## Parents of Children with Additional Needs 

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022 

## **Objectives and activities** 

To relieve in the metropolitan district of Kirklees, and surrounding districts, children under 25 years old with learning, physical or sensory disabilities, or who have behavioural problems, by providing support, advice and information to their parents and/or others who are responsible for providing their care and/or support. 

## **The charity's main activities** 

PCAN is the independent, parent-led forum in Kirklees for all parents and carers of children and young people with additional needs aged from birth to 25 years. 

PCAN provides good information, links to social media so parents can network with each other, and a range of social and other events to help us to develop a strong, collective voice so that we can work in partnership with service providers across Kirklees. Together we can improve services for our children and young people with additional needs! 

PCAN welcomes all parents or carers, whether you are just beginning to become aware that your child or young person may have additional needs, or if they have confirmed diagnosis or disability. 

Our work is divided into three strands: Good information, Support and friendship and Stronger voice. 

## **Public benefit statement** 

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular ensuring that the voices of parents and carers of children and young people with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disability) are heard in the planning, development and delivery of services for their children (engagement and co-production). 

## **Achievements and performance** 

PCAN is the independent, parent-led forum in Kirklees for all parents and carers of children and young people with additional needs aged from birth to 25 years. All Trustees are parents and carers themselves.

## **Note from the Trustees** 

Covid 19 continued to make it’s presence felt for a significant part of the year and had an impact on our activities.  We were unable to run as many in person parent events and continued to meet with Council and Health colleagues remotely for the most part. This has had a direct impact on the quality of engagement work we were able to carry out in person, but we were still able to collect considerable anecdotal evidence from parents about services and support via social media networks, phone calls and direct messaging.

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

## **Thanks to all our helpers** 

Our team of Trustees mostly contribute their time and skills for free, and those who are self-employed and receive payment for their work also contribute at least as many hours a week on a voluntary basis. We also have a number of fabulous volunteers who have been involved in checking documents, delivering training, interviewing Kirklees staff, supporting people to fill in surveys, networking information and more. 

We would like to thank PCAN Trustees, volunteers and members for giving up their valuable time to either help us with PCAN’s work in whatever ways they can and generally helping us to make a difference for everyone. You are fantastic, and we couldn’t do this without you! 

If you would like to share your skills volunteering with us or becoming a Trustee, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please contact us on 07754102336 or info@pcankirklees.org 

## **Covid 19 – what the changes meant for PCAN and families of children with SEND** 

At PCAN we continued to work in a different ways as we were not able to continue with our in person social and school events at the start of the financial year. We know that many people missed these events and the social aspect of getting together with other families. 

Families of children with additional needs had been disproportionately affected by lockdown with children at home, lack of social care and other support, lack of activities for children and young people to attend with parents trying to support everyone’s mental health. It took time for things to start up again, and families were still negatively affected. Waiting lists were affected, in particular for ASD assessment and this has put extra pressure on families and children/young people. 

Many of our families felt really isolated and continued to be affected by school closures and self-isolation which was so disruptive for many. 

The PCAN team continued to work hard to signpost families to foodbanks, helplines, and other resources. 

Our phoneline and direct messaging platforms were very busy and Trustees were able (with individuals’ consent) to report your issues directly to the professionals concerned – we know in some cases that this made a real difference. 

We continued to share information as much as possible about restrictions and opportunities that were becoming available. 

## **Good Information** 

Parents and carers need good quality information to do the best job they can for their children and young people. PCAN works hard to let local parents and carers know about the activities, services, support and information that can make their life, and that of their family, better and this year was still very challenging due to Covid restrictions and services starting back up. Key activities for 2021/22 include: 

PCAN website and social media were regularly updated including relevant Covid 19 information. Our main private Facebook Group has 1156 members, with over 1000 followers/members of our other groups. All information posted is networked across many other local social media parent and SEND groups ensuring a wider reach. We continued to receive a higher than usual number of calls for help from parents and signposted lots of people to get help or information. More of this was done by private message and individual emails. 

Trace hosted 4 new member workshops outside in person to help them find out what they needed. We ran our AGM  remotely again as a webinar with speakers from Kirklees Council to update parents on what is going on in the background to improve support and services. 

PCAN Trustees continued to work with the Kirklees Local Offer team to improve the quality of information for anyone caring for a child or young adult with special education needs and disabilities (SEND). We regularly signposted families to the required areas of the Local Offer. 

PCAN hosted 6 zoom and phone meetings with SENDcos in schools to share information for families.

## **Achievements and performance (continued) Support and Friendship** 

Helping parents to meet and support each other is a big part of what PCAN is about. We want parents and carers to feel less isolated and to be able to contact other parents who understand the challenges and the joys of having children and young people with additional needs. This continued to be a challenge during  2021 and 2022. 

## **What we did in 2021/22** 

Connected people via our Facebook groups, and virtual social and information events. Huge thanks for our members for the helping hand they extended to others. 

