMLD hub concept of everyone working and collaborating for an improved outcome. This work was instigated by Chair of Board Pal Graham who has also been leading on a 7 year campaign regarding Acule Hospital Pathways for people wth PMLD. There has been some movement into a positive implementation of social care staff being enabled lo support the person with PMLD wilhln an acute setting. If this Fife protocol is effecliva, wa will encourage sharing across Scolland.
THE PROFOUND AND MULTIPLE IMPAIRMENT SERVICE GOVERNORS, REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 We have made strong roads inlo our ambitions for Outcome 2 not least because of the work that Maureen Phillip as Practice Development and Inclusive Culture Director has the done over the last 10 plus years. She and her team have developed evidence based, sensitive and indusive methods to establish and grow communities that are able lo confidently and compassionately indude people with PMLD and their families. We have utilised PDSA (Plan Do Study Act) improvement methodology lo grow interventions that can be rolled out across Scotland, and we h8ve been very fortunate lo have been given funds by various fundérs lo cary this work out. We are particularly grateful lo Shared Care Scotland who have recognised this vision and enabled the work to grow and also éncouraged us lo share both nationally and internationally. Through all the work undertaken In this area we have made significant progress in connecting people with Ihelr local communilies through stories. We have shown how people with PMLD can have gccess to lifelong learning opportunities through story as well as provide the community with Ihe support and understandlng about how lo adapt what they do lo accommodate them. Thls anables pèople wlth PMLD to have access lo the same opportunilles in life that everyone elsa has and for families lo have a day out and enjoy the experienco together. Supporting communities lo provide accessible and incluslve events that are purposeful, meanlngful but also lots of fun, supports people with PMLD and their familles lo find a place where they feal Ihey actU811y belong. There are several examples of Ihls and below is the story of our lourney with the Japanese Gardens, Cowden. Clackmannanshire. "The Japanese garden is a wonderful place to18am about the trees, planls and stories of the garden, 11 also offers opportunitios to learn about another culture. PAMIS developed four stories for the garden and these are being developed into digital resourcos for everyone lo use. These multi-sensory stories explore the development of the garden and some of the associated folklore. The garden is a wonderful place lo pass the lime quietly for relaxation or through the stories to engage more closely wlth and learn about the garden. The Japanese Garden is a charlty and they ar8 building a leaming centre on sile and in the future a visitor Gentre. 11 does not currently have a changing places lollel but PAMIS wlll be advising Ihem during the plannlng of the visilor centre as it is a v@nu8 that lends Itself to a wlde range of learning opportunitl8s. Future plans are lo apply for a grant Ihat Ilnks the garden and the digital r8sources with a garden In Japan further expanding knowledgé and experiences for people wlth PMLO and their families. This Is another community venue that opens up lifelong learning opportunitles for people with PMLD of all ages as well as providlng opportunilies for families to spend lime together leaing aboul and enjoying Ihe garden. A great day was had in the sunshine exploring the beautiful gardens, shadng the stories and making new friends. The Pamlloo was on hand lo support Ihe event and also to educate others in the n88d for fully accessible lollets for all. This example is the essence of what PAMIS does supporting Communities and venues to include all and to provide activities of meaning but also that are fun. build friendships and develop a sense of belonging for all, The approach once embedded supports communities lo go it alone and we were delighted that the National Gallerles of Scotland after initial support from PAMIS are now running a a range of activities inclLJding a summer club for children and young people with PMLO. Maureen Phillip supported Do Ho Suh exhibition Traclng fime, whlch explored the theme of home, by creating a multi-sensory story to be delivered at the gallery. This then enabled and facilitated families lo engage with the exhibition. The slories offer a way into exploring the exhibition as well as enabling and supporting them to be aware of what the gallery offers them in temis of further purposeful and meaningful activilles. We were delighted to learn at the beginning of Ihe year that the Northwood Trust are fijnding 8 3 year project lo develop and expand our exisling mullisensory story and narralive approaches and Greate a physical and virtual space that can be accessed by people with PMLD, their families and anyone SLJPPOrting them. The creation of a hub th2t pulls together all the strands of work that PAMIS currently undertakes, will provide opportunities for qualily lifelong learning experiences in whichever medium of storytelling that is chosen. This 3-year funding will support thé development of a self-sustaining model. Our role in the changing places toilet agenda within Scotland has intensified with an almost treble increase in enquiries and a closer collaboraknon with our ccFchairs MDUK. We have supported the Scottish Government with resource development for the future Scottish Changing Places toilet fund and are currently updating the guide to support appropriate design and development of this life changing resource. Links with organisalions, venues and services has increased this year and it was another very busy year for the Inobile changing places toilet - the Pamiloo. The interest in the facility was heightened by a BBC Scotland in depth interview with the team and a drive with the Pamiloo. We have also supported media inletviews across the country and are preparing for the 20th anniversary of the UK Changing PlaS Toilet Consortium. A tiny team but with a huge reach and our annual report is available on request. One of the highlights from the Indusive Communilies Director, Fiona Souter, that emphasises the progress is below:
