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.

PAMIS - Promollng a more Inclusive soclety - is the only organisation that works solely for people with profound
learnlng and multiple disabilities (PMLD) and their family carers to ensur8 they have access to healthy, valued and
Includ8d lives.
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..
People with PMLD are valued both as individuals and for the contribution they make lo Ihe community.

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

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.

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 lea￿ing 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 Pla￿S 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 spa￿S 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.

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

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 no￿lth$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 CharIt￿S 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.

GOVERNORS, REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Risk Register
The CEO and Finance, Business and Developmenl DireGtor di￿usS 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.

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￿.

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.
