Equation Nottinghamshire ANNUAL REPORT Year ending 31 March 2022 equaTiJn equal relationships free from abuse Message from our Chair 'Our gool isfvr everyone to hove equal, healthy relationships. in a societyfreefrom domesti abuse. sexual violence and gender inequalit As we emerge from the global pandemic, this year has been a time for con501idation, growth and development for Equation in response to the increased levels of domestic abuse and risk reported over the last 2 years. The impact of lockdown on families who are experiencing domestic and sexual violence has been profound and longstanding, with services for survivors in great demand. Media focus has also raised attention of the need for education and preventative work, starting in schools and helping children to understand what positive relationships that are free from abuse really look like. As a society, we are also developing our understanding of how domestic abuse can be experienced by anyone, in any relationship. Equation's key services of providing training for practitioners working with familie5; delivering awareness raising sessions to children & young people in schools and providing support for men experiencing domestic abuse are essential. Our vision, v3lLJes and strategic objectives are laid out in the Equation Strategy 2019- 2022 and we remain focused on delivering these, learning from the delivery methods used during the last 2 years, combined with returning lo face-to-face training and school sessions to provide the best of both worlds. We moved office5 during this year which has supported everyone to work in a more open, collaborative space more suited to our needs. We undertook some work to develop our infrastructure, including a pay review,. the development & implementation of a risk management approach,. the developrnent & implementation of a communications strategy and formalising the reporting through our committee structure. We continue to work closely with other organisations in the sector, especially Juno Women's Aid, Nottinghamshire Women's Aid, NottinEhamshire Sexual Violence Support Services, and the Nottingham Women's Centre ,to ensure we provide a joined up and strategic approach. Our Values Positivity Fligor Collaboration Passion Compassion The Equation Team As always, the Equation team of staff, volunteers and freelancers is at the heart of everything we do.

Anne Partington, Chair of Trustee5, Equatlon Workstream Reports Survivors & Perpetrators There are three main support service areas under the Survivors & Perpetrators arm of Equation. The men's helpline and men's IDVA Ihigh & medium riskl service, which also caters for IOM referrals. The IDVA team also cover a separate strand of work of non-DA Stalking cases. The second and third elements of the teams, work are,. the Safer Accommodation and Outreach service which caters for men and LGBTQ+ and the Perpetrator Programme called the Your Choice Project. Domestic Abuse Service for Men OveNiew.' Total Number of Cases referred into service between 2021-2022- 789 in total. The helpline received over 1000 calls in the period, half were from professional enquiries and half from survivors some new referrals, some seeking updates on their case. city 294 North 236 789 Cases Within the number of the referrals the team supported 625 clients who were referred, or self-referred into the service, this ranges from contact to let them know about our service, one off or short-term interventions plus those seeking longer-term support. South From those referrals 368 of those had a short-term intervention and 246 had long term service support. The remaining were supported by the team in a variety of ways. for example, referred to a different service provider or identified as a perpetrator and thu5 deemed inappropriate for the service, or in a few cases, didn't give consent to be contacted. Of the long term cases, 60% of perpetrators in these cases were a spouse/partner or ex pèrtner/spouse. Although this is an increase in numbers from last year, we know there is still 5urvivor5 in our community who aren't reaching us for a variety of reasons. We know that some male survivors of domestic abuse don't identify with the label of domestic abuse. We also know that male survivors in same sex relationships face additional barriers to ask for help. Team growth and upskilling: The men's IDVA team grew across the past 18 months and was then joined by Safer Accommodation workers and the Your Choice Project. So, running alongside various COVID restrictions, new hybrid working, the past year has been a year of major chanEe for the support services. Requiring the need to embed new ways of delivery and to come together as a much larger team, sometimes working collaboratively with external co-providers. With departures, pending departures of long-term workers and new arrivals, including management, this has also impacted on the team. But it has been the commitment and energy of the staff members complemented by the internal drive, to build on our expertise and specialisms, that has brought continued good results. Even in the face of significant change. All staff are now currently trained, undertaking or booked onto the IOVA accreditation. The Men's Service continue to work a hybrid model and move seamlessly to and from remote working. None of which impacts on survivors or professionals needing support. The new phone system allows for any member of the team to pick up the helpline if a line is busy and works on a hunt group system, seeking out the next available person and finally the answerphone if there is no response. This works well and ensures cover and resilience. Future Plans: Quality assurance project work- We will be prioritising revisiting the Men's Service Handbook, build in broader practice considerations, address data capture and quality caseworking, in line with performance reporting requirements