THE PROFOUND AND MULTIPLE IMPAIRMENT SERVICE GOVERNORS. REPORT {INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 '1 met with and developed links with Environment team within Edinburgh Cty Council as part of a Iransfomiation project they are involved with.. We are embarking on an exciting initiative aimed at signlficantly enhantsing accessibility and inclusivity of our city's green spaces. with a particular focus on the development of public accessible toilets with Changing Places in three Edinburgh's parks- Inverleith. Leith Links and The Meadows. Our aim is to create public toilets that are truly accessible to everyone." I have joined their working group that meet regularly and share their views with senior management and key officers lo discuss and enhance public toilets accessibility In parks and green spaS across Edinburgh. This is a great opportunity lo ensure the voicès of people with PMLD are included and to influence the development and design process. ensuring that the final outcomes meet the needs of people with PMLD and their families" It has been an increasingly intense and emotionally charged arena for the Family Support Servic8s but their input and support enables us lo achieve our objectjV8 3. We recognise that developing new models of family support is now becoming more of a priority with the funding crisis within local authoritl8s and Health and Social Care Partnerships {HSCPs) and this year we lost funding in 2 areas and are still in conversation with a third. Altemative fundlng from Scoltlsh Government mental wellbeing grants have been accessed but these do not give the full family support service. The Clackm2nnanshire model of a wider team involvement has been eff6clive in building capacity in an area new lo PAMIS and we are supporting other areas to work differently to continue input but with less resource. Our healthy reserves have been essential in ensuring that families are not left without support and that highly skilled staff are retained. We are building on the success of the role of the inclusive leisure and culture staff in Fife in other areas and recognise th8t delivering f8mily support through accessible leisur8 and cultural events is proving beneficial in all areas. The routes into empatheti¢ employment funded by the Northwood trust has been delayed in ils completion due to slafting health issues. However the profile of this project was very visible within Scotlish Government and with other car8r organisations and is currently very relevant in tackling the equalities and poverty agendas. We have developed resources for our toolkit lo support family carers back into employment and our developing another resource for employers. To date we have employed 3 family carers within PAMIS as a result of this project and supported a further 4 to consider their joumey. In amidst the desperate situations that families find themselves in access to supporl and resources for the w811b8ing of both family carers and people with PMLD has been a light in a very dark tunnel. LaGk of resplte, se¢vices, fundSng. no social workers. disputes about care packages and some hoffific pracliGa in terms of Ghallonging guardianship means that a chance to meet together and have fun and support is very welcomed. Thls year Ihe team has provided a whole host of exciting, creative, innovative activities Ihal are being enjoy8d by Iha whole famlly Cold Water Therapy, Art, Music, Cr8alive Writing. Dance movement therapy, pony axe s, water sports, yoga, wrealh making, lo name a few. Our counselling seNice via the Manda Centre was also well utilised by over 30 familiesl carers. There have been new lifelong learning opportunities supporting people with PMLD to lake part in purposeful and méaningful activities within their communities. Lesley McLaren, family support seNice director in Lanarkshire won the VASLAN Third Sector Environmental and OutdoorAclivityAward at a ceremony in November. We have seen an increase in referrals , not all of whl¢h are appropriate, as families desp8rately try to find any support thay can in a diminSshing care arena. We are noticing an increase in younger families which enables us lo provide earlier support especially In terms of improving health outcomes with our postural care work for example. The Little Rays and Sunshine Clubs have had national education interest, and we ar8 keen to 8xplore how we stjpport other PAMIS areas to build on this. Th6 Glasgow Cty transition proj8Ct was once agaln fur)ded by th8 Lollery for whlch we are eternally grateful and has now slarted an inclusive lelsure club as part of the support for young people in transition. Thls has been well received by the young people and the families. It provides Ideas about future activity and support as wéll as maintaining friendships and dèveloping new contacts.
