practice. This will continue to bring optimal benefit to all those using the services and relying on the
expertise of clinicians and excellence of research in translating results into best evidence-based practice.
Achievements and Performance
ACAMH continued to benefit from the marked shift in online delivery or learning, which led to an
expanding international audience, including delegates from countries we had previously never seen
interest from, thereby allowing us to further accelerate our vision of 'Sharing best evidence, improving
practice,.
The Association continued its successful online dissemination activity, with over one million web visits.
Our excellent podcast series was further expanded with the creation of three mini-series, led by ACAMH
young ambassadors, around the topics of RESHAPE. Oxwell, and Racism and Mental Health. There were
around 100,000 listens of our podcast series across the year, proving the value of this initiative.
Our ACES Special Interest Group ran seven free webinars across the years, attracting over 6,000
registrations.
Full time Undergraduate / Masters membership tier
Following the launch of the new membership tier, Interest from students in joining ACAMH was clear, with
over 200 new applications welcomed, including some from overseas bodies, the £5 fee making it accessible
for most.
In amongst other benefits, many students also took advantage of the offer to attend any ACAMH event for
a £5 fee, as often as desired during their studies (except for specialist events like Master Classes), thereby
facilitating access to speakers and talks that they may traditionally never have been able to comfortably
afford to access.
Increasing international impact

ACAMH membership started to gain traction, with 70 professionals taking up the offer.

Diversity
ACAMH has always worked to ensure that its policies and practices are shaped by the perspectives of
diverse groups within society generally and the mental health and allied professions more specifically. As
part of this ongoing commitment, the Association worked towards enacting a policy enshrining these
principles.
Journals
The journals continued to show growth throughout 2024, attracting higher number of submissions.
The Journal of Child Psychology & Psychiatry {JCPPI continues to be the top journal in developmental
psychology attracting very high volume of submissions.
Child and Adolescent Mental Health ICAMH). our prartitioner-focused journal, is leading important debates
in the field. Some of the topics covered are - Where to nextfor universal school-based mental health
interventions? and Urban versus rural environments - which is betterfor mental health ? The one good thing
about o small town...
JCPP Advances (JCPPAI which completed 4 years of publishing in 2024, has been indexed in Pubmedcentral

author and editor experience. The journals are closely monitoring the developments in Al in publishing and
its impact.
Events and CPD activity
Whilst online-only events continued to be the norm, a limited number of face to face events did take place
in 2024 to meet specific training needs. The formats of our webinars continued to be flexible and reflect the
ti me constraints or our delegates. Pricing continues to be accessible to all and free events play their part in
our programme.
Our three flagship conferences, the Emanual Miller International Conference, the Jack Tizard International
conference and the Judy Dunn International conference featured speakers of international reputation and
generated significant interest from delegates, including many from outside the UK.
The impact of the online-only approach is not restricted to our flagship conferences. World class speakers
can, and do, take part in smaller events and delegates from around the world are able to join our smaller
events or webinar series.
The Association has been heavily reliant on volunteers to create our events. Many of these volunteers are
working in roles where there are increasing demands on their time. To reduce reliance on these volunteers,
and to be able to deliver a broad event programme that continues to meet the needs of delegates, a new
events strategy was implemented at the end of 2024. This strategy included the recruitment of a clinician
to lead a team of staff with the vision to deliver a revitalised programme from 2025.

Risk management
The Trustees are responsible for overseeing an effective, flexible, and responsive risk management
strategy. The Board seeks to achieve a balanced approach in respect of all material and relevant risks,
considering the wider context together with internal plans. The Association has a risk register in place with
risks rea55essed on an ongoing basis.
The Board can confirm that:
the risk management policy is reviewed to optimise fitness for purpose
internal systems of checks and balances have been established to ensure that all necessary steps
can be, and have been, taken to identify and pro-actively manage risks
appropriate levels of risk have been always maintained and
the management of risk is integrated into business strategy and processes and embedded into all
levels of the Association
The current main risks identified are as follows:
Reliance on incomefrom the Association's three journals
Income from publication of our journals represents approximately 60% of our annual income, with
income from JCPP being predominant. We continue to seek ways to diversify our sources of income
to reduce reliance on income publications. This includes, but is not limited to, letting out office
space within our building and ensuring conferences and training events are financially viable.
Inobility to attrart sufficient paying delegates to the Association's conferences and training
events
We continue to find ways to maximise the impact of our events programme and, as part of our
strategy to reduce reliance on our income from our journals. to maximise the income from those
events. This includes ensuring that we create a wide-ranging programme of events, monitor
feedback from delegates to ensure that our events meet their needs and the regular review of
marketing strategies.

Sudden loss of a key member of staff through resignation or long-tem? illne55
In common with many other organisations, the Association relies on a small team of staff to deliver
the objectives of the Association, including a number of key personnel. The sudden loss of such a
key member of staff could lead to a loss of organizational knowledge and a hiatus in the delivery of
charitable objectives. Contracts include longer notice periods for strategically important posts to
mitigate against this.
Financial Review
The Association is reporting a deficit for the year of £63,74712023: £896,701 surplus) with income from
publications remaining the primary source of revenue. The freehold property owned by the A550ciation was
redesignated from a tangible fixed asset to an investment property in 2023 and is included at £1,950,000
following a professional valuation. The Association has continued to Eenerate income through membership
subscriptions, event and conference activities and the letting of office space. This self-sufficiency has
enabled it to remain independent and free to apply income in the best possible way to achieve its
objectives and optimise benefits to members and the wider child and adolescent mental health community.
Reserves Policy
The current economic climate, together with changes in the world of academic publishing, reinforces the
importance of having a reserves policy in place and of retaining sufficient funds to manage the Association's
activities through less stable periods. The Trustees, policy is to have reserves equal to no less than six
months, operating costs to provide a hedge against uncertainties surrounding the core income and to even
out any fluctuations in operating revenues. The Trustees are satisfied that the required level of reserves,
currently identified as £734,000, is adequately covered by the year-end unrestricted funds.
The 'free reserves, of the Association at December 31. 2024 were £3,703,65212023: £3,649,939). These
reserves are defined as the resources the charity can make available to spend on charitable purposes once
it has met its existing commitments and covered its other planned expenditure. The Trustees recognise that
the current level of free reserves is more than the stated policy. The Trustees continue to be mindful of
this, and will continue to explore new initiatives that will maximise impact and delivery of charitable
objectives.
Funds Held at the end of the Year
At the end of the year, the Association had unrestricted funds totaling £3,711.36012023: £3,775,107).
Unrestrirted funds include an investment property valued at £1,950.000. The trustees designated a fixed
asset reserve of £7,70812023: £6,413) being the net book value fixed assets to reflect the fact that this
amount could only be realised by disposing of the assets held by charity in use and did not therefore form a
part of the free reserves. Restricted funds of £21,035 are held in respect of the activities of the Child and
Adolescent Intellectual Disability Psychiatrist Network (CAIDPN).
