Chief Executive’s report

2021/22 was a pivotal year for social care and a pivotal year for SCIE. In the arena of adult social care, the long-awaited Adult Social Care white paper – People at the heart of care – was published, setting out a 10-year vision for adult social care. SCIE and Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) were pleased to be closely involved in shaping this paper, being involved in several advisory groups that discussed key parts of the paper. TLAP were also critically involved in helping the Department for Health and Social Care engage with people who draw on care as part of the process, with the paper stating:

“We are particularly grateful to Think Local Act Personal for facilitating direct engagement with people with lived experience of care and support, whose views are so important in getting reform right.”

We were pleased that many of the recommendations we made in the report of ‘ Commission on the Role of Housing in the Future of Care and Support ’, a year-long review on the future of housing with care led by SCIE, were reflected in the White Paper, including the commitment to set up local strategic housing with care partnerships. We are also pleased to see the commitment to making sure that the Care Quality Commission’s planned single assessment framework for local authorities, Integrated Care Systems and providers adopts the ‘I’ statements in TLAPs ‘ Making it Real ’ framework.

In addition, the publication of a new White Paper on integrated health and care – ‘Health and Care Integration: joining up care for people, places and populations’ – which sets out measures for making integrated health and social care a universal reality, an area which SCIE has contributed significantly towards in recent years. This year was no exception, as SCIE was part of the consortium which was selected by NHS England and Improvement to deliver support to every Integrated Care System, to help them establish place-based partnerships to drive integrated care, placing us at the heart of new thinking and best practice on integrated care. We were also pleased to be involved in assisting the Scottish Government to develop its blueprint for a new single National Care Service.

Whilst these new policy commitments – and some improvement to the funding settlement for social care – are important, the challenges facing social care continue to be enormous. This year, for instance, we started a new research commission, funded by The National Lottery Community Fund and others, into the impact of COVID-19 on adults with learning disabilities, and are hearing first-hand already just how difficult it has been for many. We will report on our findings later this year. TLAP, through its work on the experiences of black and minority communities of personalised care, and a series of reports on direct payments, identified significant barriers to access to excellent tailored care and support, whilst also identifying some good practice. This year, through our extensive research and co-production activities, we will continue to ensure that the voice of people who draw on care and support is heard at national and local levels, and successfully influences policy and practice.

In the arena of children’s social care, the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care was established to explore the future of children’s social care and is making steady progress, with the publication of a case for change in July. We were pleased to see this report call for the

2 Annual report and financial statements 2021/22

expansion of the Staying Close pilots as an alternative for children in residential care, SCIE are supporting the roll out of these pilots with the Department for Education, working with the innovative Break Charity. Equally, we were pleased to see the strong emphasis on early help as a key to supporting better outcomes for children and families, and in this area SCIE has been involved in influential work in Northern Ireland looking at the efficacy of early help family hubs.

Creating safer organisations and communities is also a key objective of SCIE, and last year we were involved in a number of high-profile safeguarding reviews with significant implications for how safer services are developed in the future. These included conducting the reviews of the Whorlton Hall abuse scandal and the Tate Modern attack. We also contributed to the National Review of the murders of Arthur Labinjo-Hughes and Star Hobson.

SCIE has faced many challenges to our finances over the last few years, I know that the two years I have now been at SCIE have been at times particularly difficult for staff as we have undertaken a range of measures to turn our financial performance around. I am incredibly proud and grateful to all the team in that our efforts have been fruitful, as this year we are really pleased to record a surplus for the first time in a long time. We have also successfully delivered a range of organisational improvements – such as to our IT and finance systems. Coupled with our work to help us clarify and measure the difference we make, and the changes we will make to our website to better meet the needs of the sector, we are now far better placed to overcome potential challenges in the future to ensure we can continue to improve social care. Looking ahead, I see an exciting year for SCIE. Setting out policy direction is important, and we welcome the intent contained in the White Papers, but the hardest part, as always, is implementing changes on the ground. This year we will continue to work with national organisations and local commissioners, partners, providers and people who draw on support: we will aim to implement what works, providing evidence, consultancy support and development to help organisations and individuals to help them in turn build healthier, safer, more connected and better supported people and places.

Thank you for your continued interest and support in SCIE. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our staff team who have showed such incredible commitment and diligence over the last year, in what continues to be a challenging time for organisations working in social care.

Chair’s report

Like other essential public services social care plays a critical role in our society, however it often does it out of sight. When social care is well led and delivered in person-centred ways, it can greatly enhance the lives of those who draw on it. It is part of the fabric of strong and cohesive communities.

This year, the Government set out its plans for the future of adult social care and the integration of health and social care – all of which promised the creation of better resourced, more joined-up, preventative and person-centred care and support. The Government have said that they want care and support that “offers people choice and control over the care they receive and promotes independence and enables people to live well as part of a community.”

These are important statements of intent, but they will take investment and sustained effort to be delivered. As a leading national improvement agency and charity, SCIE plays an important role in helping organisations and local people to turn aspirations into lived experience. We do this through high-quality research, by influencing national policy, by supporting the workforce to develop their skills and capabilities, and through providing improvement support to organisations that support people to access care and support. All of our work is co-produced with people who draw on health, care and support – improving the quality of decision-making about how care is planned, commissioned and delivered.