6 Virtual social events were organised from April to July 2021. We ran two picnics in the park in August 2021. In person events started in September 2021 when we welcomed back PCAN members to Greenhead Park café and Thornhill Lees but lots of people were still cautious about attending events due to the vulnerability of their children.  Surging COVID rates meant we had to cancel December meetings and any possibility of a Christmas do.  We started up again in January with a delayed post festive season event at Thornhill Lees with delicious food from Spices and Rices.  We also held a meeting of the post 16 group – the first for some time. 6 in person social events took place from January to March 2021. 

PCAN attended meetings of the Whole Autism Family, West Yorkshire ADHD and Huddersfield Support Group for Autism to support parents there. 

A PCAN Trustee was available to offer a friendly, empathic point of contact for parent carers who ring the main PCAN number with concerns or contacted us by email. We received multiple referrals from other agencies such as Carers Count, KIAS, Northorpe Hall, Community Plus, Early Support and schools. 

We continued to supply Maxcards for families living in Kirklees to enable families to save money on days out. 

Parents contacted us with a multitude of issues to do with housing, food,  finance, mental health and so on. Trustees and volunteers worked really hard to support those families signposting them to relevant information, and offering a listening ear.  When necessary referrals were made on their behalf (with their consent) for support. 

## **Feedback from families** 


## **Stronger Voice - Together we can make a difference** 

PCAN works with local service providers to ensure that parents’ voices are heard in the design and development of new and existing services (parent participation).  It is a mandatory requirement for Local Authority and Health departments to gather the views of parent carers and this forms a large part of PCAN’s work. Parent participation is all about making sure that parents of children/young people with additional needs can be involved alongside providers in service planning and decision making. The result is services which meet families’ needs more quickly and effectively which are therefore are valued and have good levels of take up. PCAN receives specific funding from the Department of Education towards the cost of this really important work. This was really challenging during 2021-22 as we couldn’t meet up in person for a large part of the time and had to do things by phone or virtually.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022 

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

## **Achievements** 

PCAN collects evidence from parents and carers about the services and support they receive in Kirklees across education, health and social care.  Sometimes this is in the form of collated information from specific engagement events or surveys; often our information is anecdotal which is collected from the daily stream of information from social media, plus information gathered at social and other parent events. This information is shared as needed, for example at strategic groups which meet regularly and have representation from PCAN: 

- •SEND Transformation Group* 

- •Carers Strategy Group 

- •KIAS Steering Group 

- •Youth Development Board 

- •Tackling Poverty Partnership 

*A PCAN representative has attended all of these meetings and commented on the revised Transformation Plan and commissioning documents.  The Plan included the details of the 2 new special school sites for an expanded Woodley and Joseph Norton. 

In addition to participating in these formal groups, PCAN runs a number of “projects” about specific issues. These projects sometimes come out of Council or Health led topics where they are required to consult with families; sometimes these projects are determined by PCAN in response to feedback from families. During 2021/2022 this is what we worked on: 

## **Council/health led work:** 

Children’s therapies – this project was started with very little notice.  We held an online Zoom meetings and created a questionnaire.  Many thanks to those who had replied and attended the Zoom.  We prepared a report which was circulated and some of the findings about parents’ views were used by Locala as part of their own review.  This project is ongoing. 

PCAN met with the playable spaces team and contributed views to this project.  We also encouraged our members to attend local meetings being held around Kirklees. 

We held initial meetings with Council colleagues around short breaks and holiday activities to try to improve the offer and the timeliness of advertising events for summer holidays.  This work is ongoing. 

The end of COVID restrictions meant that the school transport team again had the flexibility to look at some of the more creative school travel assistance options with parents and we held a couple of meetings with them as they described their upcoming work. This project is ongoing. 

Early Support – continued meetings around the creation of local Family Hubs, and to ensure that work on the SEND offer is underway, especially an offer for 16-25 year olds.  This work is ongoing. 

PCAN provided a representative for the NHS regional autism project and this resulted in the NightOwls service. We have also contributed to the regional NHS work on children’s therapies. 

## **Other work:** 

Behaviour: this is a continuation from work started in 2019. PCAN is working with individuals in the Council to run a pilot training scheme to support parents who are managing behaviour they find challenging at home. A package of training has been purchased from Team Teach, and PCAN has contributed to meetings held with Council colleagues to determine how families could be identified, how they need to be supported during and after training, how we evaluate what difference it has made and how the pilot scheme could be rolled out. This work was not complete at the end of the financial year and will continue. This is a significant issue raised by families which has not been addressed in the past, and we will not let it go.

## Parents of Children with Additional Needs 

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022 

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

We attend regular “catch-up” meetings with commissioners for children’s services to make sure that we are aware of ongoing matters and also to ensure they are aware of issues which have arisen and that we have been made aware of by parents and carers. 

We also attend regular catch up meetings with colleagues from education for the same reason. 

PCAN colleagues have been involved in interviews for potential SENDACT staff – thank you to those who took part. 

We started work with SENDACT on wording in letters and literature but this project paused due to impact of staffing issues. To be continued. 