THE PROFOUND AND MULTIPLE IMPAIRMENT SERVICE GOVERNORS. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORT) {CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 We regularly attend national related groups. workshops and meetings to ensure the voice of our group are heard. This equates to over 40 different groups and forums. PAMIS persistently ensures that the issues faced by children, young people and adults with PMLD and their families are heard al every level of communities and within society as a whole. Attendance al a wide range pf local and national meetings, events and committees ensures that the most marginalised and invisible within our communilies are heard and considered. The benefits of being seen and heard is gradually increasing awareness and we are now frequently asked to attend events, provide evidence at parliamentary committees, meet with MSPS, speak at conferences and share inform21ion about the needs of this group of people and their famllles. Being part of groups, nelworks and meetings has also enabled stronger partnerships wlth other national third sector organisations ansuring collaboration rather than Cofnpetilion and having 8 unified voice on key messaging about inequalities and human rights violations. We have also shared resourcés. knowlodge 2nd expertise both locally, natlonally and indeed internationally. Our on the ground knowledge enables us to share some of the harrowing issues currently facing people with PMLD and their families. This in turn supports national organisalions lo understand the context for an Increase In complaints. support being r8quesled and in turn promotes the development of resources and education. We contributed to consullalions including Equality and Human Rights Mainstreaming.. provided evidence for the LDAN Bill and also for thé Physical Disability Commissioner at the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committees. We also joined a group with third sector organisations looklng at supported decislon making discussing the requirements for people with PMLD in order for this to b8 meaningful, safe and effective. Our Iralnlng for family carers lo enhance and support ¢helr caring role coniinues as mentioned earlier, but in additlon locally family support seICeS have run workshops includlng guardianship, welfare benefits, transllions and digltal passports. Some have been in person but others onllne and recorded so we are able lo reach a far wider audi8n¢e nationally. This summary covers some of the work we undertake to meel the needs of the community we so passionately serve and to 8tlempl to achieve our focussed objectives. In addition we govern, manage, develop and support the organisation and our wonderful highly skilled, dedicated and compassionate staff and volunteers. We are privileged lo have a small team of staff, PAMIS Board mefflbers and dedicated volunteers who work alongside creative, solution focussed families and of course people with PMLD, who even in Ihe midst of very difficult situations offér support and insights. We continue lo listen wilh all of our senses and work with this collective wisdom lo answer some of the most challenging questions and ¢ir¢umstances ever experienced. We believe that Ihis coming year should be the year of wllaboralion across all s8Ctors lo address these and look fOard lo future partnerships going fomard. FINANCIAL REVIEW The Gharity generated a surplus for the year of £29,492 (2024 - £80,799) and this has been taken lo reseNos. Income levels are consislenl with 12St year, decreasing slightly to £903,131 (2024; £940,211). Total expenditure increased lo £873,639 compared lo £859,412 in the previous year. Unrestricted funds at 31 st March 2025 amounted to £555.846. This level of general reserves allows charitable expendilure lo be made nolth$tandIng the irregular pattem of receipt of grants and donations. Of these funds, the Governors have designated £48,500 towards known projects to be undertaken in the coming year. Restricted funds were £381.674 at 31 st March 2025, and a detailed summary of these can be seen in note 24 to the accounts. 11 is th8 policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designaled for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between Ihree and six monlh's expendilure. The Govemors consider that r8S8rves at this level will ensure that. in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be abla to Gontinue the charity's current activities while consideralion is given lo ways in which additional funds may be raised. This year has seen an increase in the level of unrestricted funds held by the charity . The Governors have reviewed the accounts and also the budgets for this coming year and consider that the going concern basis for accounls preparation is applicable. The CharItS general reserves are healthy and this is required to ensure continuity of services and activities should there be any material drop in income. Scottish and local government constraints and continued inflation will all have an impacl upon charity funds going forward. As always Ihe Governors will continue lo monitor actual results over the coming months lo ensure budgets are kept, and lo address any problems quickly as they arise.
