## **The main achievements and performance of the charity during the year.**
Our achievements are the following:
- 1) We continue to remain Accredited with PSA.

3) Continue to offer Portfolio Route to membership for Non BAPT trained PT's.
4) BAPT Book - Published in 2019 - a huge achievement.
5) Continue to hold Conferences each year, albeit virtually in 2020 - it was important to continue to provide training & support for members and Non-members alike, despite the Covid 19 pandemic. 6) Held a virtual/online AGM to ensure we upheld the legal requirements that we have and also enable members to raise any questions.
7) Increase in Membership - we agreed to extend the NQT reduced fee period for the last cohort that qualified in 2019, past the initial 1st year due to the restrictions Covid 19 made on their ability to maintain employment during the shutdown. We are also maintaining the NQT reduced fee for the current cohort who are just graduating, to ease their first year.
8) BAPT Magazine has become an online Newsletter - BAPT Journal continues to be published annually.
9) We have appointed 3 lay members to the Professional Conduct Panel, who bring a wealth of experience in different but related areas to strengthen the team.
10) We continue to have 2 Lay members on the Board who are a major asset to the Organisation. 11) Continue to work alongside the Universities whose courses we accredit to ensure accredited training continues to produce highly trained PT's, despite the difficulties that Covid 19 has raised. 12) Continue to be part of the Accredited registers Collaborative and to work with other Organisations.
13) Continue to uphold legal requirements to file what is needed at Companies House and Charity Commission.
14) Despite suffering an online fraud earlier in 2020, BAPT continues to thrive. The following accounts will show that BAPT remains financially sound.
## _**The difference the charity's performance during the year has made to the beneficiaries of the charity and the degree to which it has benefited wider society.**_
Through our main activities we have ensured that our members acquire appropriate standards of play therapy training, continual professional development and supervision to protect the children, young people and adults under their care. This in turn benefits those end users and the wider public.

## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 30 September 2020**
## _**Financial review of the position at the reporting date, 30 September 2020 .**_
The trustees consider the financial performance by the charity during the year to have been satisfactory.
Specific changes in fixed assets are detailed in the notes to the accounts.
## _**Policies on reserves.**_
The association adopts a policy of budgeting to monitor receipt of, and application of, funds. By careful management we strive to ensure a sufficient level of funds for contingencies to meet our various requirements. The association has a reserves policy in common with all charities, which would provide a cushion if some of our varied sources of income that are available to the association were to fall short of their budget targets. As a result, our levels of liquidity are purposely maintained at a sufficient level to ensure our commitments are covered.
From an analysis of our situation it remains clear that the association needs to continue to generate additional income, the opportunities for grants and corporate donations will be further explored. The trustees are working hard to take advantage of any opportunities that lie before us.
## _**Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds**_
The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in the general purposes fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations.

## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 30 September 2020**
## **Statement of the Directors' and Trustees' Responsibilities**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations,the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016), (The SORP), .
In particular, the Companies Act 2006 and charity law require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to :-
- to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business;
- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
The law requires that the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for the year.
The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees' report, and the statutory responsibility of the Independent Examiner in relation to the Trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that , on the face of the report, there are no material inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.

## **Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the charitable company on the accounts for the year ended 30 September 2020**
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charitable company on pages 12 to 27 for the year ended 30 September 2020 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 18.
## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner and the basis of the report**
As described on page 8, you, the charitable company's Trustees, who are also the Directors of the Company for the purposes of Company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and all other applicable law and with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, applicable to smaller entities, and for being satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view.
The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the memorandum and articles of the charity for the conducting of an audit, and that the accounts do not require an audit in accordance with Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and that no member or members have requested an audit pursuant to Section 476 of the Companies Act 2006. As a consequence, the Trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements are not required to be audited under any legal provision, or otherwise, and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-
a) examine the financial statements of the charity under Section 145 of the Act;
b) follow the applicable procedures in the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement and scope of work undertaken**
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under s145 of the Act. In carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act setting out the duties of an independent examiner in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charitable company and of the accounting systems employed by the charitable company and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you, as Trustees, concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of charity legislation and that, on a test basis of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures made, the financial statements comply with the SORP.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the Trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries and does not cover all the matters that an auditor would consider in arriving at an opinion. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide
10
## **The British Association of Play Therapists Limited**
Consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.
I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtained written assurances from the Trustees of all material matters.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement, Report and Opinion**
Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above, I have completed my examination: and can confirm that:-
The accounts of this charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006;
This is a report in respect of an examination carried out under 145 of the Act and in accordance with Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act which may be applicable;
and that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by Section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and Section 130 of The Charities Act 2011;
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination;
have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles set out in the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016), (The SORP).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

## **The British Association of Play Therapists Limited**
## **Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 September 2020**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## _**Policies relating to the production of the accounts.**_
## **Basis of preparation and accounting convention**
The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , effective January 2016, , and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016), (The SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice.
Measurement and estimation - Where appropriate, the trustees have exercised their judgement in measuring the value of income and expenditure and of assets and liabilities. There have been no material items requiring disclosure in the current or previous year.
## **Risks and future assumptions**
The charity is a public benefit entity.
The trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks.
The association has policies and procedures in place designed to minimize any potential risk to the association. A review of all current risk assessments is carried out annually, or earlier should this be considered necessary. Risk assessments are introduced for any new activities undertaken by the association.
## _**Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.**_
## **Membership subscriptions**
The income and any associated Gift Aid or other tax refund from a membership subscription received by the charity in the nature of a gift, is accounted for on the same basis as a donation.
The income from a membership subscription received by the charity where the subscription purchases the right to services or benefits is recognised as income from charitable activities.
## _**Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity.**_
## **Volunteers**
In accordance with the SORP, and in recognition of the difficulties in placing a monetary value on the contribution from volunteers, the contribution of volunteers is not included within the income of the charity. However, the trustees value the significant contribution made to the activities of the charity by unpaid volunteers and this is described more fully in Note5.
18
## **The British Association of Play Therapists Limited**
## **Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 September 2020**
## _**Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters.**_
## _**Tangible fixed assets**_
Tangible fixed assets are measured at their original cost value, or subsequent revaluation, or if donated, as described above. Cost value includes all costs expended in bringing the asset into its intended working condition.
Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets to their anticipated residual value ov estimated useful lives.
Plant and machinery
25 % on written down value
All fixed assets costing more than £1000 are capitalised.
A regular annual review of the likelihood of asset impairment is undertaken.
## **Debtors**
Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.
## **Creditors and provisions**
Creditors and provisions are measured at the balance sheet date using generally accepted accounting principles and are analysed between those falling due within one year and those due after more than one year.
## **Fund Accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the cha
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes. There are no such funds at the balance sheet date.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal or as implied by law. There are no such funds at the balance sheet date.
## **2 Liability to taxation**
The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
## **3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity**
If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.
