Structure, Governance and Management

Haven Project Liverpool became a registered charity in October 2011. It is a service that provides support to parents who are involved in public care proceedings initiated by Liverpool Children's Services. Its formation in May 2011 was prompted by the identified lack of services available for parents involved in the court arena in Liverpool.

Approximately 100 families per year are involved in care proceedings with Liverpool Children's Services. Proceedings initiated by Children's Services in other areas of Merseyside (Sefton, Wirral, Knowsley, St Helens) increase that number still further. Many parents report going through the court process alone, feeling frightened, confused and alienated. Government guidance and legislation identifies that providing support to parents in these circumstances is important, however there is currently no statutory duty for Local Authorities to provide such services. As a consequence little support is available for families either locally or nationally.

The Haven Project aims to address this gap in services for the Liverpool area. The service has been in operation since January 2012. The Project has three key aims in its work with parents:

The structure and management of this service is still developing and is likely to expand in the future. There are currently 4 trustees who between them have many years’ experience working with children and their families, and specifically working with vulnerable families. At each AGM a third of the trustees resign and can apply for re-election. At present this is done by rotation and longest serving trustee resigning first. Prospective Trustees are able to put themselves forward from the membership and are appointed at the AGM by current trustees and members. Members are those either approached by the trustees to get more involved with the project because they have skills the project needs and/or those who demonstrate they share in the beliefs, aims and objectives of the project and want to become involved more on an organisational level. There are also those who are non-members; who become involved on an operational level through praying, giving or volunteering.

The main service delivery this year was provided by the Project Manager, Paula Fairbrother. Paula is a qualified Children and Families Social Worker (registered with Social Work England) with twenty plus years experience of working with families both in the courts and in the community. We have retained Craig Martin in post as sessional worker, but did not need to engage his services for the two fathers we supported this year due to their individual circumstances. The Project Manager has monthly support from a Social Work Advisor, Lynn McNaught (also SWE registered) who has more than twenty five years’ experience in the children’s social care field; setting up, delivering and managing children and parent services. She is experienced in undertaking service reviews and evaluations and in change management.

Summary of the main activities

The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives and in planning the future activities. In particular the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set as explained below. The project is available to all those from the Liverpool area who are referred to us by local social workers and solicitors or by self-referral.

Objectives and Activities

The following statement of vision and aims summarises and develops our purposes, as set out in the objects, contained in the company’s Memorandum of Association.

Vision

Our vision is to bring healing and hope to hurting families, breaking the cycle of harm that passes down from generation to generation.

Mission

Our mission is to support parents who are involved in public care proceedings.

Aims

Our aims are to reduce parents’ stress and isolation, to enable parents to participate fully in the court process and to promote positive, lasting change.

Haven Project Liverpool is an organisation which seeks to demonstrate Christian faith in practice. The service offered by Haven Project is open to people of all faiths and none and is guided by the principle that all people, whoever they are, however they live, whatever they've done, should be treated with equal dignity, care and respect. The work is motivated by the belief that no person or situation is beyond hope.

Achievements during year ending March 2021

2020/2021 has been a very different year due to the Covid 19 pandemic and national lockdown. However, we were still able to launch our 400 friends campaign via social media. Our work and the campaign was advertised through our website and new Facebook page and a video showcasing the Project was produced and promoted on Youtube. The video can be viewed via the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYBo0auZ-WI&t=2s

We were obviously still limited in how far reaching this campaign could be during this year, but our number of friends has grown (both Churches and individuals) with the number of individual friends increasing by 50%. Our intention is to continue this campaign into 2021/22.

Manager’s report 2020/21

Along with every support service in the country, the Covid 19 pandemic meant that we had to work very differently in providing support to parents over the course of this year. In total we provided support to 12 parents - 10 women and 2 men.

One of the biggest impacts of Covid for parents involved in the court process has been that the vast majority of court hearings since March 2020 have been heard remotely, with parents joining in by phone or via a computer link. Solicitors firms remained closed to the public throughout the year meaning that parents were also only able to communicate with their solicitor by phone. These factors often exacerbated parents commonly held sense of being excluded from the decision making process for their children and massively increased their feelings of stress and anxiety.

As home visits and indoor support sessions became possible again we began bringing parents in to our office to access court hearings using our computer equipment, or joining them at home where that was more convenient for them. The parents regularly commented that having someone with them made it easier to understand what was being said and that where we were able to join by video link seeing the people who were speaking aided their understanding. This in turn helped parents to manage the stress of the process more effectively and improve their overall coping. In circumstances where physically being with a parent wasn’t possible we have been phoned in to court hearings separately so that we’ve been able to listen and then speak to parents afterwards if they needed any additional explanation of what was discussed.

In cases where the final decision has been contested by parents these hearings have largely been conducted as ‘hybrids’, parents joining in from their barristers chambers and then attending the court building in person when it is their turn to give evidence. In total this year we have assisted parents in 15 court hearings, 4 in the court building itself, 7 from chambers and 6 by phone. Again, as one of the few local services that developed safe ways of supporting people face to face during this time, parents have identified Haven as having a significant positive impact on their mental health this year.