SCIE has been posting losses for a number of years. Over the last two years the Board has supported our Chief Executive to turn the charity around. This has meant some tough choices including staff redundancies, a permanent shift to home working, tighter financial control, as well as increased income from our services. As a result we are posting a surplus in these accounts.

There remains more to do to secure the charity’s future and fulfil our purpose. Now more than ever our sector needs a charity that makes the case for, and demonstrates, the difference that great social care can make in people’s lives. Driven by the evidence and by the voice of lived experience SCIE has a unique role to play.

Although we continue to operate in very challenging times for the sector, SCIE has achieved many good things this year. Key highlights for me included:

4 Annual report and financial statements 2021/22

Over the next year, we aim to build on these successes, with plans for growth. Whilst the Board is tremendously proud of the work of SCIE, we feel the charity can achieve more. In particular, we will be strengthening our skills and capabilities in policy and influencing and growing our consultancy business, which is thriving.

Next year will also be an exciting year for the TLAP Programme, as it continues to influence national policy and practice. Its involvement as a key partner in helping shape the Care Quality Commission’s planned new Assurance Regime for local authorities is an important area of work for the programme that we are particularly excited about.

Finally, I want to acknowledge the dedicated service of Ewan King, our Deputy CEO, who has taken up a new challenge as the CEO of Shared Lives. He will be missed. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank SCIE’s Trustees, who have helped SCIE navigate successfully a very difficult period and continue to provide unwavering support to the organisation’s leadership team. I would also like to thank our Chief Executive for her leadership and our staff, who work so hard, and diligently, to deliver resources and support which I know make such an important difference for those working in the sector.

With best wishes

Rt Hon Paul Burstow

Chair, SCIE

Annual report and financial statements 2021/22 5

Our year in summary

The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) is a leading values-driven charity and improvement agency. In recent years we have evolved from a largely government-funded body to a fast-moving, high-profile and more commercial organisation and thought leader.

Our vision is: “A society where care and support maximises people’s choices, removes social inequality, and enables people to live fulfilling, safe and healthy lives.”

Our mission is: “To research, evidence, share and support the implementation of best practice. We use this evidence and experience to shape policy and outcomes, and to raise awareness of the importance of social care and social work for creating a fair and equal society. Everything we do is informed by people with experience of care and support.”

Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) is a national partnership of more than 50 organisations, hosted by SCIE, which is committed to transforming health and care through personalisation and community-based support. The partnership spans central and local government, social care providers, the NHS, and the voluntary and community sector as well as people with lived experience, through the National Co-production Advisory Group (NCAG).

2021/22 was a very successful year for SCIE and the TLAP programme. We have delivered a number of reforms to how we work internally – including upgrading our IT and finance systems and moving to a virtual model of working – and have posted a healthy operational surplus of nearly half a million pounds. Building on these strong foundations, next year we are planning to grow – bringing in additional expertise and capacity to support our policy and influencing, and our improvement support to local organisations in particular.

Please refer to note 15 in the Accounts regarding SCIE’s exit from the Local Government Pension scheme with effect from the 7 December 2021.

TLAP had a very successful year, including a large range of national policy developments, including influencing key parts of the Adult Social Care White Paper, and the development of the CQC’s single assurance framework for health and social care. TLAP published well received reports on equalities in social care, direct payments and innovation.

In 2021-22 our business plan focused on three strategic areas, and in relation to each area, we have delivered impactful work that has made a real difference to people who draw on care and support, and the organisations that work with them:

  1. Driving improvements in social care locally.

  2. Influencing better policy and practice nationally, including the Think Local Act Personal programme to personalise health, care and support.

  3. Supporting better safeguarding everywhere.

Key highlights included:

6 Annual report and financial statements 2021/22

We continue to have an unrivalled reach into the sector, with 5,337,000 visits to our website, and over 220,000 registered to receive our newsletter. Over 5,000 people took part in our accredited classroom training sessions.

Our priorities for next year are ambitious, and include:

8 Annual report and financial statements 2021/22

Activities and achievements

In this section of the plan, we describe what we have done last year and the impact of our work in relation to our key priorities. These were based around four main priorities:

  1. Improving social care locally.

  2. Influencing better national policy and practice, including the Think Local Act Personal programme, to drive personalisation of health, care and support.

  3. Supporting better safeguarding everywhere.

  4. Improving SCIE as an organisation.

Priority one: Improving social care locally

We seek to work with local organisations, partnerships and people who draw on support to transform care and support. We help local areas overcome the most difficult barriers, learn from good practice, and develop sustainable plans.

We are experts in what works, and through our extensive networks and access to communities of practice, can help local organisations access and learn from the latest best practice and innovations. Wherever possible, our local improvement work is co-produced with people who draw on care and support.

In our 2021–2023 strategy, we said we would support a growing number of local authorities to improve. This involved supporting organisations, through a range of improvement approaches and tools, to:

What we did

Developing co-production in Kirklees

In 2019, people working within Kirklees Adult Social Care started to explore how to create more opportunities for co-production. Although there were pockets of co-production happening, the ambition was for this to become ‘the way we do things’. With support from The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) people who draw on social care and support, carers, family members and staff were invited to come together to co-produce a plan for how to make this ambition a reality.

