The Relationships Foundation
Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31st August 2020
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objectives of the Relationships Foundation, as stated in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, are:
- To carry out research into theological and ethical principles and economic and social issues concerning the organisation and conduct of human relationships in personal and public life by: a) Carrying out and/or commissioning research projects; and
b) Evaluating the results of research projects and applying the same for the public benefit, in particular, but not exclusively, by sponsoring public initiatives.
- To provide education and training to the general public in the promotion and encouragement of improved organisational and personal relationships.
In order to further these two objectives we work with political and civic leaders, private and public sector organisations, voluntary bodies and the general public.
A concern for relationships lies at the heart of the Foundation's work. Based on existing research, the Foundation believes that good relationships are essential to individual and collective wellbeing and, therefore, that a central goal of public policy should be to create an environment conducive to the formation and development of good relationships at all levels of society. Consequently, it works to see the importance of relationships recognised and acted upon in public and private life through a combination of research programmes, practical initiatives and strategic partnerships which help shape public policy, encourage best practice and equip people to think and act more relationally.

The Relationships Foundation
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st August 2020
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Activities and achievements
Having had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit the trustees believe that Relationships Foundation's activities deliver public benefit through:
-
Incubating new initiatives that can strengthen relationships.
-
Creating a more supportive climate for family and community relationships by improving public understanding of how family, community and organisational relationships are essential for improved social outcomes and the impact of public policy on such relationships.
-
Campaigns to protect and strengthen specific relationships, or to counter specific pressures on them; and
-
Consultancy to enable organisations to improve the assessment and conduct of their relationships.
During the course of the year our main activities have been in the following areas:
1. Relational Schools
Our overall concern is to promote greater understanding and improved practice with regard to the role of relationships in supporting better outcomes was focused on a number of projects. We also promoted the lessons of our work to schools, teaching professions, educational development institutes and policymakers through articles, research, books, public speaking and social media.
Our largest project involved working as part of the ‘IntegratED’ multi agency project headed by the Centre for Social Justice, on behalf of Porticus International. This project is an ongoing three-year project (May 2nd, 2019 to May 3rd, 2022) to compare and contrast the quality of relationships in ten "outlier" alternative provision settings and a wider benchmarking group also drawn from the alternative provision sector. The target population is children in severe adversity or disadvantage who are disproportionately most likely to be inappropriately excluded from state Secondary schools in England, and once excluded are most likely to receive sub-optimal Alternative Provision.
Our main work has been with schools in Australia and Canada looking at both student-student and student-teacher relationships. Schools received their own detailed report enabling them to reflect on how best to support relationships in the school.
A major development was working with a data analytic partner in Australia, Finity, to undertake multivariate regression modelling of data from these students including our measurement of the wellbeing of each of these students. This revealed significant findings about the extent to which relationships with both other students and teachers are highly protective of wellbeing. We were also able to support schools with better understanding about the influence of school size, academic ability, gender and parental separation on students' relationships and their correlation with wellbeing.
Our CEO Rob Loe was requested to speak at the Korean Educational Development Institute in Korea and the Church of England Educational Leadership Conference, where he presented on the work of Relational Schools.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st August 2020
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
We supported the continuation of the Suffolk and Norfolk School-Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) programme, one of England's largest, commissioning Relational Schools, in partnership with Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing and the Open University, to carry out a five-year longitudinal research and development programme. This explores the impact of a trainee teacher's social and professional relationships on their success as a trainee and thereafter as a teacher. Relationships influence the ways in which people cope with stress, access support and advice, learn, collaborate, and find fulfilment in their work. Understanding the relational factors that make it more likely that some people will either not complete their training or leave the profession in their early career could inform earlier and effective interventions for early career teachers. The research is also set against the backdrop of an international crisis in teacher retention, particularly acute in their early careers. The intervention combines identification of vulnerable training teachers with generating data to inform the planned deployment of financial and human capital, aimed to maximize retention.
Combining our relationship measurement surveys with social network analysis and assessment of personality traits found a number of risk factors including scores for 'self-management' and 'working with others'; being male; not living with family/partner; having children of primary school age; losing touch with longstanding friends; non-engagement with social media groupings with peers; lack of support with planning. Protective factors were CPSQ scores for 'coping' or 'caring and compassion'; using friends and family for relaxation; having friends and family who also help professionally; strong relationship with mentor; strong relationship with tutor(s); strong relationships with other staff in schools, in particular teaching assistants; positive experiences of using social media with peers.
2. A more supportive climate for families
During the year our support for family relationships was also expressed in continuing support for the Family Stability Network (FASTN), an initiative funded by the Oglesby Charitable Trust. We provided continuing consultancy support, focused on advising FASTN's Executive Director and responding to the government's plans for a new Relationships and Sex Education curriculum for schools.
3. Keep Sunday Special campaign
Relationships Foundation hosts the Keep Sunday Special campaign which seeks to protect shared time for family and community life. Our research has shown that many people are required to work on weekends, and Sundays in particular, when they would prefer not to. For parents this has a significant impact on both time spent with children, time together as a couple, as well hindering other care responsibilities and community involvement. As well as responding to media enquiries we worked with our campaign partners, most notably the Association of Convenience Stores, other retail groups, the shopworkers union USDAW, politicians and various churches and faith groups.
4. RView

