I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 May 2021 which are set out on pages 3 to 21.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
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 accounts to be reached.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR COMMUNITY CHILD HEALTH
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021
The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2021.
The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1.
Structure, governance and management
Governing document
The British Association of Community Child Health (BACCH) is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee, incorporated 31 October 2008. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed by its Articles of Association. In the event of the charity being wound up, members are each required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 to the assets of the company.
Organisational structure and management
BACCH is managed by an Executive Committee (EC) which comprises of the trustees, elected officers with portfolios, and representatives from the affiliated groups. The EC is responsible for the day to day decisions of BACCH and works closely with the Executive Officer to implement the day to day decisions and strategic direction, in particular:
-
controlling the administration of the charity;
-
agreeing the strategic aims, objectives and direction of the charity;
-
ensuring that there is identification of risks and management of those risks; and
-
ensuring that the income of the charity is applied for the purposes as set out in its governing document
The day-to-day management of BACCH is performed by the Executive Officer, supported by the Assistant Administrator.
The EC meets four times per year. Trustees and officers with a portfolio are elected via open recruitment from among the membership. A regional coordinator exists for each of the old NHS Regions to represent the views of members throughout the country. This corresponds to the area covered by the Royal College of Paediatric and Child Health (RCPCH) Regional Advisers and Council Representatives. Coordinators are elected for a period of four years by members in the relating region. A job description has been produced for members of the Executive Committee and the Regional Coordinators, which specifies the knowledge, skills and attributes needed by the members.
BACCH also has a Council which acts as a forum for debate and information exchange, and discusses the future direction of the organisation. It meets every six months and comprises the Executive Committee, the regional coordinators and representation from external organisations and groups affiliated to BACCH including:
Affiliated groups
-
British Association of Paediatricians in Audiology (BAPA)

The registered office remains at 5-11 Theobalds Road, London WC1X 8SH. However, as part of the response to COVID-19 the administrative work has been done remotely since March 2020, and BACCH will continue to use a mix of office-based and remote working in the future. BACCH has two part-time salaried employees at the end May 2021. The Association benefits from a great deal of voluntary work by its members in the organisation of meetings, service on committees and panels and many other activities.
Risk assessment and management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
The trustees regularly review the risks to which BACCH is exposed, particularly activity, operational and financial risks and to ensure procedures and reporting regimes to manage and reduce any identified risks are in place. During this year the trustees have taken account of the impact of COVID-19 in relation to its activities
The prime risk to which BACCH is exposed continues to be financial (and even more so now due to the COVID-19 pandemic) and this risk is the predominant determinate of the level of free reserves held by BACCH pursuant to its Reserves Policy. The trustees are satisfied that the current level of reserves is adequate to meet both unforeseen contingencies and the costs of the developmental activities planned for the future.
Objectives and charitable activities
Charitable objects
The main object of the charity is to promote and protect the good health of children and their families in their communities.
Charitable activities
The charity aims to meet its main objectives by providing advice and information for Government, Medical Royal Colleges and other organisations by education, training and provision of information services for doctors and other health professionals, and by the auditing and monitoring of outcomes.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's objectives and aims, and in planning future activities for the year.
To achieve this our objectives are to offer support, information and training to our membership, to work constructively and in partnership with other agencies and organisations to continually improve health services for children and young people, and to improve the health of all children by advocating for the needs of the most disadvantaged.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR COMMUNITY CHILD HEALTH
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021 CONTINUED
Membership
BACCH launched a new website and membership system in March 2020 (as outlined in last year’s Trustees’ Report). This necessitated the organisation having to ask all its members to set up new Direct Debit mandates to continue to pay their subscription fees. Despite repeated reminders, over 300 existing members did not set up a new mandate (some due to retirement), and their membership records were deleted in May 2021. Therefore, membership numbers were down from a total of 1,032 on 31 May 2020 to 812 on 31 May 2021 (including 171 new members who joined during the year):
Ordinary: 575 (812) Trainee 169 (158) Retired 40 (52) Affiliate 5 (5) Overseas 4 (5) Student* 19 (0)
(Figures in brackets are for previous financial year June 2019 to May 2020)
including 45 who took advantage of the free year’s membership offer for SAS doctors *newly-launched category for medical students and FY doctors
Members are eligible to subscribe at a reduced rate to the journal Child: Care, Health and Development (published by Wiley), either receiving online access only, or online access and a print copy. During the year 449 (709) members took advantage of this offer.
Financial review and reserves policy
Financial review
The financial performance of the charity is comprehensively disclosed in the attached financial statements but the following explains some of the key results and variances of the year:
Income from events (surplus made by the ASM, regional events and Trainee Day) was down from £16,034 in 2019-20 to £13,655 in 2020-21. The drop in surplus was due to holding virtual events but was not as significant as initially feared, mainly due to the lower running costs of online events versus in-person conferences.
Membership subscription income was down from £114,765 in 2019-20 to £83,605 in 2020-21. As outlined in the membership section above, this was largely due to a drop in membership numbers following the introduction of the new BACCH website and membership system in March 2020.
There was a slight reduction in staff costs from £68,947 in 2019-20 to £67,985 in 2020-21, due to a decrease in working hours from February 2021 by one member of the BACCH staff team.
Due to the closure since March 2020 of the RCPCH building, in which BACCH rents office space, a partial refund on rental costs was offered by the College, meaning rent costs reduced from £10,135 in 2019-20 to £2,669 in 2020-21

BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR COMMUNITY CHILD HEALTH
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021 CONTINUED
Financial review continued
Due mainly to the reduction in subscription fees income, the overall deficit for the year was -£33,272 (2020 -£16,750) and the overall reserves for 2020-21 were £122,371, down from £155,643 in 2019-20.
The Trustees consider that although membership income was down in 2020-21 compared to the previous year, it is likely to increase by the 2021-22 year-end due to a steady stream of new members joining throughout the year.
The Treasurer and incoming Deputy Treasurer will be actively working to address the fall in income in planning for both the current financial year and beyond.
The Trustees have taken account of the significant changes in income from events, together with the reduction in membership income. The COVID-19 Pandemic was the cause of the former, with the latter at least in part due to changes to our membership system. The Trustees have looked forward and reviewed the likely ongoing impact of the Pandemic on activity, and consider in light of this, together with the mitigations of reduced operating costs, that the charity remains in a satisfactory financial position.
Reserves policy
The EC has examined the Association's requirements for free reserves in the light of predominant risks to the Association. These are identified as loss of income through reduced membership numbers and reduced numbers at the annual scientific meeting. The Association is committed to a reserves policy of one year's charitable activities expenditure to be available. Reserves are below the standard recommended by Charity Commission. However, the Trustees consider this is currently appropriate given the exceptional circumstances of the last 18 months.
Investment policy
The Association has powers under its constitution to make such investments as the Executive Committee see fit and which meet with the requirements of its objectives and funds. The policy is to invest funds and reserves in bank deposits. The return on investments is satisfactory in the current economic climate.
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also directors of British Association For Community Child Health for the purpose 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).
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 which 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.