The group decided to test and learn through taking a co-productive approach with two projects:

  1. Developing an integrated contact centre service for health and care.

  2. Review of the Direct Payments policy.

10 Annual report and financial statements 2021/22

Throughout 2021, people who draw on care and support, carers and Kirklees Council staff continued to have conversations about how to build on the learning of the two projects and make the Kirklees Vision for Adult Social Care a reality through co-production. They set out to create a new Co-production Board. This group worked together to shape the whole process of setting up the board including creating the terms of reference and the recruitment materials as well as designing and taking part in the recruitment process. Board members and co-production partners involved with coproduced projects are paid for their time and contributions.

Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) and the University of Birmingham (UoB) – Strengths-based leadership programme

One of the most important developments within health and social care in recent years has been a greater emphasis on building on the strengths of individuals and families, and the assets within communities.

We know from our work across the sector, that good leadership in health and social care is hugely important in supporting this commitment to strengths-based practice. Recognising this, SCIE and UoB have developed a unique leadership programme. Aimed at managers, team leaders, assistant team leaders and senior practitioners in adult and children’s social care: Leadership of strengths-based practice.

Annual report and financial statements 2021/22 11

This programme has been designed to support practice leaders to demonstrate leadership through engaging with academic insights, critically reflecting on their own leadership, and developing a community of practice with their peers through facilitated contact days.

The programme is supported by a unique learning platform with contributions from sector leaders and includes the delivery of an improvement project to enable the practical application of strengths-based leadership in both the practitioners own role and its impact on organisations as a whole.

To date, SCIE and UoB have delivered to a wide range of social care practitioners and staff in both open access and in-house tailored programmes for teams, including West Midlands Teaching Partnership, Bradford and Doncaster adult social care.

“I recognise that I now have a greater awareness of the significance and role of effective leadership in implementing and embedding a strengths-based approach and culture within an organisation. Engagement in the programme has provided me with the opportunity to consider how my role, as well as that of others, is key in influencing the realisation of a strengths-based culture; this being crucial in being able to effectively support frontline social work practitioners to apply this approach within their practice.”

Priorities for 2022/23

In 2022/23 we will continue to work with local authorities, local partners and people who draw on care to drive the improvement of health, care and support.

There will be six main priorities for support.

12 Annual report and financial statements 2021/22

Priority Two: Influencing better policy and practice nationally

SCIE is one of the leading authorities on what works in social care, and through our growing policy and influencing activities, we seek to influence national policy, guidance, regulation and practice. In our 2021–2023 strategy, we said we would speak with an authoritative voice on how we improve people’s experiences and outcomes of social care, providing sector leadership and a strong policy perspective.

What we did

See our case studies here:

Developing proposals for a new Evidence Centre for Palliative End of Life Care

SCIE was asked by Marie Curie to carry out a short study into the feasibility of a new evidence centre for Palliative and End of Life Care (PEOLC). SCIE conducted a rapid review of relevant literature and interviews with stakeholders involved in PEOLC research and evidence dissemination to explore the case for a new centre, its potential purpose and role. In parallel, Professor Katherine Sleeman of the Cicely Saunders Institute, King’s College London, has been developing a proposal for a What Works Centre for palliative care, supported by Dr Anna Dixon, Prof. Baroness Ilora Finlay and others. The development work involved conversations with key stakeholders across Government, including the Cabinet Office What Works team.

Leading on from these activities, SCIE, supported by Marie Curie and with input from Katherine Sleeman, facilitated a workshop with a wider group of stakeholders to discuss the proposed concept of a PEOLC evidence centre and emerging options for its development, including the purpose of such a centre, its potential position and impact within the wider sector, and possible form and funding models.

Annual report and financial statements 2021/22 13

The workshop was held at the Marie Curie head office in London on 21 March 2022 and involved a range of representatives from across the spectrum of PEOLC evidence users, generators and facilitators, as well as from existing What Works centres and potential supporters, to help shape and develop the concept at this formative stage.

SCIE produced a report of the review and workshop, and will continue to support Marie Curie as it develops this idea further.

IMPACT Centre (IMProving Adult Care Together)

In late 2021 the IMPACT Centre entered its establishment phase, on its journey to becoming a fully-fledged UK national centre. The IMPACT Centre will support the adult social care sector in making the best use of evidence and transform how social care evidence is turned into practice, including supporting adults and young people moving into adult social care and how social care interacts with partner agencies and other sectors.

Key objectives for the new centre are to enable practical improvements on the ground, and make a crucial contribution to longer-term cultural change, by:

SCIE has been involved from the outset in a partnership led by the University of Birmingham, in both securing the funding for the Centre and guiding the centre through the initial co-design stage to explore in more detail its priorities and how it will operate. SCIE has a representative on the IMPACT leadership team, who has recently been appointed part-time Deputy Director, to develop a strategy for knowledge mobilisation that will ensure that the Centre is able to use the learning from its work to influence national policy, standards, education and practice in adult social care.

Next year, the Centre will test out its delivery model through a series of pilots across the UK, drawing learning from this piloting to inform its further evolution as a Centre.

Think Local Act Personal – driving personalisation in health, social care and support

The TLAP programme in 2021-22 sought to continue to drive the personalisation of health, social care and support, working with a wide group of partners including Skills for Care, the LGA, ADASS and Care Provider Alliance. At the heart of TLAP’s approach is co-production, and through its National Co-production Advisory Group, the programme continued to have a significant influence over national policy and the development of local care and support.

Future priorities In 2022/23 we will:

with local partners to develop and spread national best practice in personal budget administration and processes.

