## **A Message from the Chair**
## _**Reflecting Back and Looking Forward – 30 Years of the Ann Craft Trust**_
It is with pleasure and some considerable pride, that I welcome you to this Annual Report, for the year to July 2022, a very important milestone in the history of the Ann Craft Trust.
On behalf of the fabulous team at The Ann Craft Trust, I commend this report to you. I hope that you will take the opportunity to read about some of the highlights of this year and consider some of the achievements that are detailed. There are numerous exciting and interesting initiatives that I would invite you to consider.
My strong belief is that The Ann Craft Trust continues to play a leading role in the safeguarding community and I am confident that the content of this annual report substantiates this observation.
For example, the annual Safeguarding Adults Week has become something of a galvanising event, for safeguarding practitioners in a wide variety of organisations, clubs and societies. The 2021 week was even more successful than previous years. The events in the week as a whole reached millions of people through the webinars, external activities and social media platforms. The week featured a range of topics and contexts with The Ann Craft Trust exploring a number of viewpoints associated with creating safer cultures and identifying abusive relationships. Particular priority was given, for example, to highlighting issues of adult grooming and exploitation in the digital world.
Taking time to reflect on the longevity and resilience of The Ann Craft Trust has reinforced my conclusion that the key strength of the Trust lies in the team’s immensely positive and generous approach to partnerships. For instance, the partnerships developed over the last five years with Sport England, UK Sport and Sport Wales have helped to lead to some truly significant initiatives and developments such as the Safeguarding Adults in Sport Framework.
The Ann Craft Trust is registered as a charity (No. 1086592) & is a company limited by guarantee (No. 4080805)
Beyond these sport partnerships, The Ann Craft Trust continues to nurture, maintain and promote productive relationships with local authorities, care providers, the NHS, recreational groups and other organisations in keeping with the developments of the first 30 years of the Trust.
May I take the opportunity here to give particular thanks to the following:
- Deborah Kitson (CEO) for outstanding leadership and continuing dynamism and challenge.
- All of the Ann Craft Trust staff team for their commitment and fantastic knowledge and skills.
- The Associate Trainers who deliver much of the training and maintain such high quality of work and continue to enhance the reputation of The Ann Craft Trust.
- My fellow Trustees and specialist advisors who give their time and expertise to ensure that The Ann Craft Trust is supported in its work.
- The University of Nottingham who provide us with a meaningful home and support from the School of Sociology and Social Policy.
- Finally, thanks to those of you who support The Ann Craft Trust in other important ways. Events such as Safeguarding Adults Week would not be possible or successful without your ongoing participation and commitment to acting against abuse and exploitation.
This year we were truly saddened to lose one of our loyal Trustees, Professor Penny Standen, to cancer. Penny herself contributed greatly to the work of The Ann Craft Trust and to research and development with regard to safeguarding and safer relationships for over 30 years. Over the last year in particular, Penny played a crucial role in helping The Ann Craft Trust to revise our strategic aims and priorities and to think creatively about the future. Penny’s energy, clarity and positive thinking will be greatly missed and we are greatly indebted to Penny for her contributions.
Thank you for taking the time to read this report. All of us at The Ann Craft Trust look forward to working with you over the coming 30 years!

## **CEO Report**
2022 is a special year for the Ann Craft Trust as we celebrate our 30th anniversary. There have been events throughout the year looking at the work that has been done over the years, what has been achieved and, importantly, what we need to focus on in the next 30 years.
Ann established NAPSAC as she realised that the safeguarding of children and adults with learning disabilities was not being properly addressed. While there was a strong movement supporting the rights of people with learning disabilities to be offered wider opportunities and increased independence, that could only be achieved through also ensuring that they were safeguarded in order to enjoy those freedoms.
As part of this, and to celebrate 30 years of the Ann Craft Trust, we put together a Safeguarding Time Capsule. This has been a chance to reflect on how safeguarding and disability rights have evolved over the past 30 years and to share the sort of changes we would like to see in the coming years.
