Staff changes during the year
We were delighted to welcome Anna-Dialechti Koloni. who joined the staff team in the role of
Child Health Community Champions Lead. With the uncertainty of funding, Anna left the service
at the end of March 2024 to further develop her career. During her tenure, Anna was an
outstanding member of the team who applied herself diligently to achieve best outcomes for the
service. We wish Anna the very best for the future.
Thanks to securing short-term funding from Awards for All, we were able to appoint Abigail
Weekes-Lowe as the SEND Advocate. Funding was used to pilot the service for seven months;
however, owing to demand and the success of the service. the Trustees decided to extend the
service for a further three months by using the unrestricted reserves. Regrettably, we were
unable to secure further funding to continue the project, and accordingly Abigail's contract
ended on 30 April 2024.
Starfish
We are delighted to announce that Reaching Communities has awarded £308,304 to this
project. Using the new funding, the project started on 4 March 2024. Thanks to the previous
success of the project, we have recommissioned Lynne McKinstry, on a freelance basis, to lead
the project.
About Starfish
The Starfish Project enables children to develop communication. social and educational skills in
order to participate fully in their education and reach their full potential. Children at risk of social
exclusion will have access to an enriching programme of support, which will lead to an
improvement in emotional wellbeing, more participation in school and the wider community and
engagement with learning.
Transition from primary to secondary school is an extremely challenging time in some children's
lives, especially for those children who may already be at risk of social exclusion and
underachieving. Evidence shows that children are often emotionally, socially and linguistically
unprepared for the change. These concerns often begin in years 4 and 5 and those children
who are already vulnerable (because of family circumstances, special educational needs and
speech and language issues) face particular and specific challenges which affect their
attainment, participation. self-esteem, wellbeing and progress in the final years of primary
school. Children with low levels of self-esteem and subjective wellbeing are often not equipped
with the tools and strategies to cope with such a huge change in their lives and benefit from
specific, targeted support to be able to deal with the challenges ahead.
Starfish will support primary age children in Key Stage 2 who are at a disadvantage in terms of
their chances of making a successful transition to secondary school, to develop the skills and
confidence to participate, engage with learning, value themselves and believe in their capacity
to progress and do well both socially and academically. The project will show them how to
present themselves positively and how to engage with other people as well as building social
capacity and developing strategies they can use to progress and achieve.

The core elements and project pathways will promote stronger personal, social and academic
performance as well as developing equal access to wider opportunities and a range of different
experiences. The project will improve self-esteem, mental health and wellbeing and children will

ABC Parents Project
ABC Parents, a paediatric community outreach programme in Enfield and Haringey, aims to
address health disparities and reduce unnecessary emergency department visits for children
under five in North Middlesex Hospital area. The initiative tackles the lack of child
health knowledge, parental confidence and sustainable communities. By providing education
and resuscitation training and empowering parents to manage child health concerns, it aims to
decrease the reliance on acute services.
Screening for health disparities and providing in-person and virtual support sessions aid in
reducing stigma and improving parental advocacy for community support. The programme's
multidisciplinary approach, backed by various local organisations, fosters a community of
resources for families. with a network of trained parent champions supporting this initiative. This
partnership, supported by North Central London Integrated Care System and Public Health,
focuses on coproduction with families at its core. aiming to build sustainable community health
and wellbeing.
Parental fear, doubt. isolation and a lack of knowledge are all key drivers in health behaviours
and important determinants of A&E attendance. Parents often doubt their own ability or
judgement and this lack of confidence can prevent them from even attempting 'self-care'.

My Time Counselling Service
Funded by BBC Children in Need. the project started in September 2022 with the aim of
supporting children and young people across Enfield. Haringey and Waltham Forest. The
project provides:
i. Individual therapeutic 1 .1 counsellinglplay therapy. Providing children aged 5 to 18 with
space to explore their thoughts, feelings and difficulties through individual talking and
therapeutic play.
2. Closed therapeutic groups in schools to enable children to share their experiences,
validate feelings, build relationships and experiment with alternative ways of behaving in
a safe and supportive environment.