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st August 2020
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
At the start of the year we commissioned the building of a bespoke survey platform to administer our Relational Proximity ® surveys to enable us to save considerably on ongoing per survey costs and to be able to provide a better service for the schools we serve, enabling us to create bespoke surveys tailored to the unique needs of each individual school. We were pleased to appoint Dr James Griffin Ph.D as a Senior Researcher with responsibility of further developing the reporting capabilities of RView and in particular the online dashboard.
5. Partnerships
Discussions are in place with UK based We Are Company Ltd and Australian based Neometric LLC to develop new tools for the measurement of and leading the improving of key relationships within NGOs and for profit organisations.
6. Relational Analytics
Discussion commenced on the transfer of 70% of the existing shares in Relational Analytics Ltd to Relationships Foundation.
7. IP transfer
Discussions commenced on the transfer of all existing IP from Relational Research Ltd to Relationships Foundation.
8. RL to Australia
In June 2020 Rob Loe moved to Australia to take on a part time role with Christian Schools Australia and became group CEO and continues to work for Relationships Foundation one day per week. Day to day running of UK operations was given to Neil Prem who became Executive Director.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the Trustees to hold an amount in free reserves equivalent to 3 month's salary costs. The free reserves as of 31st August 2020 met this target.
The financial outcome for the year was a deficit of £91,751 compared to a surplus of £144,061 the previous year. Free reserves at 31st August 2020 were £213,834.
We have continued to invest in the development of the RView survey platform and Rview Reporting Dashboard and new schools’ projects and partnerships in the USA and Australia in which there will be significant areas of activity in the coming years.

FUTURE PLANS
The ongoing Covid-19 global pandemic has caused many of our scheduled projects to be put on indefinite hold. This will impact both our financial position and reduce our impact. However we expect to see significant growth over the next few years in our schools both internationally and in the UK with the prospective of developing additional long term partnerships and potential joint ventures.
Earlier discussions with ACSI in USA are expected to now result in a pilot project in June 2021.

Trustees' Responsibility Statement for the Year Ended 31st August 2020
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees (who are also the directors of the Relationships Foundation for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31st August 2020
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Grant income is included when the related conditions to the grant have been met. Donations are credited to the revenue account when received.
All other income is accounted for on a receivable basis.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
-
Costs of generating funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary and grant related income
-
Direct charitable expenditure included the direct costs of the activities and depreciation on related assets
-
Governance costs include those incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements
-
Supports costs include central functions and where such costs relate to more than one functional cost category, they have apportioned in line with direct salary costs of the relevant service. As a smaller charity The Relationships Foundation opted out from reporting by activity to reporting by the nature of expenditure.
Tangible and intangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Tangible and intangible fixed assets
Fixtures and fittings - 20% on reducing balance Computer equipment - 33% on reducing balance
During the year, Jubilee House recognised an intangible research asset of £169,248 relating to the costs incurred in developing reporting software and templates for the work of the Relationships Foundation. As Jubilee House is to become a dormant company in the coming year, this asset was transferred to the Relationships Foundation which is now using the software and reporting templates in the course of its work. In the opinion of the directors/trustees, this asset has a life of 5 years and hence is amortised at annual rate of 20% over that period.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