As restrictions allowed, following the first lockdown, we moved from keeping in contact with parents by phone to starting up our wellbeing walks in the parks across the city. Using that approach has enabled us to provide 62 hours of face to face support. We’ve also hosted 4 art groups at the Tree of Life cafe, including a Christmas gathering where we were able to light a candle and pray for the women’s children as we have done in previous years.

In some ways, our increased familiarity with using technology to connect with other people has also been an advantage. It allowed us to partner with Ipswich based charity BEAM and run a 12 week wellbeing course on zoom, connecting birth mums from Liverpool and Ipswich. The course was devised by BEAM specifically for mothers who have had their children permanently removed and covered topics including anger, loss, depression, anxiety and over thinking.

Following on from the course one of our mum’s stayed involved with the Ipswich group through their peer-led zoom coffee mornings. This in turn led to her suggesting that these coffee mornings would be an interesting development for the Haven Project, to enable mums to meet up with each other in between the art group sessions. We’re now planning to pilot her idea with her as one of the leaders, more of her story follows later in the report.

Outcomes

Over the course of the year we evaluated parents against six key outcomes: improved understanding of the court process; increased participation; reduction in isolation; increase in self -confidence; increased uptake of recovery services; increased community involvement. The last two outcomes in particular have been extremely difficult to facilitate this year with so many services working remotely.

Of the 12 parents we worked with this year, five parents (40%) showed improvement in three or more of our key outcomes. By far our biggest impact, when people couldn’t access so much of the other support that would normally be available to them, was that ten out of the twelve parents (83%) recorded a reduction in isolation as a result of support sessions provided by Haven.

Each year we produce one or two of the parents case stories to give a more detailed picture of our work, these stories are anonymised and are written with the parent’s permission and input. This year “Courtney and Richard’s” story shows how we’ve adapted our working practice to ensure that parents have still been supported. “Ronnie’s” story provides a snapshot of what the court experience has been like for many parents:

Courtney and Richard’s story

Courtney and Richard are a couple who have been working with the Haven Project for almost two years and will be coming to the end of our one-to-one

support in May 2021.

When we met the couple their baby girl, Isabelle, was being looked after in foster care while the court decided what the long term plans should be for her.

Courtney had been through the courts a number of times before over the years with her older children, all of whom had been permanently removed due to serious safety concerns. She and Richard had also been through the courts together with their twins in 2018 but sadly this had ended with the twins being placed for adoption. Richard had found the court environment overwhelmingly stressful because of his learning difficulty and as a result hadn’t felt able to be involved in the court hearings for the twins. This time he wanted to take part in court for Isabelle but recognised that he needed help to manage the stress of the process.

We went with Richard to all his solicitors appointments and court hearings. We planned each court attendance carefully with Richard, putting strategies in place to help him understand what was happening and to manage his stress levels. This meant that Richard was able to attend and be involved in every hearing, he was able to say directly to the judge how he felt about Isabelle and how much he wanted his daughter to come home. The judge commended both parents for their love and commitment to Isabelle, but because of their history and current situation the decision was taken to place her with the same adoptive family as her twin siblings. An option which both Richard and Courtney were willing to accept for her.

We supported both parents through their goodbye contact with Isabelle and then, when they felt ready, we began to explore what they want out of life for themselves. Neither Richard nor Courtney

had any links to activities or groups in their community, they felt isolated and wanted to start developing positive friendships.

Richard is a keen cyclist and loves working on his bikes. Just before the first lockdown in March 2020 we took Richard along to Recycles, a Liverpool charity that provides bike maintenance training for adults who are unemployed or have a learning difficulty. Trainees can then stay on as volunteers in the workshop repairing bikes for the general public. Richard settled in well with the Recycles team and has now become a permanent volunteer, he has formed some good friendships and goes out on regular bike rides. We also linked him in to his local Mencap to join in with their men’s group once it’s back up and running.

When things became limited to remote contact we used Facetime to allow Richard and one of our other Haven dads, James, to talk. James finished court with support from us four years ago and was able to encourage Richard with how he’s managed to move on in his life and cope with the emotions of losing his son.

We started running wellbeing walks in the summer once mixing outdoors was allowed and we’re now regular visitors to Croxteth park with Richard and Courtney. Courtney has begun coming along to our art group to meet other mums and also took part in a 12 week wellbeing zoom course that we ran with the Ipswich based charity BEAM. The wellbeing course covered a range of issues including depression, anxiety, shame, anger and over thinking and Courtney attended every session. Two of the mum’s from BEAM run a weekly coffee morning via zoom and Courtney is now a regular member of their group too.

Courtney told us that, though she’s had involvement with the family courts for nearly 17 years now, working with Haven is the first time she’s been given support and the opportunity to meet with other mothers. She feels that if this kind of service had been available to her right back at the start then things could have been very different for her and her children. Our hope is that Courtney can now go on to use her experiences and knowledge to encourage and support other mum’s through Haven.