Priority three: Supporting better safeguarding everywhere

SCIE is a leading authority on safeguarding across children’s and adult services. SCIE is the go-to organisation for politically sensitive safeguarding issues, be it Safeguarding Adult Reviews such as Whorlton Hall or Tate Modern, or when the Government wants to understand the prevalence of sexual abuse in care settings .

Our safeguarding offer consists of twin pillars, our work on Learning Together to understand the root cause of safeguarding issues in practice and the identification and sharing of learning. Secondly our safeguarding training, consultancy and national guidance to offer advice and support, in order to improve safeguarding practice. Together they enable us to ensure people are safer; so that adults and children are less likely to have adverse experiences, which lead to reduced life chances and reinforce inequalities.

What we did

Our work on audits and reviews supported professionals working in safeguarding to learn from incidents and adopt best practice. This included:

Priority four: Strengthening SCIE as an organisation

This year, SCIE continued to develop as an organisation, putting in place the foundations on which to grow as a high-performing, dynamic and outward-looking organisation. We have strengthened the leadership at SCIE during the past year having recruited to four new Directors – Finance and Corporate Resources, Policy, Research and Information, People and Culture, and Think Local Act Personal.

18 Annual report and financial statements 2021/22

We have taken the opportunity to work with staff, people with lived experiences and stakeholders to clarify the impact we want to make as an organisation and who our key audiences are. Following this important work, we have agreed to implement an evaluation plan which will enable SCIE to gather better data on our impact, in addition to this we will deliver a new SCIE website that responds to the needs of our key audiences. Income from training was at its highest since the start of the pandemic and we are well positioned to reach pre-pandemic levels in the year 2022/23. We have worked closely with colleagues in the finance team to update and implement new processes to support the contracting and invoicing of new work.

Since the establishment of the fundraising function at the end of 2020, in the financial year 2021/22 we received support from a number of charitable trusts and donors, for which we are extremely grateful. Generating income from these different sources is important for the future sustainability of the charity and enables us to independently develop projects and support core activities that are important to our Vision and Mission.

Our recently funded ‘Tackling Inequalities in Care for People with Learning Disabilities’ project is nearing completion. This work will lead on to similar inequality-based projects in the future. In addition, further funding is being sought for organisational development and core cost activities to support the pro bono work we have received in this financial year, along with the further development of our events programme.

The Fundraising Manager is supported by a Fundraising Reference Group and Ethics Committee to ensure adherence to the charity’s values. SCIE complies with best practice advised by the Charity Commission and utilises a Donation Acceptance policy to support its Ethical Collaboration statement. During the year, the charity received no complaints about its fundraising activities.We have had a key focus on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of our internal processes including an exercise to review cost control, which has included reducing expenditure and strengthening SCIE’s processes surrounding procurement. In 2021-2022, despite reduced capacity in the business development team, we were able to work closely with programme teams to increase income in priority areas. A review of SCIE’s IT strategy and systems led to the recruitment of a new external IT provider. We also appointed a Virtual Information Security Officer (VISO) to oversee the management of our information security risk.

Previously based in a large office, SCIE has now adopted a fully virtual working model. To ensure that staff spend time together face to face, the whole organisation meets together on a monthly basis. We have begun work on establishing our people plan, a key part of which has been to establish an Employee Forum, to create a more inclusive employee voice and drive a high-performance culture.

24 Annual report and financial statements 2021/22

This annual or Trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with Part VIII of the Charities Act 2011 and constitutes a directors’ report as required by the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements for the year to 31 March 2022 have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on pages 45 to 48 of the financial statements and comply with the charity’s memorandum and articles of association, applicable laws and 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Structure

The Chief Executive and senior staff attend, and provide reports to, regular meetings of the Board of Trustees. This enables the business of the Board, including strategy, development, and governance, to be undertaken collaboratively and in accordance with good practice. The Chief Executive manages the day-to-day activity with assistance from senior executives.

Through involvement of staff representatives, circulation of papers, and staff meetings, there is wide communication of board discussions and decisions to staff members.

Key management personnel

The key management personnel are the Trustees together with the Chief Executive and the Deputy Chief Executive. The salaries of the staff members of key management are reviewed on a triennial basis through external benchmarking. Payments made to Trustees are set out above with all such payments being approved by the Board, those receiving such payments absenting themselves from such approval.

Employees

SCIE is an equal opportunities employer and applies objective criteria to assess merit. It aims to ensure that no job applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of age, race, colour, nationality, religion, ethnic or national origin, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, or disability.

Selection criteria and procedures are reviewed regularly to ensure that individuals are selected, promoted, and treated on the basis of their relevant merits and abilities. All employees are given equal opportunities and, where appropriate and possible, special training to enable them to progress both within and outside the organisation.

Co-production Network

The Co-production Network involves users and carers in shaping and influencing SCIE’s work. The Network works with SCIE on its work programme, priorities, and performance.

Building on SCIE’s strong reputation for working with people who use services and carers, the Co-production Network met during the year, chaired by a SCIE Trustee (who is also a person that draws on services), to hold the organisation to account for ensuring the core values of the organisation continued to underpin its overall business plan.

Key risks

The Audit and Risk Committee regularly review the strategic risk register and have identified key risks and their mitigation. These include:

Financial overview

The financial position at the end of the year is set out below.