3. Wellbeing service: a drop-in for older children, either alone or with friends, to access
therapeutic support and to learn self-managing techniques such as mindfulness,
mediation and visualisation. We hope to help children meet challenges, build emotional
resilience and develop coping strategies. We are acutely aware that some children
struggle to access our services as they don't want peers to think they have a 'mental
health, issue or need 'counselling . This started off well, but. owing to COVID-19, the
lockdowns, schools operating in year group bubbles and restriction of students moving
around the school, the numbers here have since been minimal. We expect numbers to
rise substantially. as the need is, if anything. greater than it was before the pandemic.
4. Developing parenting skills: this is very important as parents play a key role in
embedding and sustaining outcomes the children achieve through the other parts of the
project.
Referrrals
Children and young people are referred to the service via a multi pathway system. Referred
children have been identified with the following expereinces:
Difficulties regulating emotions - particularly for those childrenlyoung people on the
autistic spectrum and bullying issues

Factory, who will deliver sessions on 'Social Media - Friend or Consumer?, The impact
of social media on friendships. particularly with our referred secondary-aged young
people is very prevalent.

A case study
Child A is an 11-year-old boy who came to join his mum in the UK in November 2022. Mum had
left her son with her parents abroad. so she could come to the UK and prepare- get a job, find
a home and settle herself before sending for her son.
When Child A arrived, he came into a blended family - mum, stepdad and baby sister. He
started primary school in January 2023. Child A found it difficult to adjust to his new school,
teachers, friends and country and missed his grandparents terribly. He missed his old way of
life in and outside of school and found it difficult to make friends and adjust to the new way of
doing things in school.
This affected his confidence and self-esteem, and he was starting to disengage with the few
friends he had made and found himself in altercations with them. He became disruptive in class.
When he returned home from school, he spent a lot of time by himself in his room playing on his
computer and rarely interacting with his family. At school he doubted his academic ability and
gave up easily, without trying, even though his teachers thought he was capable and would
always encourage him.
School referred Child A to My Time and he was counselled within school time, at school by a
male counsellor. After testing the counsellor (this is normal and is associated with trust), Child A
began to open and talk about his fears. anxieties and emotions and really utilised the safe
space the counsellor provided. Child A has built a very trusting relationship with his counsellor.
with whom he talks about his life and what he would like to do in the future. Child A will be
transitioning to secondary school in September 2024 and his disruptive behaviors have
reduced, with fewer altercations with his friends. He seems more settled now.
Having listened to the challenges experienced by Child A's mother. the service was able to
support her with one-to-one counselling.
Child A is currently entering additional counselling sessions with the same counsellor (initially
we provide counselling for 10 weeks, with once-a-week sessions). Once the additional sessions
have concluded, Child A will receive mentoring support from 2BM Factory.
SEND Advocacy Service
We received a small grant from Awards for All to pilot the SEND Advocacy for seven months.
The SEND Advocacy aimed to provide direct advocacy support to families who were
experiencing difficulties obtaining support under the SEND Information, Advice and Support
Service (SENDIASS) provided by the Council. Initially, the service sought to support children
and young people living in the London Boroughs of Enfield, Waltham Forest and Haringey.
However, owing to the demand on the service, which was operating just 14 hours per week, we
were only able to outreach to schools within Enfield.
We must make clear that the SEND Advocacy Service did not replace the statutory obligations
for Local Authorities to provide an impartial SENDIASS in the locality. The SEND Advocacy
Service supported the families by directly challenging a school andlor the Local Authority on
their failure to support the families.

Every Parent & Child

For the Year Ended 31 March 2024
During the operating period, the service supported 19 families and directly worked with six
schools to obtain better outcomes for children and young people.
Examples of cases supported:
1. Client BIR - Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) refused - appeal and mediation
requested. Council reversed their decision. Family first language not English.
2. Client A and L - letter and attended one meeting with school and Local Authority - got
Local Authority and school to reverse decision, so L did not have to repeat nursery and
moved to reception with his cohort.
3. Client LK and FW- EHCP was denied for a year 10 student. Parents working with
SENDIASS but wanted more robust support. SEND Advocacy Service wrote two letters
to Local Authority ref. Section19 Right to Education and EHCP, two-limb test (in law, the
first limb is factual causation and the second limb is the scope of liability). Local Authority
had unilaterally imposed additional criteria. The SEND Advocate attended one meeting
resulting in the Local Authority doing a U-tum and deciding to conduct an Education
Health Care Needs Assessment (EHCNA).
Case study:
Parents applied for EHCNA and were helped by SENDIASS. EHCNA was refused. SENDIASS
helped the family with their appeal, but the EHCNA was refused for the second time.
Parents sought help from a Facebook group for parents of neurodiverse children. The group
referred the family to EPC SEND Advocacy Service. Following an internal assessment of need,
it was found that, although SENDIASS were supporting the family, owing to the impartial nature
of the service, they were unable to challenge the Local Authority directly.
The SEND Advocate wrote two letters - one to the Enfield Executive Director of People
Services, as the EHCNA had been refused twice. and one to the Enfield Head of Admissions on
Section 19 Education Act 1996 Right to Education. as the child was a school refuser.
A mediation meeting was set up. The Head of Admissions called the SEND Advocacy Service
to discuss the case after receiving the letter. He asked for a report from a medical professional
supporting the claim that the child could not access mainstream education owing to her autism,
even on a part-time basis. A Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS)
professional was contacted and agreed to complete the assessment.
A few days before the mediation meeting, and after receiving letters from the SEND Advocacy
Service, the Council cancelled the meeting and granted the EHCNA. The Head of Admissions
found an alternative provision for the child to attend, where she has been progressing well. It
took a month for the SEND Advocacy Service to achieve a positive outcome on this case, when
SENDIASS involvement over several months previously had failed to produce any improved
outcome for the family.
What clients said:
'1 just wanted to say thank you so much for your help so far. As I have had to unfortunately find
out, the SEN'S process and system is a difficult world to navigate, making it sometimes near on
impossible and very stressful to be part of. You came at a time when I was feeling so
overwhelmed with the constant battle. I cannot tell you what a difference you have made.,
Paqe11