This year has been yet another challenging year as the effects and aftermath of the pandemic were felt by all. There was a degree of uncertainty about the future and what this would look like. The team has responded in its usual positive and energetic manner, with their commitment to safeguarding never wavering. Training and consultancy continued online, though people are now enjoying a slow return to face-toface meetings and training and have enjoyed the positive effects of meeting in person rather than via a screen. Our eLearning platform has been further developed and has proved to be a successful new addition to the training we offer.
The team has grown over the year. Emma Gibson has joined The Ann Craft Trust as Head of Safeguarding Adults in Sport and Sarah Nolan has joined as Sport Administrator. Matthew Harrop now works with Julie in Finance, Hazel Rippin has joined Marketing. And we have continued to be supported by our wonderful safeguarding consultants and Team of Associate Trainers
The Ann Craft Trust is registered as a charity (No. 1086592) & is a company limited by guarantee (No. 4080805)
all of whom have contributed enormously to the work this year. I would like to say a big thanks to all the people above and including the Trustees and Management Team who have offered their support this year, and the University of Nottingham, that continues to support us so generously.
But I need to specifically acknowledge the work of one of our Trustees. It was with great sadness that we heard the news that Professor Penny Standen, Trustee of The Ann Craft Trust, died on 8th July 2022 after a brave battle with cancer. Penny was a supporter of the Trust since its inception in 1992 and she worked with Ann Craft on several research projects. She became a Trustee after her retirement in 2017 and despite her illness she continued in this role contributing and advising on the future direction of the charity until the very last. The Ann Craft Trust team is grateful for her commitment and contribution to their work. Penny was a great and loyal friend and colleague to so many and is sadly missed by all.
As part of Safeguarding Adults Week 2021 we hosted our annual Safeguarding Adults Conference. We collaborated with Small Steps, Operation Repeat and Daphne Franks, who leads the campaign Justice for Joan. The conference created a unique opportunity to raise awareness of how adult grooming can be experienced across the life course. It explored forms of grooming and exploitation that adults are increasingly at risk from, but in many sectors are rarely discussed. Professor Todd Landman, ProVice-Chancellor, Faculty of Social Sciences, chaired the day, and we received excellent feedback from those attending.
During the week we also held our AGM with an online seminar ‘Online Grooming and Sexual Abuse: A Personal Account’ delivered by RhiannonFaye McDonald **,** Subject Matter Expert at the Marie Collins Foundation. So many people attended to hear Rhiannon speak candidly about her personal experiences and to answer questions.
In 2021 your support helped us to reach almost 80 million people on social media. So we’d like to say a massive thank you to anyone who took part. You have helped raise awareness of some vital safeguarding issues.
The Ann Craft Trust is registered as a charity (No. 1086592) & is a company limited by guarantee (No. 4080805)
The Ann Craft Trust has continued to deliver an increased number of training events and safeguarding audits over the year. We have been fortunate to partner with many organisations and to support them in their own commitment to provide safer services and to ensure that they have the needs of the people they support and work with at the centre of what they do.
For the past four years The Ann Craft Trust’s contracts with Sport England, UK Sport and Sport Wales have included working with participants and athletes. The purpose is to ensure that the voices of adult participants and athletes are integral to the development of the Trust’s safeguarding adults in sport and activity service.
The team has a new project brief which is part of Sport England’s “Uniting the Movement” ten-year strategy. In particular the team will be seeking the perspectives of those taking part in sports and activities, who may be potentially marginalised due to age or (dis)ability, race, gender, sexual orientation or any other characteristic that might lead to potential inequality of opportunity or treatment while pursuing sports and activities.
The 2022 Ann Craft Trust and CPSU Safeguarding Adults and Children in Sport Conference took place on Zoom over two mornings in January this year. From ‘Learning Lessons to Taking Action’, the conference challenged attendees to create a safer place for all children and adults in their organisation, whatever their role. Annamarie Phelps CBE, the current Chair of the British Horseracing Authority and Vice Chair of the British Olympic Association, chaired. She also provided introductory sessions on both days, and conducted the panel discussions at the end of each day. The conference included:
- How participants ensure that their organisation is operating a safer culture for participants of all ages, abilities, race, cultures, sexuality, sex, and gender
- Protecting and safeguarding the wellbeing of those taking part
The Ann Craft Trust is registered as a charity (No. 1086592) & is a company limited by guarantee (No. 4080805)
- How organisations ensure that everyone feels able to share any concerns at an early stage How organisations ensure that everyone feels confident to interrupt or question poor practice, lower-level concerns and or abusive behaviours.