2021/22 has been a very successful year for SCIE. In 2020/2021, SCIE made an operating loss of (£627,109) which we have worked very hard to turn around by both seeking to reduce and minimise expenditure and adjust our strategies to increase our income. SCIE is pleased to report an operating surplus of £477,134 for the 2021/22 financial year and SCIE staff should be congratulated on this achievement as we look to build on this surplus moving forward.

SCIE’s income increased by £158,486 in 2021/22, which represents a 3% increase from 2020/2021.

Led by the Finance Team, a review was conducted to ensure that SCIE was receiving value for money in relation to goods and core services being provided and received, which has led to some operational savings being made. SCIE’s procurement policies and processes have been tightened to ensure that quotes for goods and services received are both competitive and represent value for money.

SCIE’s expenditure decreased by £945,757 in 2021/22, which represents an 18% decrease from 2020/2021.

SCIE’s defined benefit pension fund

Please refer to note 15 in the accounts.

26 Annual report and financial statements 2021/22

Up until 7 December 2021, SCIE participated in the Essex Pension Fund (the Fund) administered by Essex County Council. The Fund is a defined benefits scheme providing benefits based on final pensionable pay. The contributions to the Fund up until 7 December 2021 (the Primary Rate Contributions) have been determined on the basis of triennial valuations by a qualified actuary using the projected unit method.

On 7 December 2021 (the Exit Date), the charity became an Exiting Employer of the Fund as a result of it no longer having an active member contributing towards the Fund. Essex County Council obtained an actuarial valuation as at the Exit Date of the liabilities of the Fund in respect to benefits in respect of the charity’s current and/or former employees and a revised rates and adjustments schedule showing the amount due by the charity as at the Exit Date under the Regulations (the Exit Payment).

At 31 March 2022, the Fund’s actuaries have determined that the Secondary Contribution payable by the charity for the year to 31 March 2023 will be £350,000.

The next triennial valuation of the Fund is effective from 1 April 2023 at which point the charity’s position will be revisited and revised Secondary Contributions will be payable. However, the Fund’s actuaries have indicated that at the present time and based on calculations performed at the Exit Date, current estimates suggest that the charity will be required to make payments of £350,000 per annum for each of the years 2022/23 through to 2032/33. Therefore, a provision for these payments has been included on the charity’s balance sheet as at 31 March 2022 discounted at a rate of 2.6% (the rate used in the valuation calculations by the Fund’s actuaries) equating to £3.56 million. This provision will be updated in future years based on the Fund valuations and may increase or decrease depending on the valuation results.

F igure 1: Total funds

The balance sheet shows total funds to be in deficit by £384,841 at 31 March 2022 (2021 – deficit of £1,151,399). At this date, restricted funds amounted to a surplus of £248,264 (2021 – £203,600 surplus). These monies have either been restricted for use on specific projects or they comprise donations subject to donor-imposed conditions. Full details of these restricted funds can be found in note 12 to the financial statements together with an analysis of movements in the year.

Annual report and financial statements 2021/22 27

£6,210 (2021 – £126,043) of the total funds is represented by tangible fixed assets held in unrestricted funds.

SCIE’s estimation for the deferred debt liability at 31 March 2022 is £3,568,000 (2021 – share of the deficit on the defined benefit pension fund was £3,630,000). For further information, see note 15 to the financial statements. SCIE’s remaining general funds (being unrestricted funds excluding tangible fixed assets but before the defined benefit pension fund liability) are ‘free reserves’ and total £2,929,261 at 31 March 2022 (2021 – £2,148,958).

SCIE received its income from two principal sources – grants and fees and commissioning income. It spent its money on charitable activities delivering projects and meeting contracts and agreements.

At the start of the 2021-2022 financial year, a best- and worst-case budget was prepared to plan for any financial challenges that COVID-19 had brought with regards to securing funding. Within the first quarter of 2021-2022, we had already exceeded our worst-case income budget target for the full financial year, which meant we were able to adjust our income and expenditure budgets for the remainder of the financial year. The Finance Team worked closely with budget holders to reforecast both income and expenditure on a quarterly basis to ensure that our financial targets were both realistic and achievable. The outcome is that we finish the financial year with a positive net income figure.

Policies

Reserves policy

SCIE carries out a diverse range of activities, some of which comprise short-term and externally funded projects, whilst others are long-term projects requiring significant ongoing financial commitment and investment.

The Trustees have examined the requirement for free reserves, that is, those unrestricted funds not invested in tangible fixed assets, designated for specific purposes or otherwise committed. This has been undertaken by a regular consideration of pension liabilities both by the Audit Committee and the Trustees, including the information from the triennial review and the FRS 102 valuation. The Trustees have assessed the risks arising from a more uncertain future.

In the current climate, SCIE is determined to keep a level of reserves commensurate with balancing the need to release funds for new streams of income generation with the need to retain sufficient funds for liabilities that may arise in respect to the pension scheme and in relation to future accommodation needs; and, in addition, having funds to support three months of operating costs in the unlikely event of a closure. The Trustees believe the minimum level of free reserves should be £2 million.

The level of free reserves was £2,929,261 at 31 March 2022. The Trustees believe that this level of free reserves is adequate but not excessive and that it is consistent with the reserves policy above. The current free reserves provide a solid foundation to support SCIE’s transformation by enabling investment in the development of its commercial offer, diversification of sources of income, and in meeting its future liabilities.

