Additional governance issues:
Parish wide business is dealt with by the trustees of the charity (the Parochial Church Council) The Standing Committee is the only committee required to be in existence by church law and has the power to transact the business of the PCC The members ofthe Standing committee are clergy (The Rev'd Benjamin Wilkinson), treasurer (currently in vacancy) and wardens ofthe parish (Miss Margaret Parrett, Mr Richard McPhail ). Other PCC committees are formed. sometimes as a short term measure. to deal with specific issues: e.g. mission partnership committee Food Store/King's Kitchen management committee and the joint Safeguarding group (with St Mary's Balderstone).
It is considered that all PCC members and any others who could be understood to be ‘managers’ in the activities and affairs of the church.as defined in Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 - have completed declarations confirming that they are “fit and proper” persons under the terms of the Finance Act 2010.
This report is made in accordance with the Church Representation Rules (2020) and is separate from any statement or address that the incumbent may wish to make or any report that any individual or parish group may present at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting
Risk Assessment:
The PCC recognises that in relation to 'Risk Assessment, risk is defined as 'the threat of any action or event which will adversely affect an organisation's ability to achieve its objectives and execute its strategies . It also accepts that the term 'risk can include any circumstances that may or do have an adverse effect and is wider that financial matters Risks relate not only to the negative consequences of a threat but also the impact of not taking advantage of opportunities.
The PCC recognises it requires a practical Health and Safety Policy covering activities for both churches the Parish Rooms and their surrounding grounds. This is reviewed on a regular basis. An accident book is maintained at both churches.
The contents and obligations of the Equality Act 2010 and the 2018 General Data Protection Regulations are known and complied with to the best of the PCC's ability. The PCC is aware of its responsibilities in respect of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in its requirements to carry out a fire assessment to identify any possible dangers and risks to take action to minimise the risks and to create a plan to deal with any emergencies, and also to write and keep record of its findings and to review its assessment annually. The PCC has appointed Miss Margaret Parrett to be the responsible person to put these into operation.
There is a Protection Policy in place in respect to children and young people and vulnerable adults. Checks have been made with the Disclosure and Baring Service (formerly the CRB) in respect of persons dealing regularly with children and young people and vulnerable adults and safeguarding training is undertaken by all volunteers. The PCC officers appointed for this are Mrs Kim Wrigley and Mrs Sue Smithies. Whilst it is impossible to eliminate all risks and their consequences, efforts are constantly made to minimise such occurrences

Independent Examiner’s unqualified report to the members of the P.C.C. of the Parish of Christ Church Chadderton.
Accounts for the year ended 31‘ December 2025 as set out on pages 10 to 14 of this Report.
Respective responsibilities of the P.C.C. and the examiner.
The P.C.C. members acting as the charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for the year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011(the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 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 to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the Independent Examiner’s statement.
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission and the guidance published in PCC Accountability (The Charities Act 2011 and the P.C.C.), 5" edition). An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with these records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required for 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 matter has come to my attention which gives me ‘ cause to believe that in, any material respect:
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, or the accounts do not accord to the accounting records.
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order.to enable a proper understanding of the accounts is reached. Signed. Alan A Cements Date /S6h Apr! 2028. Name Revd. A. A. Clements