Upskilling plan- To further personal and seNice development plans ensuring that specific members of the team develop specialist expertise e.g. Housing, Stalking, Self Harm & Suicide, Mental Health. With this specialised knowledge, we will establish internal champions e.g. DVDS and subject matter experts e.g. IOM, Stalking, to enhance our delivery. Promotion of the seNice- The men's team will assist in work initiated to revisit and review all promotional material in light of the developing men's setvice and LGBTQ+ work, to ensure this is appropriately mentioned, suitably prominent and continues to encoLJrage all sectors of our community to access services available to them. Safer Accomniodation & O(Itreach Overview: In November 2021, we launched the Safer Accommodation pilot through funding from Nottingham City Council. The funding came under the Statutory sector response due to the Statutory Duty under the Domestic Abuse Act to provide for safe accommodation options. We have as51Sted 15 clients access safer accommodation in the first few months of this service and undertaken a further initial DASH assessments at Housing Aid of 16 female survivors, before referring them through to Juno Women's Aid. Additionally, the Coordinators have been advising the IDVA team on housing matters and undertaken time limited pieces of work with IDVA'S clients, working alongside the IDVA team, where the needs relate to housing. Our 2 full time Safer Accommodation Outreach Workers also undertake outreach within their remit to raise awareness of the scheme. The focus for our service, is to work with men, self-identifying men and LGBTQ+ survivors, who are experiencing domestic abuse at home. The Safer Accommodation service runs daily out of the Housing Aid office, where all the workers have space to work from. This ensures clients coming to Housing Aid due to domestic abuse, are immediately passed across to a specialist worker to undertake the DASH a55e55ment. It frees up Housing staff who are exceptionally busy and ensures the survivors begin working with a domestic abuse support service in the very early stages. Their engagement remain5 Optional, but most clients find it helpful and reassuring that their situation is understood and believed. And who also specialize in housing pathways. The service got underway quickly and we have been able to provide staff for 2 days conslstently at Housing Aid from the inception of the service IMonday/Tuesdavl. Future Plans: Active member of the newly created Safe Accommodation Group- The Housing Need5 Assessment undertaken for the Men's Service for the Duty To Accommodate section of the new Domestic Abuse Act is about to be published and this will form an action plan for this group. Project planning The key next steps are to undertake more structured outreach work and deliver against the targets set out in the revised Safer Accommodation Outreach Plan. These are getting underway as we move into the new financial year. Upskilling and relationship building - The service has been valued and appreciated by the Housing Aid team, but the SA Team are keen to broaden the understandinE of the issues faced by our client5 in fleeing. Especially with a changing HA team, the SA team would like a reciprocal arrangement in learning about Housing and receiving updates but a150 presenting to Housing Aid on key and pertinent issues as the service progresses. Your Choice Project This is a pilot program, commissioned jointly with The Jenkins Centre, NWA and JUNO Women's Aid, to run a program for perpetrators of Domestic Abuse. The pilot is commissioned by the Home Office via the PCC. The program offers support to partners andlor ex partners alongside the provision of the perpetrator program. And the partner sUPPOrt where survivors are female is provided by Juno Women's Aid and NWA. This is a 24-week program and we are running both a group program and a 1-2-1 program. Plus a parenting program for dads was part of the future developments. The 1-2-1 program supports same sex relationships,. English not first language,. female perpetrators. Over the previous 12 months, we've received 217 referrals into the program of which 89 were eligible perpetrator referrals. We've completed five rounds of the group program (three 12-week Safer Relationships Programme and two 12-week Respectful Relationships Programmel and one round of 1-2-1 programs. A5 this project remained a pilot, we've had challenges planning ahead, However, interest has been high. We are delighted that funding has been renewed until September 2023 to enable this program to continue longer term in conjunction with continued support from The Jenkins Centre. Future Plans Add on courses- The setvice is currently looking at the development of the Dads Parenting course which is the lead on course after attendance on the programme. As a voluntary extra for those it is Televant for. Promotion - There is a need to undertake further marketing work to reach a range of people that fit the criteria of the project. Most referrals come from Social Care so we need to keep that connection robust. Funding uncertainty- Discussions are underway around the future for the service about operations and funding. The funding runs until September 2023 which means now is the time to identify additional continuous funding. Cl)ildrei) and Young People During 2021-22 Equation have continued to engage children, young people, p8rents, and teachers with preventative project5 focussed on raising awarene55 of healthy relationships and domestic abuse. The Covid-19 pandemic still impacted on the delivery of work in schools, whilst most of the work continued there were Still delays to projects, staff and freelance sickness and a small number of schools not able to have visitors. Towards the end of the year most of the delivery was back to normal which enabled Equation to achieve targets and more.