'You have come in and hit the road running, have always gone that extra mile sending letters
out, reviewing and providing advice, which is always clear & concise. managing to get rid of all
nonsense and concentrate on what is actually required. You have always been so efficient,
supportive, proactive and approachable (I'm running out of adjective now) but honestly, I don't
think we could have done this without you.,
'Everyone going through this process should have an Abigail [SEND Advocate].'
Looking ahead to 2024-25
During the next 12 months, we will remain focused on fundraising and community development.
We will continue to explore expanding our working relationship with ABC Parents with the view
to managing additional services supporting the partners.
The My Time counselling service will be in its third year of funding. Therefore, we will be
focused on securing continuation funding so that the project remains operational.
On a financial basis, we will continue to explore opportunities for reducing the annual deficit.
We will appoint a part-time bid writer to develop funding applications in line with the strategic
priorities. One area of development is the SEND Advocacy Service, which had a successful
pilot during 2023-24.
We will strengthen the Board of Trustees by actively recruiting new members with the skillset
that supports the delivery of the Strategic Plan.
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing document
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 31 May 2001,
and registered as a charity on 10 August 2001. The company was established under a
Memorandum of Association that defined the objects and powers of the charitable company. It
is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up,
members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 .
The Charity was established in 1996 as Enfield Parents Centre.
Recruitment and appointment of members of the Board of Directors
The Directors of the company are also Charity Trustees for the purposes of Charity Law. The
Board tries to ensure that it reflects the diversity and needs of the community that is being
served, by using a variety of avenues for recruitment. These include approaching individuals
with particular skills via the Enfield Volunteer Centre and the national REACH website and
approaching the Charity's service users via the Charity's website and mailings. The Directors
are appointed by members of the company. During the reporting year, we appointed Sarah Tite
as Trustee to the Board of Directors of EPC.
Paqe 12

Every Parent & Child

Directors, induction and training
The Charity has an information pack for new Trustees. and prospective Trustees are
interviewed by the Chief Executive and Chair. They are offered support prior to attending their
first Board meeting, to explain the duties and responsibilities of Trustees. The Charity takes up
training on governance offered by local and national organisations. Trustees may also attend
Conferences on governance.
Risk management
The Trustees and staff reviewed the updated risk register and the measures taken to manage
or alleviate the key risks. As reported last year, funding and sustainability are still a real
challenge for the Charity for the medium term and are a serious constraint on our work.
Organisational structure
The Charity has a Board of not fewer than three nor more than 16 Trustees. The Trustees meet
approximately every six weeks to review and agree major areas of policy and the strategic
direction of the Charity. At the time of writing. the Board has five members from a variety of
professional backgrounds.
A scheme of delegation is in place and the day-to-day responsibility for the provision of services
rests with the Chief Executive. He manages the operations of the Charity. supervises the staff
and ensures that the teams continue to develop their skills and working practices. The
operations of the Charity are
reported to the Board through reports on projects and the Chief Executive's reports and periodic
attendance and presentations by project leaders.
Responsibility for reviewing key areas and reporting to the Board is taken by committees
consisting of two or three trustees and with responsibility for different areas, such as
governance and finance, which meet between the Board meetings or as required. Volunteers
are supervised by the service leads.
Pay policy for senior staff
The Board of Trustees is responsible for defining EPC'S Management Pay Policy and deciding
on the salaries of the Chief Executive, managers and staff.
It is essential for EPC to have leaders who bring professional expertise, significant leadership
experience and strong capability to develop and grow the organisation to further enhance its
reputation in the Borough and beyond. The pay for the management is benchmarked against
pay levels in other voluntary sectors in Outer London.
All the Trustees give their time freely and no Trustee received ￿muneratIon in the past year.
Details of Trustees, expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in notes 2 and 9 on
pages 21 & 22.

