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’).

  3. 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

  4. 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).

BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR COMMUNITY CHILD HEALTH

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024

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 2024.

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 meets four times per year and 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:

The day-to-day management of BACCH is performed by the Executive Officer, supported by the Assistant Administrator.

Trustees and officers with a portfolio are elected via open recruitment from among the membership.

There are 16 regional coordinators, to represent the views of members throughout the country. (Previously there were 18 coordinators, one for each of the old NHS Regions – changes to the regional structure and coordinator job description were agreed at June 2024 Council and will reported in full in the 2024-25 report.) Coordinators serve for a period of four years, which an election by members in the region held if more than one application for the post is received. There is a job description for roles on 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:

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024 CONTINUED

External organisations

The registered office is 5-11 Theobalds Road, London WC1X 8SH. Since March 2020, the administrative work has mostly been done remotely and BACCH no longer has a dedicated office at the RCPCH building. However, BACCH has reached an agreement with the College and BACCH staff, like RCPCH staff, can book a hot desk on days they wish to attend the office. BACCH has two part-time salaried employees at the end of May 2024. 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.

The prime risk to which BACCH is exposed continues to be financial 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.