And this year saw our second year of the #SaferCultureSaferSport campaign. We are encouraged by the number of organisations that have already pledged their support and hope this will continue to grow. We have created a dedicated online #SaferCultureSaferSport hub. It features lots of resources, including dedicated podcasts, to help to explore the central ideas of Listening, Learning and Leading. This page can also be used to make a #SaferCultureSaferSport commitment and to sign up for updates on the campaign.
Sport England has also funded the Ann Craft Trust to develop a system to help organisations to establish and promote best practice in sport and activity. The Safeguarding Adults in Sport Framework has been developed using our expertise in safeguarding adults audits. We are really pleased that in 2022 completion of the Framework became a mandatory requirement and a condition of Sport England and UK Sport funding for Active Partnerships, National Governing Bodies and Sports Organisations.
We continue to hold #ACTSafeguardingHour every Wednesday on Twitter, 12.00—1.00, when we ask and respond to any questions or concerns about Safeguarding. This is an opportunity to discuss safeguarding matters with an online community of practitioners.
As well as the team there has been further growth in the organisations that The Ann Craft Trust supports and the diversity of organisations that we work with has expanded beyond the more traditional social care and health providers. We now work across Arts, Leisure and Refugee
organisations to name but a few. We have also maintained the ‘influencer’ role that Ann carried by working across government departments and the regulatory sectors.
The Ann Craft Trust is registered as a charity (No. 1086592) & is a company limited by guarantee (No. 4080805)
Finally I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support over the years and for your shared commitment to safeguard adults at risk and disabled young people. The Ann Craft Trust has so many friends and partners who work collaboratively to ensure that everyone is treated with the dignity and respect that is their right and to challenge abusive practices and cultures.

## **Financial Review**
The Statement of Financial Activities shows a net surplus of £51,425 (2021
£11,438 deficit) for the year.
Reserves stand at £325,280 (2021 £273,854).
Total income for the year is £701,134 (2021 £562,999) an overall increase of
24%.
Income split - Restricted £386,959 (55%) Unrestricted £314,174 (45%).
The Ann Craft Trust is registered as a charity (No. 1086592) & is a company limited by guarantee (No. 4080805)
20/21 split 65%/35% respectively. This further reflects the increase in nongrant funded activities.
Training and consultancy income has increased by 63% on 20/21, which reflects the growing demand for training as well as audits and reviews.
Grant Income is up 6%. Grant expenditure was slower than predicted, impacting on grant income recognised. A program of projects and activities has been agreed with the funders for the underspend which will be included in income for 22/23.
The Trust’s main income streams are as follows:
- Sport England grant received £301,000 (£305,000 recognised in year - £5k from previous years funding) primarily supporting the SE funded organisations and the development of the Safeguarding in Sport Framework.
- UK Sport grant received £53,000 (£54,000 recognised in year - £1k spend from previous year) primarily supporting Safeguarding Adults in elite sports.
- Sport Wales grant received £35,000 (£28,000 recognised in year) supporting Safeguarding Adults at risk with NGB’s
- Training income (Adults £181,000; young people £37,000)
- Consultancy Income £87,000
Expenditure has seen an increase in staff costs of 8%. This includes the new post of Head of Safeguarding Adults in Sport appointed in May 2022.
Non staff costs have increased overall by 38%, mainly due to associate trainer costs, which have more than doubled on the previous year, but reflecting the increase in training delivered.
## **Reserves policy**
The reserves policy agreed by the Trustees is six months running costs (estimated at £240,000).
The Ann Craft Trust is registered as a charity (No. 1086592) & is a company limited by guarantee (No. 4080805)
This estimate is based on total staff costs, excluding staff wholly grant funded that have less than 2 years’ service, plus office running costs.
