**TRUSTEE ANNUAL REPORT (including Director** ’ **s report)** For the year ended 31 December 2022 

The trustees are pleased to present their annual trustees report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a trustees report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. 

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 (FRS 102) (effective October 2019) 

## **Directors’ Report** 

Much of the focus of 2022 was on building and strengthening our portfolio of courses and materials so that we could deliver all our training both online and face to face and pursue our charitable mission by offering resources and support to as many people as possible. Like everybody else, we have been learning to adjust to new ways of working, and although these will undoubtedly bring benefits in the long run, it is taking time to learn the new skills we need and to grow relationships in what has become a predominantly online world. 

Despite the retreat of the pandemic, many of our Leisurewatch members have also continued to struggle with a new normality.  Huge increases in energy bills have hit the leisure industry particularly hard, and the need to adapt and change has led to considerable changes in staffing. The switch from face to face to online training hasn’t always been easy to resource, particularly for frontline staff working in leisure centres as opposed to more senior staff working from home.  We have put a lot of effort into developing our online training sessions so that we make them as engaging and relevant as possible, but it has been good to be able to bring back more face to face sessions with groups of staff. 

Although financial and operational pressures on providers have continued to amount, we have been pleased that nearly all our Leisurewatch members have chosen to maintain their membership, finding the scheme helpful and good value.  We worked with them throughout the year on a number of challenging incidents and situations and provided advice, research and top-up training sessions to address concerns.  In addition to receiving training sessions for front line staff and managers, incident referrals, and advice, we now offer free and discounted places on our open courses to Leisurewatch members so that managers can add to their skills and knowledge in managing the risk of sexual offending more widely. 

We have expanded our range of online open courses during 2022, and have started to build more interest from a slow but encouraging start.  Our intention has been to provide good value one day courses so that individuals and small organisations can benefit from the expertise we have gathered, as well as large organisations able to commission tailored training.  This is working well, with people coming from housing, criminal justice, healthcare, local authorities and the voluntary sector.  Bringing people together from different work environments makes for interesting sessions, and our trainers are often able to assist with specific challenges participants raise during the day.

A number of larger organisations commissioned tailored courses during the year, giving excellent feedback, and we hope to continue to expand this area of our work in 2023. 

In addition to Leisurewatch and training, we took on an interesting new collaboration with NCFE, which commissioned TDI to deliver 6 podcasts aimed at the Further Education sector.  These were run through the NCFE website in November and December, and will be picked up and promoted more widely by FE News in 2023. 

Overall, this has been a positive year of development and consolidation.  Although we did not achieve our financial targets, we feel optimistic that we are now in a position to grow our reach and impact. 

2023 will be our 30th anniversary year.  We hope to support more organisations, large and small, with our courses and to reflect on our journey over the last three decades addressing problems which have never diminished in significance over the last three decades.  We are also looking forward to developing our work in the FE sector and exploring the particular issues facing providers in that field. 

As always, we are immensely grateful to everybody who helped us during the year. particular we thank two people who have made a particular contribution to TDI and will be leaving us after many years. Mike Brown retired at Christmas after serving as a trustee during some of our most challenging years. His stalwart support, expertise and good humour will be much missed, and he was generous in his time and advice, particularly around the management of our finances.  Matt Jenkins, who is leaving to spend some time travelling, has brought academic rigour and intellectual curiosity which has greatly added to the value of our work.  His work on creating our portfolio of courses and materials has given us the means to move forward, and he remains with us in virtual form in his ‘bite-size’ series of courses which he recorded for us, and in the podcasts we did with NCFE. 

## **1. Objectives and Activities** 

## **Aims of the Charity** 

TDI (The Derwent Initiative) is an independent UK charity, founded in 1993, which works to improve public protection by finding creative and practical approaches to reduce the risk of sexual offending. We create and deliver training, projects, consultancy and research, 

working with lay people and professionals throughout the UK. objectives are: 

- Throughout the United Kingdom and overseas to reduce the likelihood of sexual offending and to minimize its effects for the benefit of the public in general; 

- To advance education for the public benefit concerning the incidence, effects and treatment of sexual offences and offenders and their victims, and the services available in this respect; in particular but not exclusively of people involved, whether professionally or otherwise, with the care and treatment of sexual offenders, their victims, or parents and families of those victims. 

## **2. Public Benefit Statement** 

All of TDI’s activities are carried out for public benefit in accordance with Charity Commission guidance.

## **3. Achievements and Performance** 

## **Free resources** 

One of TDI’s charitable objectives is to advance education for the public benefit concerning the incidence, efforts and treatment of sexual offences and offenders and their victims, and the services available in this respect. To help fulfil this we have created the _Explainer_ series of 12 information sheets. These are basic introductions to key issues in our field, which can be accessed for free online as both webpages and printable PDFs. 