Investment policy

SCIE does not have long-term investments. Funds that are surplus to requirements in the short term are kept on treasury deposit.

The charity’s assets

Acquisitions and disposals of fixed assets during the year are recorded in the notes to the financial statements (see note 8).

Annual report and financial statements 2021/22 29

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Social Care Institute for Excellence

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Social Care Institute for Excellence (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, and statement of cash flows, the principal accounting policies and the notes to the financial statements. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

30 Annual report and financial statements 2021/22

Other information

The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report and Financial Statements, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ report including the strategic report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Annual report and financial statements 2021/22 31

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees deem necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures can detect irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.

How the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

32 Annual report and financial statements 2021/22

We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed those laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This forms part of our auditor’s report.

Annual report and financial statements 2021/22 33

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Principal accounting policies: Year to 31 March 2022

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are laid out below.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared for the year to 31 March 2022 with comparative information provided in respect to the year to 31 March 2021.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policies below or the notes to these financial statements.

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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (Charities SORP FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014, 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 financial statements are presented in sterling and are rounded to the nearest pound.

Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement

Preparation of the financial statements requires the Trustees to make significant judgements and estimates.

The items in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made include:

Assessment of going concern

The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The Trustees have made this

Annual report and financial statements 2021/22 39

assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements.

The budget planning exercise for the 2022-2023 financial year focused on our strategic priority areas and the sub streams of work that fall under each of these priority areas. The Finance Team has worked closed with each strategic priority area lead to build an accurate and realistic budget for 2022-2023 and the charity is therefore forecasting a surplus for the 2022-2023 financial year ahead. The charity has a healthy cash balance and is able to meet its financial obligations that fall due in the 2022-2023 financial year.

Whilst there will undoubtedly be challenges ahead, the Trustees do not expect concerns to arise over the charity’s financial position. As a result, the Trustees believe it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.

Income recognition

Income is recognised in the year in which the charity is entitled to receipt, it is probable the charity will receive the income and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty. Income is deferred only when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it, or where the donor or funder has specified that the income is to be expended in a future accounting period.

Income comprises interest receivable on short-term deposits with the charity’s bankers, grants and funding from government and other agencies and income from commercial sources.

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.

Grants and funding from government and other agencies have been included as income from charitable activities as these comprise either contracts for services or they relate to specific services.

Income of a contractual nature and income generated from commercial sources is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the charity and the revenue can be reliably measured. It is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme grants are credited to the statement of financial activities when the Society has entitlement to the income and when the amount receivable has been quantified.

Expenditure recognition

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenditure comprises direct costs and support costs.

40 Annual report and financial statements 2021/22

All expenditure is incurred on the charity’s primary charitable purposes as described in the trustees’ report. It includes all costs associated with furthering the charitable purposes of the charity through the provision of its charitable activities. Such costs include direct and support costs including governance costs.

All expenditure is stated inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

Allocation of support and governance costs

Support costs represent indirect charitable expenditure. In order to carry out the primary purposes of the charity it is necessary to provide support in the form of personnel development, financial procedures, provision of office services and equipment and a suitable working environment.

Governance costs comprise the costs involving the public accountability of the charity (including audit costs) and costs in respect to its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Support costs and governance costs are allocated as described in note 3 to these financial statements.

Tangible fixed assets

All assets costing more than £1,000 and with an expected useful life exceeding one year are capitalised.

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised and depreciated at the following annual rates in order to write them off over their estimated useful lives:

Debtors

Debtors are recognised at their settlement amount, less any provision for non-recoverability. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. They have been discounted to the present value of the future cash receipt where such discounting is material.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand represents such accounts and instruments that are available on demand or have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition. Deposits for more than three months but less than one year have been disclosed as short-term deposits. Cash placed on deposit for more than one year is disclosed as a fixed-asset investment.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognised at the amount the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the

Annual report and financial statements 2021/22 41

debt. They have been discounted to the present value of the future cash payment where such discounting is material.

Fund structure

Restricted funds comprise monies raised for, or which have their use restricted to, a specific purpose, or contributions subject to donor-imposed conditions.

The general fund represents those monies which are available for application towards achieving any charitable purpose that falls within the charity's objects. It is represented by free reserves and a pension reserve which represents the FRS 102 pension liability on the charity’s defined benefit pension scheme as calculated by the scheme’s actuary as at the balance sheet date.

The tangible fixed-assets fund represents the net book value of the charity’s tangible fixed assets held under unrestricted funds. This fund has been separated from other unrestricted funds to emphasise that the assets are of fundamental importance to the charity being able to achieve its charitable objectives and, as such, their value should not be regarded as realisable.

Leased assets

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the statement of financial activities on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Pension costs

Up to 7 December 2021, the charity contributed to a defined benefits pension scheme providing benefits based on final pensionable salary. The assets of the scheme are held and managed separately from those of the charity. Please see note 15.

With effect from 8 December 2021, the charity contributes to a defined contribution pension scheme.

Pension scheme assets are measured using market values. Pension scheme liabilities are measured using the projected unit actuarial method and are discounted at the current rate of return on a high-quality corporate bond of equivalent term and currency to the liability. Any increases in the present value of the liabilities within the charity’s defined benefit scheme expected to arise from employee service in the period is allocated to the respective expense category within the statement of financial activities. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the statement of financial activities as part of other recognised gains and losses for the period.

