Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2021
Structure, governance and management
Governing documents
NWG is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 7th April 2008. The work of the charity is governed by the Memorandum and Articles of Association which were updated in April 2015.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
A director (who also serves as a trustee and management group member) must be aged 18 years or older. Directors are appointed at the Annual General Meeting or by the other directors. The Articles of Association contains the normal explanation of the duties involved. At each Annual General Meeting, one third of the directors, or, if their number is not 3 or a multiple of 3, the number nearest to one third, must retire from office by rotation. Retiring directors can stand for reappointment again if they wish to do so. However a trustee can only stand for 3 consecutive terms. Should they wish to return they can stand for reappointment after a 12 month period. Potential directors could be identified by personal recommendation, or by advertising the vacancy via the mailing list.
Membership Structure
The NWG Network is made up of professionals who are individuals, organisations and projects who work with young people at risk of, or affected by, sexual exploitation, or those undertaking policy and research work in this area.
There is a fixed fee structure for individuals and projects allowing full paying members access to the whole website.
Risk Management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charitable company is exposed, and to ensure that appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The trustees undertake this duty through the maintenance of a risk register which is updated on an ongoing basis. The entire register is reviewed on an annual basis.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2021
Objectives and activities
The charities objects are to promote, enable and develop the protection of children and young people who are affected by sexual exploitation, in particular but not exclusively by:
-providing forums for projects or organisations concerned with the sexual exploitation of young people
-providing links into current research, policy and project developments within the field of sexual exploitation of young people, and offering opportunity for examples of good, improving and developing practice to be shared and discussed
-encouraging the co-ordination of different approaches and aiming to contribute to the development of a UK wide policy and practice concerning the sexual exploitation of young people
-encouraging a child centred practice that recognises and respects diversity
-developing an appropriate support network for services working with young people at risk of, or experiencing sexual exploitation
-enabling the charity to be heard as a collective group of projects and organisations working in the field of sexual exploitation
-assisting in the eradication of the sexual exploitation of young people.
The policies adopted in furtherance of these objects are in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association and other policies and procedures including the Child Protection policy and the Equality and Diversity policy. All policies are being reviewed alongside a review of the governance structure.
Public Benefit
Our aims and objectives fall within the description of the charitable purposes set out in the Charities Act 2006. The very nature of the aims and objectives is, we believe, self evidently open, outward looking and inclusive. and therefore for the public benefit. The directors have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Details of activities undertaken to further the aims and objectives
The NWG is a unique organisation in that it is the only body which represents and directly supports all those who work with sexually exploited children and young people. A full range of NWG meetings, activities and training events took place over the last year. The NWG remains the only UK wide network in contact with all providers of child sexual exploitation services and with an in-depth knowledge of provision across the country. One of its key strengths has been its ability to unite extremely diverse services (our membership covers statutory, voluntary and private sector organisations, generic and specialist youth provision, child protection organisations, research, policymakers and frontline practitioners) to work together effectively in this area. We have continued to work with government departments through working groups and roundtable events, individual meetings with a range of teams working on different aspects of Child Sexual Exploitation and trafficking within the UK.

Achievements and performance
The last year has been a testing one for everyone, changing practice to suit the restrictions we all faced and ensuring we supported practitioners to better respond to the child protection risks during the Covid-19 pandemic has been a challenge for all.
The disruption to daily routines, families, and our communities will have had negative consequences for many children and young people's wellbeing and in some cases their own safety.
Our work has developed into sharing the evolving practice virtually so that access for practitioners is easy, learning from each other, sharing innovative ways of engaging with young people and their families, what has worked and more importantly what are the improved ways of working that we will take forward with us post pandemic.
Our network was as always ready to help each other to manage the challenges they faced and supported each other to find ways forward. We have seen incredibly committed practitioners working so hard to ensure their young people were responded to in the best ways they could. We know that post pandemic there will be further challenges as the opportunities to recognise the vulnerabilities and harm some children will have experienced and that service are likely to be further stretched to meet the need.
The year has seen us develop resources with partners to support frontline practitioners such as the 'Parents as Safeguarding Partners Benchmarking Tool 2021, the Missing Children's Response Assessment tool 2021, we were part of the Commissioning Group for the Centre of Social Justice 'Unsafe Children' report and Expert Reference for the paper released by Home Secretary Priti Patel, 'Group based child Sexual Exploitation Characteristics of Offending.
Our Child Exploitation Awareness Day was another virtual event that went well again. The benefit this year is that many local authorities, charities, police forces and others now have the day firmly embedded in their annual diaries which makes the rollout of the day so much more effective.
Our annual conference went virtual too, with presentation from the Right Honourable Sajid Javid, Thorn from the USA, Plymouth Children's Partnership, Lucy - a parent and Gavin McKenna alongside a range of special interest groups sharing practice and research. We thank them and all the network who contributed to conference for sharing their work and experiences with us.