Ronnie’s story

Ronnie was referred to the Haven Project by his solicitor shortly after his daughter Emily was born. Emily was living with foster carers because of

----- Start of picture text -----

----- End of picture text -----

concerns relating to Ronnie’s ex-partner whose two older children had already been permanently removed from her care. Ronnie wasn’t considered to be in a position to care for Emily himself because, just before she was born, he’d been the victim of a violent crime outside his house. The concern was that this was a targeted attack which could potentially put Emily at risk.

Ronnie’s assault was investigated by the police and it was eventually established that he hadn’t been a targeted victim, didn’t know his attackers, and thus there was no ongoing risk linked to the home or to Ronnie himself. However the local authority remained unconvinced that Ronnie could adequately care for Emily. Ronnie disagreed with this position. In his view he had good support from his family, as he currently lived with his mum and nan. He also had a high degree of involvement with his older girls, who regularly stayed overnight with him and Ronnie did several school runs each week. Ronnie was sure it was in Emily’s best interests to be with him and committed himself to working toward that outcome.

Just as assessments for the court were due to get under way the first national lockdown began in March 2020 and impacted every aspect of the court process. Ronnie now couldn’t see Emily in person and was limited to contact with his daughter through three zoom calls per week.

The parenting assessment which would normally be done face to face had to be completed by phone. The court hearings for the remainder of the proceedings were also carried out over the phone rather than in the court building. From March 2020 onwards Ronnie’s solicitors office closed to the public and the staff largely worked from home, so Ronnie wasn’t able to have any further face to face appointments with his solicitor. This continues to be the case for the majority of parents involved in

the courts almost a year on.

The pandemic also effected the support services that Ronnie was expected to engage with. The children’s centres closed and so Ronnie wasn’t able to complete a parenting course. Counselling was recommended for him because of issues arising from his childhood and from the trauma of the assault he’d experienced. He was offered CBT sessions but those were placed on hold. This was all incredibly stressful for Ronnie. It left him feeling almost ‘shut out’ from the decision making process, and he became worried that the problems he was facing in accessing services would prevent Emily from coming home.

As restrictions allowed I began to meet up with Ronnie for a walk and a coffee in his local park. Aside from Emily’s social worker I was the only other person Ronnie saw outside of his family throughout the whole court process. Spending time with someone is in many ways such a simple thing, but Ronnie identified how vital it was for him:

“ Haven helped a lot, spending time with me, speaking on the phone, helped me not feel on my own...helped me to keep going”

The social worker eventually found a parenting course that Ronnie was advised to attend. To get to the course he had to travel on two buses for an hour to an area of Liverpool that he didn’t know. To help him with this Ronnie and I drove the route from his house to the course venue – with our masks on and the windows down – so that he knew where he was going. Ronnie then made his own way, completing three sessions before restrictions increased again and the sessions moved on line. Despite the challenges Ronnie finished the course. His parenting assessment came back positive and the records from his contact sessions with Emily, now face to face, showed how well he was doing in caring for her.

At the end of the court process the final decision was that Emily should live with Ronnie full time and she moved home to her dad just before Christmas. At the time of writing, four months on, Ronnie, Emily and all the family are doing well.

Trustees’ report (continued)

Reserves Policy and Financial Review

There are two strands to Haven Project Liverpool’s fundraising strategy namely:

The service was again funded by both donations from Wavertree Christian Fellowship and a growing number of individuals and by grants received following successful applications.

There was a small surplus of £3,067 in 2020-21 compared with a deficit of more than £12,000 in the previous year. This represents steady progress in stabilising our finances. We are grateful for the generosity of local donors and to local grant funders who all responded to our urgent need during the early part of the pandemic. In the longer term, though, the most significant development this year has been the initial success of our “400 Friends” fund raising campaign, which seeks to engage with monthly sponsors. So far, we have had 28 Friends sign up to give each month and this valuable support has made a significant difference to us. The fundraising costs relate to the creation of a promotional film which explains the work of the charity to the Public.

To enable Haven Project Liverpool to meet its financial responsibilities, and to survive fluctuations in its finances, the Trustees have agreed to keep a sufficient level of financial reserves, based on a normal year, to ensure that main operations could continue for a period of 3 -6 months. Our target level of reserves remains therefore at £15,000. Haven Project Liverpool currently has reserves of £10,559 up from £7,492 last year. We are grateful to each one of our sponsors for their generosity.

The level of reserves is managed by the Project Manager daily and monitored by the Trustees every 3 months. The reserves policy is reviewed annually by the trustees.

The trustees will continue to seek to implement the reserves policy. We aim to provide diversified funding support, by widening our donor base and continuing to submit grant applications. We will also continue to control our operational costs.

Independent examiner’s report to the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2021

I report on my examination of the accounts of the charity, which are set out on pages 11 to 18.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) consider that an audit is not required for this year under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in 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, I confirm that no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect:

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.