## **Staff Recruitment**
The trustees, with the Chief Executive Officer and other members of the Management Committee, have reviewed the organisation’s staff structure, taking account of the revised strategy and predicted income. As a result, an additional senior managerial post has been created so that the Senior Management Team consists of the CEO, Head of Safeguarding Adults and Young People and Head of Adults in Sport. We have successfully recruited to the Adults in Sport post to complete this team and have also recruited an additional part time finance officer.
All roles are job matched using the University of Nottingham’s Job Family process. A Job Family describes a number of roles which are engaged in the same or similar kind of work. Job Family modelling is a process of analysing work within a job family to identify levels of work based on accountabilities, performance measures, skills and competencies. A completed job family considers how many levels of that type of work there are, and describes key factors, which differentiate one level from the next.
All Ann Craft Trust staff are appointed according to the levels in the Administrative, Professional and Management job family.
## **Introduction to Trust activities**
During this year the Trustees, with the CEO and other members of the Management Committee, have developed a strategic plan for 2022-25, as follows:

## **Activities Summary**
Here is a summary of some of the Trust’s recent and current activities during 2021/22. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to know more about any of our projects or our services generally. Further information about all our work can be found at www.anncrafttrust.org.
## **Safeguarding Adults in Sport**
Sport England have agreed to a 5 year funding agreement which commenced in April 22 and is aligned to the objectives of their 10 year strategy Uniting the Movement. This funding covers support for formal sporting organisations and those who offer a less traditional sporting route.
We have just completed our first 6 monthly report which went well and we will continue to report now at 6 monthly intervals.
More sports are now working through the Safeguarding Adults in Sport framework. There has not been the rush we anticipated when the completion of it was confirmed as mandatory for sports in receipt of Sport
The Ann Craft Trust is registered as a charity (No. 1086592) & is a company limited by guarantee (No. 4080805)
England and/or UK Sport funding. However, this is giving us the time to refine our methods of assessment and to iron out some issues with the online system.
There is regular and increasing engagement with recognised sports, informal sports, sporting organisations and Active Partnerships in relation to training, resources and advice and information. Board and Advanced level training is being delivered regularly by the Sports Team and we are establishing a list of approved tutors to assist with the roll out of club level/welfare officer open courses.
We have now been funded for three years by UK Sport (further funding awarded) to provide similar services across their funded sport organisations including elite sports and again the training offer is growing with bespoke training being delivered for athletes and support staff in conjunction with the British Athletes Commission.
Sport Wales has continued to fund us. Despite some recruitment issues this year, we have some cover in place in Wales and have recruited a tutor to support training requirements while we look to establish a full time role with more than 12 months funding in place. This should be more attractive to job seekers.
We are now in Year 2 of the #SaferCUltureSaferSport with over 60 organisations signed up and committed to addressing poor culture in sport. With the release of the Whyte Report in June this gives us further comfort, if any were needed, that this is a valuable campaign and worthy of support.
The Ann Craft Trust Safeguarding in Sport team, while funded by the various funding bodies, works collaboratively as appropriate and also works with the other funded safeguarding partners in sport. Their reach is growing year on year.
The Ann Craft Trust is registered as a charity (No. 1086592) & is a company limited by guarantee (No. 4080805)
## **Training and Consultancy**
The Ann Craft Trust has continued this year to offer a wide range of training across the statutory and independent and voluntary sectors on all issues relating to the safeguarding of adults at risk and disabled young people. We have again had the opportunity to offer external safeguarding consultancy to a number of national organisations and continue to be the external representative/critical friend on a number of National Safeguarding Groups.
The Ann Craft Trust has seen an increasing demand this year for safeguarding audits and again across more diverse organisations than in the preceding year. This shows a high commitment to safeguarding across all sectors.
Training is in high demand from an increasingly diverse range of organisations and this includes face to face and online training as well as The Ann Craft Trust’s new eLearning courses. The feedback from commissioning agencies has again continued to be excellent this year.