THE PROFOUND AND MULTIPLE IMPAIRMENT SERVICE GOVERNORS, REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Risk Register The CEO and Finance, Business and Developmenl DireGtor diusS risks and mitigation on an ongoing basis, and the organisalion has a policy of ansuring that all slaff, volunteers and families are involved in risk management all be it different types. Risks within the register fall into four main categories= GovemanGe, Operational, External and Financial. The key risks and controls are reviewed by the Finance Committee and by the senior management team on an ongoing basis and reported lo the Board on a quarterly basis. Actions are identified to respond lo risks lo ensure that all rnaior risks havé been identified and systems or procedures put in place in respect of these. The CEO and Senior M8nagemenl Team review all of the risks, both emerging and retiring, belween each 8oard Meeting. In addition, the CEO meets regularly with the Chair of Board for supporl and supeNision part of which is about minimising and mitigating for any financial. reputational and governance risk. Our policies and procedures that protect our organisalion are also reviewed and developed on a regular basis and the employment of an HR consultant provides further assurance in this area. We also benchmark our policies with other organisations and share best practl¢e between us. The Board are satisfiad that appropriate controls are in place in relation to the risks identified in th8 risk register. The current five key risks remain similar lo previous years and are highlighted below along with the mitigation action required. We hav8 a table of risks bul work with the lop S as a means of ensuring we are constantly working lo minimise impact. We have found the narrdliva approach to the why and how is beneficial to understanding and owning the risks Top Flve Rlsks and Mltigatlng Actlons as we leave thls reportlng perlod: l.Flnanclal vlablllty: As for previous years this remains a high risk and although our ScDttish Government grants have been more effectively distributed Ihis year locally there have been ongoing issues with local authority cuts and shortage of funds. This has yel again confirmed our need lo have robust and more extensive reseNes as we navigate alternative support for the families in these areas Ihal still require our services. We now have a team of staff who are skilled at application writing, and this has proved an effective mitigation and benefici81 investment of their lime. However, demand for grants and funding pots remains compelitive and we are having to increasingly rely on multi sourced funding in order to sustain core services like the family support seNice. As from the 1st April 2025 we will be the solo chair and administrator. of the UK Changing Places Toilat Consortium and with this an increased financial commitment that we have spent the year looking for solutions and contributions. Mitlgation: Wé will continue to maintain where possible larger reseryes to support services where funds are b8ing cul while we seek alternative funding. We will continue to source broader funding pipelines and seek partnarship funding opportunitles. These will indude exploring opportunities to work with changing places toilet suppliers as posslbl8 fund contributors. We will continue to seek match funding, ensure the families and people with PMLD as benefiGiarles are seen clearly thin the funding applications. and retain a high profile on social media and within the media ragarding our work and the community we support. We continue to maintain a high profile nationally and across Scottish Government Directorates, att8nding a range of meetings, cross party groups. completing consultations, working directly with government officials and sitting on national and local advisory panels etc. We ensure that our input into current national plans and groups highlight our unique contributions specifiGally focussed on children, young people and adults with PMLD and Iheir family carers. Our reporting is through Inspiring Scotland lo the learning disability team at the Scottish Government and highlights our contributions and the issues our community are facing. We keep funders updat8d with reports and also meeting with them. Locally we develop relationships across sectors and provide reports to our funders. We engage with local politicians and counclllors across Scotland and including areas where we have no family support setvice. We also engage with Scottish Government Ministers as and when required. We ale on the national tender and procurement alert for possible future service provision. 10
