To advance the welfare and education of families affected by the activities of pimps (subject to change following updating.) (These objects are being reviewed and will be intended to be filed by Companies House by August 2024).
Activities undertaken for public benefit in relation to objects in planning our activities for the year, we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. In particular, the trustees considered how planned activities contributed to the aims and objectives they have set.

Contribution to consultation and reviews relating to child exploitation
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objec�ves and in planning its future ac�vi�es. In par�cular, the trustees consider how planned ac�vi�es will contribute to the aims and objec�ves that have been set. The areas addressed by the planned ac�vi�es are:
-
Children experiencing threats outside the family home
-
Affected families need support as a result of their child’s exploitation and their agency in safeguarding their children.
-
Informing statutory agencies and society in general about the threats facing children outside the home.
-
Affected parents
-
Sexually and criminally exploited child or young person
-
Siblings and other family members
-
Professionals working to safeguard children
-
Policymakers
-
Non-affected parents
How they benefit
-
Affected parents accessing the national parent support service reduce their isolation, increase their understanding of exploitation, and strengthen their resilience.
-
Affected parents supported by a parent liaison officer experience an improvement in family relations, improved safeguarding measures at home and a reduction in children going missing from home. Fewer children go into care because of child exploitation. Parents
3
sharing information with the police can lead to an increase in the disruption and conviction of perpetrators. In the long term, there can be a better chance of exit and recovery from the abuse as the child matures into adulthood.
-
Sexually and criminally exploited children and young people benefit from being better understood and supported at home by their parents/families, getting justice against their abusers and being better able to exit from their abuse.
-
Siblings and other family members benefit from improved family relations and increased safety at home.
-
Professional partners benefit from learning about the impact of exploitation on families and making decisions that help to keep children and their families safe.
-
Policymakers gain insights into the lived experience to help inform policy and practice on child exploitation.
-
Non-affected parents benefit by learning about the warning signs of child exploitation and putting in place preventive measures to reduce the likelihood of exploitation occurring.
Our work in England and Wales
-
We worked with 701 families
-
We trained 1,669 professionals and 1627 community members
-
We supported the safeguarding of 1051 children
“I felt like my guardian angel had walked in the door when my Ivison trust worker first came to see me, it was the first time I was asked how I was coping and told someone was there for me. Until now, all the support had been reliant on my son working with the services, but he did not want to; he did not see the risks of the offenders like us due to the grooming he had been reprogrammed. I’d felt like I couldn’t go on anymore, then Ivison's trust support came, I felt heard and listened to, and things started to change. The information I had was being used and those responsible for my child’s exploitation started to be looked at.” Parent

Structure, governance and management
Governing document and company status
-
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 10 July 2001 and registered as a charity on 21 June 2002.
-
The company was established under a memorandum of association, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its articles of association. Ivison Trust is revising the charity objects in keeping with current descriptions of child exploitation and its effect on both girls and boys.
-
Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the charity's assets in the event of winding up. In March 2024, there were seven such guarantees.
-
The trustees are members of the charity, but this entitles them only to voting rights. They have no beneficial interest in the charity.
-
All Ivison Trust trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 12 to the accounts.
Trustee selection methods
-
Trustees are selected by virtue of their experience and knowledge of child sexual/Criminal exploitation, their experience as affected parents, and/or their understanding of the governance and management of voluntary sector organisations.
-
Eligibility includes legal checks for unspent convictions, bankruptcy, insolvency, and other prohibitions relating to service as a charity trustee.
-
We advertise for new trustees through our own website and placement of adverts in other appropriate websites. Potential trustees are first contacted by the Chair of Trustees or CEO, complete an application, attend an interview with a minimum of 2 trustees and the CEO, have their references checked, and once appointed, are asked to sign the eligibility declaration relating to unspent convictions, bankruptcy, etc.
8
Organisational structure
The Trustees administer the Charity. The CEO, Lindsay Dalton, is appointed by the Trustees to oversee the strategic and financial development of Ivison Trust and to manage and/or delegate the charity's day-to-day operations.
Risk management
We regularly review our Covid-19 risk assessment and share the results with staff. We also complete a risk register, which is yearly updated as a minimum.
Finance
-
Failure to secure grants, mitigated by appointment of a Funding Manager in September 2021, working with the CEO to submit bids to new and existing funds, and ensuring timely funding returns are submitted.
-
Failure to secure commissions, mitigated by strategic and operational management of commissioning partnerships, promotion of benefits to current and new partners, and timely funding returns.
-
Failure to secure income from training fees, mitigated by digital marketing, and development of a training platform to support webinars, online training courses and online payment.
-
Lack of proper financial management, mitigated by quarterly meetings of CEO, Treasurer and Finance Officer, and one person with overall financial and fundraising responsibilities
Staffing
-
Engaging a specialist recruitment agency mitigates the risks of gaps in staff coverage for the commissioned areas.
-
Staff resilience, illness, and key staff loss is mitigated by external clinical supervision, regular team meetings, and membership in Croner Services, which offers 24/7 HR support and Croner Services health and safety support.
-
Staffing capacity to fulfil our objectives, mitigated by funding strategy, prioritisation of work, and ensuring all stakeholders (i.e. parents, partners, funders, trustees, staff and volunteers) are aware of the impact of our work with families.
Reputation
- Damage caused to image/reputation is mitigated by monitoring service delivery and staff performance.
Governance
-
Lack of proper management or training is mitigated by the clarity of staff roles, staff supervision, and information sharing.
-
Data protection breaches were mitigated by training and implementing our Data Protection Policy, encrypting removable data, requiring staff to hand in notebooks at the end of employment, and ensuring the copyright of our training materials.
-
Loss of marketing, mitigated by annual budget for marketing and publications, sign-up to relevant digital platforms, up-to-date mailing and social media outreach, facilitating parents’ involvement in communications, and engagement with key policymakers.
-
Lack of infrastructure, mitigated by signing up to relevant CRMs and ensuring the server is backed up on and off-site.
9
-
Competition emerges, mitigated by ensuring we remain authentic and parent-led, continually learning, overseeing trustee conflict of interest, and protecting our intellectual property.
-
Chair/board succession, mitigated by regular review of board membership and officer roles.

Ivison Trust (formerly Parents Against Child Exploitation)
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024
1 Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
a Basis of preparation
The 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), second edition - October 2019 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Ivison Trust (formerly Parents Against Child Exploitation) meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The trustees have made no key judgments which have a significant effect on the accounts.
The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.
c Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

Ivison Trust (formerly Parents Against Child Exploitation)
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024 (continued)
d Donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
e Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
f Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
g Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of commercial trading and their associated support costs.
-
Expenditure on charitable activities are the costs incurred to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
h Allocation of support costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 9.

i Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives as follows:
Office equipment 25% (straight line) Office fixtures and equipment 25% (reducing balance)
j Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
k Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
l Creditors and provisions
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.
m Financial instruments
The charity 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.
n Pensions
Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 11. The costs of the defined contribution scheme are included within support and governance costs and allocated to the funds of the charity using the methodology set out in note 9.
There were contributions of £8,733 outstanding at the year-end (2023: £5,265).
