KEEPING CHILDREN SAFE

Chairman's Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

In 2022-23, Keeping Children Safe strengthened child safeguarding in 1,340 organisations. We accompanied organisations of all types and sizes from governments, civil society, militaries, schools, sports organisations, the United Nations and the private sector in 178 countries.

As a global network, we actively support each other in advancing child safeguarding in our own organisations and networks, co-produce tools and resources, and share challenges, good practices and ideas, alongside the latest research and evidence. Nineteen new members joined the network in 2022-23, the majority are small organisations in low-income countries.

In addition, Keeping Children Safe convened three international online conferences on child safeguarding: Child Participation, Child Safeguarding and Faith (in Spanish) in Child Safeguarding, Child Safeguarding in Child Protection Systems with hosting more than two-thousand participants from every region of the world representing 1,292 organisations.

I look forward to reporting on our progress towards our global objectives 2023 - 24.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims Who we are and what we do

Keeping Children Safe hosts a membership network of organisations working together to increase safeguards offered to children. There are currently 151 members from across the world.

Our activities are designed to build the capacity of organisations and people to protect and safeguard the children they work with or with whom they come into contact. Organisations that adopt our standards and implement them fully, are safer places for children. Their operations, activities and people work to the Do No Harm principle, preventing the abuse and exploitation of children and ensuring that they report on children who are at risk and children who have been subjected to violence.

Vision and mission

Our mission is to end child abuse in all organisations and our vision is for all children to grow up safe from abuse, exploitation and neglect.

This means that everything we do is driven by the best interests of the child or children.

• We stand up for children's right to be safe, and we believe that all organisations, no matter how big or powerful, should be accountable for safeguarding children.

Objectives

Public benefit

Our strategic plan is developed to ensure we provide public benefit and achieve our objectives as set out in our governing document. The KCS Board of Trustees regularly monitors and reviews the success of the organisation in delivering its objectives which are:

  1. To empower children, families and communities to realise their right to be safe in all organisations. 2. To accompany individuals and practitioners around the world to build safer organisations for children.

  2. To advocate to change the systems and challenge the organisations that expose children to abuse.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Keeping Children Safe

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Keeping Children Safe ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's 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 charity'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.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.

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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  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 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going Concern

After reviewing the charity's forecasts and projections, the trustees' have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Expenditure is allocated between Cost of Generating Funds, Charitable Activities and Governance Costs on an actual basis where possible. Where actual allocation are not possible, apportionments are made based principally on employee time. The policy of apportionment is consistently applied year on year although the specific bases adopted will vary year on year with changing circumstances.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