THE PROFOUND AND MULTIPLE IMPAIRMENT SERVICE GOVERNORS, REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 2. Complalnts and Grievances: This remains a key risk given the emotionally charged 6nvironmenl that families are finding themselves in with public sector serviGes. We are currenlly supporting families who are making official complaints, and this does impact on the workload of a small team as well as putting us in conflict wth local authorities that fund us. We also consider the réputational risk of a respected and valued organisalion. However, the risk of not standing beside families is far greater and we are proud to be seen as a reliable and rèsponsible support for those who have no voice. We are fréquently in the media and aware of the responsibility and risks that are associated with this espe¢ially when our media comments on inequalities may challenge larger public bodies. All of this contributes to the risk of an organisalion or individual becoming defensive and making a complaint about our service or staff. Mitigatlon: We have up to dale policies on policies on complaints and grievance supported by our HR consultant from whom we would also seek support and advi. We operate significant event analysis following any adverse or significantly positive avénls, so we are learning from experience. We provide regular support and supervision to staff lo raise concems including those about relationships with others and how lo manage conflict. Our safeguarding policy is fil for purpose and reflects all current guidance. All media response are vetted by the senior team and where appropriate the Board. We have a policy for social media and utiliz8 team meetings to discuss any contentious areas. We have a group of family carers who have been on media training. We have a dlver5e Board of Governors, so we have access lo skills in people and conflict management. 3. Retalning a hlghly skilled workforce and successlon planning: There has been very little change in our view of this risk although ¢urrenUy our mitigation appears to be effective. We have a highly specialised workforce who have a range of specific and unique skills lo engage and work wllh people with PMLD and their families. Some of this group have the prospect of retirement Including the CEO and the Incluslve Culture and Pracll¢e Development Director. Mitigation: We are developing a transition plan for retlrement which supports skill development of various team members and involvement of all in the planning for a new CEO. We continue lo invest in sludenl plaGernenls and opportunities for others lo work and learn from us. We continue to remew our terms and conditions to ensure we are offering competitive employmenl packages. All staff have support and supervision which includes idenllfying development opportunities and areas of upskilling to fill gaps for our succession planning as well as ensuring that they are supported in their role and personally with any issues particularly those with additional caring responsibilities. Counselling is sllll available, and we have a wellbeing app that also enables access to a 24-hour trauma helpline for staff. We continue to monilor our service against Fair Scotland standards. 4. Demand versus capaclty: This is also a retained high rlsk with demand continuing lo increase and the situation with the health and soclal care workforce remaining. The complexlty of input is perhaps slightly different. and we are now required lo support more letters of concern andlor complaint to senior managers and MSPS than in previous years. The increasing interest in incluslon continues lo create demand on teams as does the number of pollcies that requlre a stance from our communlty. The Scollish Government programme fund for changlng places toilets has seen an Sncrease In our workload and this will rise as the fund comes oul. We have had challenges with staff sickness of a couple of key staff and demanding caring roles which has challenged a small workforce team. Mitlgation: We report lo both local and national govemment the issues we are encountering with famlly Garer démand for services. We are vocalising the need for longer term funding and contlnue lo develop alternative models of family support including drawSng on the wider toam. We are providing and buying in consultancy. We are reviewing current roles and séeking additional hours for staff or developing new roles lo support bottlenacks. Our student workforca on practice placement are provided with specific projects that support our workload bul provlde them with excellent experiences. Our empathetic roules inlo employment that looks lo support family carers into employment and employers to provide best practice is also a resource for us to reflect on and lo support our practi. 11