Year ended 31 March 2021
Financial review
During the year there has been an increase in the level of unrestricted reserves. At the beginning of the year these reserves stood at £220,330 and at the 31st March 2021 had moved to £250,094.
In order to achieve the objects of our strategic plan, NWG will aim:
-to continue to involve young people in consultation around issues of sexual exploitation
-to increase professional knowledge
-to share effective practice
-to develop a wide range of resources
-to work with a range of law enforcement agencies to improve responses
-to work with statutory, voluntary and community agencies, private and social enterprise companies to educate, prevent and improve responses to child sexual exploitation.
We will continue to maintain accurate records of income and expenditure and exercise vigorous financial management. We will produce regular financial reports as well as audited annual financial statements in accordance with SORP, Charity Commission and Companies House requirements.
Principal Funding Sources
The principal funding sources for the charity are set out in note 5.
Investment Policy
The Board has considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds subject to the overriding requirement of maintaining liquidity of funds. For the present it has concluded that excess funds are to be invested with the bank and available for immediate access.
Reserves Policy
The Board has considered the level of reserves that are required, and has concluded that 3 to 6 months of normal expenditure is the minimum that should be retained at present.
This level of reserves will be reviewed on an annual basis in the future.
A review of the grant contracts has led to a move in definition of which grant funding is classed as restricted and which unrestricted. As such most of the grants have been moved into the restricted category. This has had the consequence of suggesting significant spend of our unrestricted over the last 2 years but should be understood under this new context.
Trustees' responsibilities statement
The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

NWG Network
Company Limited by Guarantee
Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2021
Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting 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.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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.
Auditor
Each of the persons who is a trustee at the date of approval of this report confirms that:
-
so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity's auditor is unaware; and
-
they have taken all steps that they ought to have taken as a trustee to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's auditor is aware of that information.
The auditor is deemed to have been re-appointed in accordance with section 487 of the Companies Act 2006.
Small company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of NWG Network
Year ended 31 March 2021
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of NWG Network (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 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:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
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 charity 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 the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out below, 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.
Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board's Ethical Standards for Auditors, including "APB Ethical Standard - Provisions Available for Small Entities (Revised)", in the circumstances set out below:
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 charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve 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.

Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. 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:
-
the information given in the trustees' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' 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:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the directors' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors 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 determine is 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 charity'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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

NWG Network
Company Limited by Guarantee
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of NWG Network (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2021
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 are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:
Audit risks identified
-
the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance;
-
results of our enquiries of management, about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
-
any matters we identified having made enquiries about the documentation of their policies and procedures relating to:
-
identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of noncompliance;
-
detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
-
the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;
-
the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in relation to income recognition, banking procedures and segregation of duties. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act, UK Corporate Governance Code and local tax legislation.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty.
Audit response to risks identified
- 10 -
NWG Network
Company Limited by Guarantee
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of NWG Network (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2021
As a result of performing the above, we identified income recognition, management override of controls and related party transactions as key audit matters related to the potential risk of fraud. In order to mitigate the risk identified, enquiries were made of key management personnel as to the processes surrounding the recording of transactions and recognition of income, including agreement to remittance advices and grant agreements. The existence of related parties was enquired about with key management personnel and throughout the audit and review of the accounts (as well as the transactions included therein) it was ensured that there were no disclosable items or transactions which had not been conducted at arms length.
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, our procedures included reviewing and testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. Due to the minimal number of transactions throughout the financial year it was clear that there had been no management override of controls and that each transaction had been correctly and properly recorded as appropriate.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity'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 charity'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 charity and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 March 2021
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Suite 2 Innovation House, East Service Road, Raynesway, Derby, DE21 7BF.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association 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 UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015).
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. This is despite the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic and is due to the charity retaining sufficient reserves and cash balances to meet its obligations as they become due.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the purposes of the charity. Unrestricted funds include a revaluation reserve representing the restatement of investment assets at market values.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for specific purposes.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor.

Incoming resources
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income, any performance related conditions attached have been met or are fully within the control of the charity, the income is considered probable and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Donations and legacy income is received by way of donations, legacies, grants and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Where legacies have been notified to the charity but the criteria for income recognition have not been met, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity, being the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market.
Investment income is included when receivable.
Income from charitable trading activity is accounted for when earned.
Income from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:
Costs of raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting donations, grants and legacies and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SOFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis, as set out in the notes to the accounts.
Operating leases
Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible assets
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.
The charitable company received funding in the past which had been spent on certain fixed assets, mainly office furniture and computer equipment and these items had been treated as revenue rather than capital at the time. Accordingly these assets do not appear on the charitable company's balance sheet.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Motor Vehicles - 25% reducing balance
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
4. Limited by guarantee
Every member of the Company undertakes to contribute such an amount as may be required, but not exceeding £1, to the Company's assets if it should be wound up while he/she is a member, or within one year after he/she ceases to be a member of the Company, for payment of the Company's debts and liabilities contracted before he/she ceases to be a member and of the costs, charges and expenses of the winding up and for the adjustment of the rights of the contributories among themselves.