## **Courses** 

We provide our training in three different formats: 

_The Bitesize series_ : A series of 12 one-hour pre-recorded online courses, written and fronted by Dr Matt Jenkins, our Head of Research and our training team.  Each session includes an exercise and some signposting material. Access is available on demand for £25 per session. 

_Open Courses_ : Half-day courses run online with a live trainer, aimed at individuals working in organisations.  Each course includes 4 hours of training, a work book and materials. Currently four courses are offered: ‘Introduction to Working With Sex Offenders’, ‘Sexual Offending & Cognitive Impairment’, ‘Working With Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE)’, and ‘Sexual Harassment and Sexual Abuse In The Workplace’. These are run on a fortnightly schedule, to maximise access. Places on the course are available for £125 per attendee. 

_Bespoke Courses_ : As in previous years, we continue to allow organisations to commission a course specifically for their organisation, we can tailor a package to suit their needs, drawing on our wide experience.  This enables us to adapt to different levels of participants and address specific issues encountered by the organisation.  Packages start at 6 hours of training, and all courses include workbooks and materials, and follow up conversations with a senior trainer to pick up on any individual issues or feedback in the ensuing year. These courses are available for £1500 per 6-hour session, for up to 20 attendees. 

Organisations receiving training during 2022 included NACRO, Derbyshire NHS Trust, Carmarthenshire Council, Crisis, The Padley Group, Tyne Housing, On The Out and Changing Tunes. 

## **Leisurewatch** 

Training was delivered both online and face to face.  Additional sessions were offered to managers, and extra suport and advice was provided to a number of members in relation to particular incidents. 

## **Collaboration with NCFE** 

We were commissioned to deliver a series of 6 podcasts aimed at the FE sector.  Covering subjects including context, the law, accountability, compliance, technology and creating a safer community, they aim to give FE providers some guidance as to the sort of questions they should be posing in relation to their governance and operational management of risk of sexual harm.

## **4. Grant Funding** 

Grants were received from the Handley Trust and the Hadrian Trust, totalling £3,225. 

## **5. Investments** 

TDI made no investment in financial year 2022. 

## **6. Financial review** 

## **Review of the year** 

The results for the year and the company's financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements. 

During the year the Charity had income of £66,642 (2021: £83,965) and expenditure of £86,259 (2021: £82,661). There was an operating deficit of £19,617 (2021:  surplus of £1,304). 

At 31 December 2022 the Charity had net liabilities of £15,646 (2021: net assets of £3,971). 

## **No reserves/Going concern** 

Trustees regularly review the financial viability and sustainability of TDI.  Commissions and sales of training during 2022 were lower than target, resulting in an end of year operating loss of £19,617, a carryover of (£15,646). This was anticipated and trustees were made aware of the proposed plans to recover the position in 2023 and 2024. 

In early 2023 Matt Jenkins left TDI to go travelling, reducing payroll costs by approximately £20k.  Although replacing the tasks he covered will incur some expenditure, this is being done on a freelance basis and does not incur forward liabilities.  In view of this mitigation, together with the completion of the training resources, the increase in the number of courses available, and the greater publicity and marketing coming through the pro bono advice from supporters, trustees decided that it was reasonable to suppose that TDI would continue to be able to meet liabilities as they fall due and therefor that it continues to be a going concern. Financial sustainability wil continue to be addressed at every meeting of the trustees. 

4 



## **7. Risk Management** 

The Board of Trustees has overall responsibility for the management of the risks to which the Charity is exposed, although day-to-day risk management is a responsibility of the Chief Executive and staff. 

Risks identified by the Trustees, Chief Executive and staff relating to matters of finance, governance and delivery risks, will be considered at Trustee Meetings. This consideration will cover: 

- Initial risk assessment in terms of impact and likelihood 

- Initial risk rating 

- Counter measures 

- Responsibility / ownership 

- Timescale 

- Amended risk assessment in terms of impact and likelihood 

- Amended risk rating 

Plans for the management of identified risks will be created. Where appropriate, the Trustees will actively monitor these between meetings, with a reporting line between the Chief Executive and the Chair of the Board. 

Through the counter measures put in place and the regular reviews and updates, the Board is satisfied that the major risks identified have been adequately mitigated. It is recognised that this approach can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.

## **13. Statement of Trustee Responsibilities** 

The trustees, who are also directors 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 incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

- 

The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company 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 charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES** 

For the year ended 31 December 2022 

I report on the financial statements of The Derwent Initiative for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are set out on pages 10 to 18. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- h examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- h to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and 

- h to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- h accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or 

- h the accounts do not accord with such records; or 

- h the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under 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; or 

- h the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102). 

I�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 accounts to be reached.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has put pressure on all businesses in 2022. It should be noted that the trade debtors will be received and that the creditors are being paid when the payments are falling due. With the deferred income being held for the purposes of future expenditure during 2023. 

## 3 **Income** 

## 3.1 **Recognition of income**