Work on the Quality First teaching toolkit with Kate Browning (consultant) who wrote it with input from Kirklees SENCOs.  This is designed to improve teaching in mainstream schools for SEN children. 

Local area SEND inspection in February.   This involved PCAN in a considerable amount of work: reading relevant documentation; establishing the format of the parent sessions with the inspectors; clarifying as a team what PCAN wished to communicate to inspectors; hosting one pf the parent meetings; promoting the Ofsted questionnaire and liaising with parents, as well as meeting with the inspectors before and after the inspection. 

PCAN delivers training and this continued with sessions for new SENDCOs, Early Teachers and Early Years SENDcos. A PCAN Trustee also participated in delivering Cygnet training (as a volunteer). 

Attending regular regional meetings of parent carer forums in Yorkshire and the Humber.  We also attended the national conference of parent carer forums (NNPCF) (which was virtual). We gathered useful information about the national SEN agenda including the ongoing SEN reviews and other education changes.  We contributed our views to NNPCF who were commenting on some of these to share with the Department for Education (DfE) 

We attended remote meetings regarding the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care – to be reported on during the next financial year. 

PCAN Trustees and volunteers attended over 160 meetings with Council and Health colleagues, voluntary sector, schools and other support groups and organisations over the 12 month period. 

We ran social events, as well as attending regional and national parent carer forum events and taking part in any training required. All of this on a  variety of virtual platforms when we couldn’t meet in person (which was most of the time)! 

## **Feedback from Tom Brailsford , Service Director Resources, Improvement and Partnerships:** 

_“Kirklees Council and the wider partnership continue to have a strong and restorative relationship with PCAN based on the principles of PCAN providing a  high level of support and also a high level of challenge to us as a system. The strength of this relationship has been and continues to be a key aspect of ensuring that our strategic plans and transformation activity has parents, children and young people with additional needs at its heart.  The need for co-production and working with our children, young people and families with additional needs to improve outcomes is an underpinning principle through all our work with PCAN and one which we greatly value.”_ 

PCAN is looking for volunteers and paid staff to help us with our work. 

That might be helping at events, representing parents’ views at meetings, looking at documents, helping us with social media and newsletters, delivering training.  There are loads of things you could help with and it may not take up too much of your time. 

Please speak to one us at any time if you are interested.  Full training will be given as required. Tel: 07754102336.

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

## **Funders and Supporters** 

Many thanks to Kirklees Council for giving us the opportunity of a three year contract from September 2019 to continue to be the voice for parents in Kirklees. 

Thank you to the professionals across education, health and social care who promote engagement and coproduction at every opportunity – you know who you are! 

Thank you to all the people who took time to help other parents during these difficult times. 

Thank you to all our colleagues at Carers Count for their commitment to supporting all carers in Kirklees. 

Huge thanks to all the PCAN Trustees, volunteers and supporters who give up their time for the benefit of others.  We couldn’t do any of this without you. 

## **Financial review** 

The net receipts for the year were £15,684, including net receipts of £15,368 on unrestricted funds and net receipts of £316 on restricted funds. 

We have not been affected financially by Coronavirus.  Our ability to continue is entirely dependent on funding from the Local Authority and Department for Education. We are able to continue for at least 12 months with our current levels of funding. 

PCAN is a Department for Education (DfE) recognised Parent Carer Forum.  It is partly funded year on year by a grant from the Department for Education (£17,500). The grant is used to strengthen parent carer forums, so that parent carers can participate in the strategic planning and decision-making around services for children and young people with SEND in their area.  The grant has been confirmed for the forthcoming financial year 2022/2023. 

In addition, PCAN holds a contract with Kirklees Council to support its work as a parent carer forum to enable the Council to meet some of its statutory duties under the Children & Families Act 2014.  The first contract ran from 1[st] September 2019 to 31[st] August 2022. PCAN has subsequently been successful in obtaining a contract for a further three years (extendable to 5 years) from 1[st] September 2022. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £38,995. 

The trustees have decided that they will not maintain a level of reserves but will expend all funds on the charity's activities as required by the funders.  The charity is able to cease activities at very short notice and the charity has no commitments.

## Notes to the accounts 

for the year ended 31 March 2022 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of accounting** 

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by 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) and with the Charities Act 2011. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

A change has been made regarding the method of production of the accounts from cash basis to accruals basis. This has required the restating of prior year comparative figures in respect of creditors and accruals totalling £3,263. 

A change has been made regarding the method of production of the accounts from cash basis to accruals basis. This has required the restating of prior year comparative figures in respect of creditors and accruals totalling £3,263. 

There has also been a change in the treatment of the Kirklees Council contract income which had incorrectly been treated as a restricted fund. The effect of this change was to reduce the restricted fund balance brought forward by £26,492. The income has also been apportioned into the correct periods resulting in income received in advance increasing to £12,500 in the previous year. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. 

## **Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## **Grants and donations** 

Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources. 

Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance. 

## **Expenditure and liabilities** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. 

## **Taxation** 

As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Gifted assets are shown at the value to the charity on receipt. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives as follows: Computer equipment: over 4 years Equipment: over 4 years