Related parties
The Charity works in partnership with Enfield and North Central London Clinical Commissioning
Group, Children's Services, the SEND Board and other professionals in the Local Authority, as
well as the voluntary and community sector.
There is no connection between Trustees or senior managers of the Charity and suppliers of
services to the Charity.
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the guidance given by the Charity
Commission on public benefit in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake. The
Trustees have concluded that the activities carried out by the Charity have fulfilled the public
benefit requirement.
Financial Review
EPC'S main funding sources are both restricted & unrestricted funding. This year we were
successful in bringing in £113,504 from various sources and have an unrestricted reserve of
£139,653 (of which £125,000 is designated), which the charity aims to continue spending on its
charitable objects.
Our principal source of income has been through grant funding.
Investment Policy
Investment objectives
The Charity has assets which are invested to provide unrestricted income.
The Charity seeks to produce the best financial retum within an acceptable level of risk, which
balances the likelihood of losses that may damage the Charity against the potential for benefit
and a good return on investment. The Board will ensure it looks at the risk, ethical and time-
horizon factors in making investment decisions. It will also require regular reporting and
monitoring of the investments to be submitted at Board meetings.
In the previous reporting year, the Trustees took the decision to invest unrestricted reserves in
the COIF Charities Ethical Investment Fund provided by CCLA and the Charity Multi-Asset
Fund provided by Schroders. This investment has yielded £3,055 for the year.
Reserves policy and going concern
The reserves policy is to hold six months, running costs as free reserves. Free reserves are
those funds not tied up in fixed assets or held as designated or restricted funds. Free reserves
are held to ensure the continuity of educational services and, given the relative uncertainty of
future funding and the long-term viability of the Charity, that adequate funds are available to
cover the running costs for six months.
Paqe 14

Every Parent & Child

For the Year Ended 31 March 2024
Six months, running costs are calculated as £70,000 The Trustees and management are
pleased that the reserves are at the desired level and have decided to use the reserves to
invest in further services for our beneficiaries in the forthcoming year. The Trustees are of the
view that EPC is a going concern.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions in part 15 of the Companies
Act 2006 applicable to companies subject to the small companies, regime.
Our Big Thank You
The year would not have been possible without the support of our amazing staff, volunteers,
partners. and funders. Thank you for your continued support of Every Parent & Child - together
we make communities stronger so that they can thrive.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
Every Parent & Child
I report on the accounts of Ihe company for the year ended 31, March 2024, which are set out on pages
17to 24.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of Gompany 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 (the Charities Act) and that an
independent examination is needed. The charity s gross income exceeded £25,000 and l am qualified to
undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Association of Chartered Certified
Accountants.
It is my responsibility to..
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the
Charity Commission (under section 145{5){b) of the Charities Act, and
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.
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"

Notes to the Accounts
1. Accounting policies
Basis of accounting
The accounts {financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with
Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice
applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial
Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)
(effective 1 January 2015) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial
Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and
the Companies Act 2006.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees
believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the
level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for twelve
months from authorising these accounts and have decided that the charity is
able to continue as a going concern.
Income recognition
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, there
is sufficient certainty of receipt and so it is probable that the income will be
received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Grant
income received in advance of the period to which they are intended are
deferred to that period.
Expenditure recognition
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to
make a payment to a third party. it is probable that a settlement will be required,
and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on and accruals basis and is inclusive of VAT.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the
delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs
that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect
nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the
constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include independent
examination fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
Governance costs which cannot be allocated directly are apportioned on an
appropriate basis.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are grants. donations and other incoming resources
receivable for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and
are available as general funds.

Equipment
Computers
Investments
Fixed asset investments are included at market value. Any gain or loss on
revaluation of disposal is included in the statement of financial activities.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after
any trade discounts offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid
after taking account of any trade discounts due.
Short term deposits
Short term deposits are deposits with a maturity date of one year or less from
the date of acquisition.
Creditors
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present
obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of
funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be
measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally
recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts
due.
Financial instruments
The charitable company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a
kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are
initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their
settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