Included within wages and salaries are fees paid by SCIE to consultants who are treated as employees for tax purposes but are not SCIE employees as defined by employment law and thus are not included within the average number of employees in the table below.

Payments to agency staff during the period reflect the need to have personnel in post in order to progress the work of SCIE. Other staff-related costs include expenditure in respect to staff training and reimbursed out-of-pocket expenses.

The average number of employees during the period, analysed by function, was as follows:

6. Payments in relation to Trustees

In accordance with the charity’s memorandum and articles of association, the Chair of the Trustees was paid £24,375 (2021 – £24,867) during the year for services undertaken in the administration of the charity. One other Trustee was paid a total of £4,800 (2021 –two Trustees were paid a total of £8,865) on the same basis. The payment for such services has been authorised by the Charity Commission and is in line with the Charities Act 2016.

The charity has purchased insurance to protect it from any loss arising from the neglect or defaults of its Trustees, employees and agents and to indemnify the Trustees or other officers against the consequences of any neglect or default on their part. The insurance premium paid by the charity during the year totalled £11,353 (2021 – £9,410) and provides cover of up to a maximum of £2 million (2021 – £2 million).

Except as noted above, the charity did not enter into any other transactions with related parties in the current or prior years.

7. Taxation

The company is a charity under the Finance Act 2010 (schedule 6, paragraph 1) definition. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains within categories covered by the Corporation Tax Act 2010 (part 11, chapter 3) or the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 (section 256), to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. No tax charge arose in the period (2020 – none).

SCIE is registered for VAT but is partially exempt and so only able to recover a proportion of its input tax.

50 Annual report and financial statements 2021/22

The specific purposes for which the funds were to be used are as follows:

DHSC commission

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) provided funding to SCIE to benefit from our unique position as a trusted, people-focused, independent improvement agency, to deliver business needs and facilitate sector improvement, increasing awareness, knowledge, skills and experience of the workforce. This included:

Oak Foundation

The Oak Foundation has provided funds for SCIE to review the safeguarding policies and procedures of grant applicants and offer support where needed. This support includes policy development, organisation specific training, as well as more generic safeguarding training sessions that are open to all grantees.

Safeguarding training (LRS Programme)

The National Lottery Community Fund has provided the funds to support smaller faith-based organisations to access the Safeguarding Training Fund materials via regional workshops, webinars and a bespoke training course; and to work with user-led organisations supporting people with disabilities, to devise, pilot and implement a checklist, based on materials looking at safeguarding governance and accountability.

Think Local Act Personal (TLAP)

The Think Local Act Personal partnership comprises over 30 national and umbrella organisations representing a broad interest in personalisation and community-based support. SCIE hosts the central team and also provides back-office services such as facilities, finance and HR support. The funds are provided by the DHSC.

Supporting Each Other Equals Power

Funds have been provided by the national community fund to look into issues of exclusion, loneliness and insufficient support for people with learning difficulties. This fund finished in a

Annual report and financial statements 2021/22 51

deficit position for the year and therefore SCIE has made contributions from free reserves to bring this fund back into balance upon closure.

National Fundraising

This project is an initiative to address the inequalities that caused people with learning disabilities to be six times more likely to die from COVID-19 and it is due to be completed by Summer 2022. This project fits within our strategic aim of influencing better policy and practice nationally and enables us to utilise our three core functions of building a knowledge base about what works in social care, translating that into resources and then disseminating it across the sector.

Due to delays to this project, a large proportion of income has been deferred into the financial year 2022-2023. However, overheads have still been incurred, leading to the fund finishing in a deficit position.

52 Annual report and financial statements 2021/22

13. Analysis of movement on funds

The below tables show the movement in the restricted and free reserves of the organisation for both the current and prior year. Asset movements refer to the adjustments that have been made to the tangible fixed-asset fund to reflect the amount of committed depreciation outstanding at the end of the financial year. The pension movements refer to adjustments that arose due to actuarial gains/losses following the yearly actuarial review.

54 Annual report and financial statements 2021/22

15. Pension commitments

(a) Local Government Pension Scheme

Up until 7 December 2021, the charity participated in the Essex Pension Fund (the Fund) administered by Essex County Council. The Fund is a defined benefits scheme providing benefits based on final pensionable pay. The assets of the Fund are held separately from those of the charity, being invested by the Fund directly. The contributions to the Fund up until 7 December 2021 (the Primary Rate Contributions) have been determined on the basis of triennial valuations by a qualified actuary using the projected unit method.

The valuation used to determine the contribution rates paid by the charity for the period from 1 April 2021 to 7 December 2021 was the triennial valuation at 31 March 2019. This showed that at that date the market value of the scheme’s assets was £6,711 million and that the actuarial value of those assets represented 97 per cent of the benefits that had accrued to members, after allowing for expected future increases in earnings. The principal assumptions made were that the investment returns would be 5.1 per cent per annum, the discount rate would be 4.5 per cent per annum and that salary increases would average 3.6 per cent per annum after 31 March 2020. For the three years to 31 March 2021, the assumed salary increases would be in line with the Consumer Price Index assumption, currently 2.4 per cent per annum. No allowance was made for possible discretionary increases in pensions beyond those prescribed in the scheme rules.

Expenditure recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) for the year to 31 March 2022 is as follows, increasing the brought forward total liability from £3,630,000 (see note 15c) to £3,858,000:

Full details required by Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) in respect to the surplus or deficit on the Fund as at 31 March 2021 (the comparative year) are shown in part (c) of this note below).