Responslbilities of Governors As explained more fully in the statement of Govemors. responsibllities, the Governors. who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company18w. 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 Governors determine is necessary to enable the preparalion of financial slalements that are free from material misslalemenl, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Governors are responsible for assessing the charity's ability lo contlnue as a golng nceM, disdosing. as applicable. matters related to going concern and using the going concem basis of accounting unless the Governors either intend to liquidate the charitable company or lo cease operations, or have no r8alistic alternative but lo do so. Audltor's responslbllltSes for the audit of the flnanclal statements We have bèen appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and seclion 44{1 l(cl of the Charltles and Trustee Inveslmenl {Scotland) Act 2005 and rgport in a¢¢ordance with the Acts and relevant regulations mad8 or havlng effect thereunder. Our objectives are to obtain re8sonable assurance aboul whether the financial statements as a whole are free from rnaterlal misstatement, whether due lo fraud or error, and to issue an audlloes report that includes our opinlon.

The exlenl to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below. 16-
THE PROFOUND AND MULTIPLE IMPAIRMENT SERVICE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE GOVERNORS OF THE PROFOUND AND MULTIPLE IMPAIRMENT SERVICE Our approach lo identifying and assessing the risks of malerial misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulalions, was as follows- we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussion with Govemors and management and for an incorporated charily within the care sarvice we deem these lo be standard company laws and charity regulations which have a direct impact upon the financial statements (Compar)ies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011. Charities and Trnslee Investment (Scotlandl Act 2005, Charities Accounts (Scolland) Regulations 2006, and the Charities SORP). In addition to this laws and regulations having an impact upon the operations of the charity are deemed to be those relating to employment law and health and safety regulations. in particular in regard to service users., the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team were aware of this and collectively had appropnate competence, capabilities and skills lo recognize non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations over the course of their audit work,. We assessed the susceptibility of the charily's finanaal statements lo material misstslement, including obtaining an understanding of how fr8ud & errors might occur, by.. making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was a susceplibilily to fraud, and their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud,. and considering the internal controls in place to miligate risks of fraud and olher errors and non compliance with laws and regulations. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and overrfde of controls, we., performed a full comparison of Ihe annual resulls lo identify any unusual or unexpected amounls,. lest8d lournal entries to identify any unusual transactions., reviewed and assess8d the disclosure of related paty transactions and the confirmations of the Governors n relation to this.. considered whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting eslimates wera indicative of potential bias., and investigated the rationale behind significanl or unusual transactions where found. To address the presumed risk of revenue recognition we: Performed income testing from th8 earliest point of the recording cyde, over the range of Incom8 strands, Including the grant register and minutes of governors meetings., We lesled the allocation of Income by reference lo the und8rfying documentation and Included cut-off tests lo ensure allocation to the correct period-, Where necessary we considered any estimates used In relation to income recognition. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we design&d procedures which included. but were not limited lo., reviewing financlal slatemenl disclosures and agreement to underlying supporting documentation discussion wlth management over any aclu81 or potential litlgalion or claims against the charity,. reviewing minutes of Govemors. meelings, correspondence with relevant regulatars and legal advisors where any potential non-compliance exists- and discussions with management detailing high level review of tha activities of the year, and Investigation of any matters that would impact upon the financial statements. Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, induding those leading to a material misstatemenl in the financial statements or non-complian with regulations. This risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due lo fraud rather than error. as fraLkl involves inlenlional concealment, forgery, collusion or misrepresentation. 17-