The core staff team deliver training and each sector of the charity, adults, young people and sport. A team of Associate Trainers assist in the delivery of training.
## **Marketing and Communications**
Our regular, ongoing communication strategies include maintaining a social media presence (and a weekly dedicated “Twitter Hour”), updating our blog and website, and sending monthly sport updates, quarterly Safeguarding Bulletins, and other occasional email updates.
Some headline figures for the period 2021 – 2022:
- 3,610 people are subscribed to the quarterly bulletin, and 2,848 are subscribed to the monthly sport update.
- We currently have 3,393 Twitter followers. In this 12-month period we had 482,842 Twitter impressions.
- We had 443,149 website visits from 357,916 unique users.
The Ann Craft Trust is registered as a charity (No. 1086592) & is a company limited by guarantee (No. 4080805)
Beyond these ongoing communication strategies, in this period we’ve been focused on three other campaigns – promoting our eLearning platform, our #SaferCultureSaferSport campaign, and our annual Safeguarding Adults Week awareness raising event.
## **eLearning**
The total number of users registered to our e-Learning platform is now over 1015. There are 95 private groups from various sectors, with administrators reporting on their groups. This includes the care, charity, sport, housing, leisure and creative arts & theatre industries.
200 new users have registered in 2022. This year, we have worked to make our courses more accessible, and we’re currently working on renewing our Club Standards course for relaunch during Safeguarding Adults Week in November 2022.
We have three new courses in development for 2023 that will cover safeguarding young people, safeguarding in the unregulated sport and leisure sectors, and a greater breadth of legislation.
## **#SaferCultureSaferSport**
This is a campaign for sport and activity organisations to work towards creating safer cultures where welfare, safety and wellbeing is at the heart of values and actions.
In the first year of the campaign, we reached 3 million on social media, with 1,800 interactions and 1,300 shares. The campaign homepage on our website has been visited 8,830 times. We’ve run four events related to the campaign, which saw 253 unique attendees. Finally, we’ve published nine podcasts, which have collectively been listened to 829 times.
## **Safeguarding Adults Week 2021**
Safeguarding Adults Week 2021 took place 15 – 21 November.
The Ann Craft Trust is registered as a charity (No. 1086592) & is a company limited by guarantee (No. 4080805)
Each day of the week we aimed to raise awareness about some key safeguarding issues:
- Emotional Abuse and Safeguarding Mental Health.
- The Power of Language.
- Digital Safeguarding.
- Adult Grooming.
- Creating Safer Cultures.
- Safeguarding and You.
We created a suite of resources to help people start vital conversations about these issues. And we encouraged people to use our hashtag when sharing these resources on social media: **#SafeguardingAdultsWeek.**
## **The Week in Numbers**
We tracked the performance of our **#SafeguardingAdultsWeek** hashtag, as well as a few variations: #AdultSafeguardingWeek;
#SafeguardingAdultsWeek2021; #NationalSafeguardingAdultsWeek and #NationalSafeguardingWeek.
Here’s how they performed on Twitter across the week:
- **79.4 million** people reached by the hashtags.
- **59.5 thousand** interactions.
- **47.4 thousand** shares.
Safeguarding Adults Week launched in 2018. In 2019, we reached just over 5.5 million on social media. In 2020, this number grew to around 12.5 million. So we’re continuing to see significant growth, and we are confident that 2022’s week will be the most successful yet.

The Ann Craft Trust is registered as a charity (No. 1086592) & is a company limited by guarantee (No. 4080805)
## **Independent examiner’s report on the accounts**
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (Accounts and Audit) Order 2015 and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## Section A: Independent examiner’s report
Independent examiner’s statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention to indicate that:
- accounting records have not been kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006;
- the accounts do not accord with such records:
- where accounts are prepared on an accruals basis, whether they fail to comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006, or are not consistent with the Charities SORP (FRS102)
The Ann Craft Trust is registered as a charity (No. 1086592) & is a company limited by guarantee (No. 4080805)
- any matter which the examiner believes should be drawn to the attention of the reader to gain a proper understanding of the accounts.