We successfully ran one event through funding received from Filmhub Midlands and Cinema For All, to bring a film about gender inequality to young people at a local skatepark. Domestic Abuse Act- On April 29th 2021, the Domestic Abuse Bill passed both Houses of Parliament and was signed into law becoming the Domestic Abuse Act.

The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic meant that the team continued to develop the existing training modules into remotely deliverable sessions and delivered most sessions as remote trainings. This year we also developed new ses5ion5 that would ensure that emerging themes relevant for professionals and reflecting the experiences and support needs of survivors were addressed. This included a new session on Domestic Abuse and Technology, The Domestic Abuse Act and considerations, and a session on Domestic Homicide Review Learning Outcomes. A major influence on TraininE'5 Strategy for the year was the Introduction of the Domestic Abuse Act and the related Statutory Duty. To address this, we developed and delivered a series of briefings and trainings to prepare the City and County Workforce for the Act and its impact. Later in the year the team were involved in City and County partnerships to work on the development and delivery of work for the City Night-time Economy and County Safer Street5. These included the development of new sessions on Safety of Women and Night and Bystander approaches.

For the f1rst time since the pandemic, we brought back some in-person fundraising events like the Robin Hood Marathon, which has always been a good opportunity for local fundraising and community awareness raising. However, we also maintained some of the online-based fundraising activities that proved successful for us in the previous year like online challenges that would engage donors from home. The team managed some changes in staff turnover with Sam BillinEton, Trusts & Grants Fundraiser, resigning her position. We have not yet appointed for this vacant role as we consider the long term strategy of Fundraising for Equation. £20.8K ralsed through donatlons Trust Fundraising This year saw a decrease in income from Trusts and Foundations, primarily due to Equation's focus on work funded through statutory funding streams. Despite this, we were able to secure funding toward key pilot projects, including Tech Abuse and Young Men work, whilst securing fundinB towards our core aims. Over the next year we hope to engage with existing and new funders towards several new projects we hope to deliver. We are very grateful to this year's funders.. 29th May 1961 Charitable Trust. Awards for AIS, Charles Hayward Foundation, Cinema For All, Filmhub Midlands, Garfield Weston Foundation, Postcode Places Trust, J N Derbyshire Trust, Reaching Communities. Sir Jules Thorn Trust, Souter Charitable Trust, The Boots Charitable Trust, The Persimmon Charitable Foundation, and The Ulvercroft Foundation. Community Fundraising Our hybrid approach to Community Fundraising proved successful this year. We had several supporters raise money running in local races through in-person events. We also had several supporters come up with creative and innovative ways to raise money for Equation through home- based or socially distanced activities. We had some physical fitness challenges, and also some more out-of-the box fundraisers. One supporter told 100 jokes to raise money from home, and we had another supporter raise over £2000 for Equation by livestreaming himself watching 25 hours of Homes Under the Hammer attracting national news coverage for the fundraiser. We continue to be humbled by the passion and creativity of our supporters. Queen's Aword for Voluntary Service This year Equation was honoured to be awarded the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service. This is the highest award a voluntary group can receive in the UK, and we were awarded this in recognition of the great community work our volunteers do. We also, as part of this award, received a special designation given for our contribution to making a difference during the pandemic. We are so pleased our work has been recognised with this prestigious award. The last year has been incredibly difficult for many. Our main priority has been to ensure that survivors of domestic abuse know their rights to reach support and how they can do this safelv. Future Plans We have been successful in our approach to pivoting our fundraising strategy to digital approaches and will continue to build on this experience. We also hope to find new ways to engage with our community and build our pool of passionate supporters. Working Closely with the Marketing and Communications team we hope to raise more awareness of our work in our community and hope this will present new areas to explore. 13 Message from our Treasurer Trustee5 Responsibilities Equations Financial Accountants are responsible for preparing the trustees, annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards.