Given the charity has exited the pension scheme from 7 December 2021 and entered into a deferred debt arrangement (see below), the full liability as at that date of £3,858,000 has been reversed and has been reflected within other recognised gains and losses on the

Annual report and financial statements 2021/22 55

statement of financial activities for the year to 31 March 2022. The liability has subsequently been replaced by the estimated liability for future contributions under the terms of the charity’s deferred debt arrangement as per note (b) below.

(b) Deferred payment commitments as at 31 March 2022

On 7 December 2021 (the Exit Date), the charity became an Exiting Employer of the Fund as a result of it no longer having an active member contributing towards the Fund. Essex County Council obtained an actuarial valuation as at the Exit Date of the liabilities of the Fund in respect to benefits of the charity’s current and/or former employees and a revised rates and adjustments schedule showing the amount due by the charity as at the Exit Date under the Regulations (the Exit Payment).

On 7 December 2021 also, the charity became a Deferred Employer in the Fund as defined by the Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations 2013 (SI 2013/2356) (the Regulations). Under the Deferred Debt Agreement (the Agreement) dated 30 December 2021, the charity and Essex County Council have agreed to allow the charity to defer its obligation to make the Exit Payment and to continue to make contributions at a Secondary Rate of Contributions on the terms set out in the Agreement and for an agreed period of time (the Repayment Period). The Repayment Period will cease on 7 December 2033 or on a date agreed as part of an Extension Notice (see below) (the Expiry Date).

Under the Agreement, Essex County Council shall, using the valuation of the Fund at the Exit Date, instruct the Fund’s actuary to determine the Secondary Rate of Contributions by valuing the Fund’s liabilities and certifying the Contributions on a Projected Cessation Basis for the Repayment Period. At each subsequent triennial valuation of the Fund for Regulation 62 of the Regulations, the Fund’s actuary will calculate a new deficit or surplus of the Fund using an updated Projected Cessation Basis (reflecting updated date, current financials and any changes to the Fund’s demographic assumptions) and determine a revised Secondary Rate of Contributions payable by the charity. The revised Secondary Rate of Contributions may increase or decrease as a result of the actuarial valuations. The calculation of the Contributions by the Fund’s actuary will be, in part, determined by a discount rate which will be split into two parts:

If, at a valuation, the current Contributions and the Repayment Period are insufficient (or more than sufficient) to achieve full funding of the Exit Payment calculated on the Full Cessation Basis by the Expiry Date, Essex County Council shall have the discretion to consider a revised Expiry Date which will be set out in an Extension Notice.

Essex County Council has agreed that from the Exit Date and for the period of the Repayment Period, the assets attributable to the charity shall remain invested under an investment strategy in the same way and in accordance with the principles applicable to Fund employers with active members.

56 Annual report and financial statements 2021/22

On the termination of the Agreement, the charity shall become an Exiting Employer for the purpose of Regulation 64(1) of the Regulations and may be liable to an exit payment or entitled to receive an exit credit (as appropriate). This will be determined by the Fund’s actuary preparing a valuation as at the date on which the Agreement terminates of the liabilities of the Fund in respect to benefits in respect to the charity’s current and/or former employees. This valuation will result in a revised rates and adjustments certificate showing the exit payment due from the charity or the excess of assets in the Fund relating to the charity over the liabilities and therefore resulting in a repayment to the charity.

At 31 March 2022, the Fund’s actuaries have determined that the Secondary Contribution payable by the charity for the year to 31 March 2023 will be £350,000. This has been calculated on the basis described above. Under the Agreement, no Primary Contributions are due to be paid from 7 December 2021.

The next triennial valuation of the Fund is effective from 1 April 2023 at which point the charity’s position will be revisited and revised Secondary Contributions will be payable. However, the Fund’s actuaries have indicated that at the present time and based on calculations performed at the Exit Date, current estimates suggest that the charity will be required to make payments of £350,000 per annum for each of the years 2022/23 through to 2032/33. Therefore, a provision for these payments has been included on the charity’s balance sheet as at 31 March 2022 discounted at a rate of 2.6% (the rate used in the valuation calculations by the Fund’s actuaries) equating to £3,568,5766 million. This provision will be updated in future years based on the Fund valuations and may increase or decrease depending on the valuation results.

This remeasurement of the pension liability (i.e. the actuarial estimate of future contributions) has been reflected within other gains and losses on the statement of financial activities, with the full estimated liability included as a provision on the balance sheet in order to show the charity’s amended membership status within the Fund with effect from 7 December 2021.

(c) As at 31 March 2021, the charity participated as an active member in the Essex Pension Fund (the Fund). As an active member, the charity was required under Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) to include on its balance sheet as at that date the surplus or deficit on the Scheme as at 31 March 2021, calculated in accordance with the requirements of FRS 102. For the purpose of FRS 102, the assets of the scheme were taken at market value as at that date and the liabilities have been calculated by a qualified independent actuary.

FRS 102

In order to assess the actuarial value of the charity’s assets and liabilities as at 31 March 2021, the actuaries have rolled forward the actuarial value of the assets and liabilities at 31 March 2020.

Annual report and financial statements 2021/22 57

The major assumptions used by the actuary in preparing the FRS 102 figures for the year ended 31 March 2021 were:
