The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and A￿oUntIng and Reporb"ng by Charrties." Stslement of Recommended Practice applicable lo charities preparing their accounts and in a¢¢ordan¢e with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Since the company qualifie5 as small under sects.on 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companie5 under The Companie5 Act 2006 IStr8legic RepNt and Directorfs Report) Regulation5 2013 is not required. Our Approach to Safeguarding In 2019 the Charty Commission upd*eO their guidance, underlining Ihat 'AII charity trustees have to ensure that their charrty priorilises the safety of anyone who ￿Me$ into contact Trmlh their charity.. Services For Education 15 committed lo the highest stsndards in promoting the welfare of children and adults and protecting them from hami at all limes. Safeguarding means protecting the rights of children. young people and adults to live in safety. free from abuse and neglect. 11 is about people and organi5alions working together to prevent and Stop both the risk and experience of abuse and neglect. All staff undertake annual safeguarding refresher training. This altemates befv￿en face to lace, and the SFE online training course. All new staff are required to undertake the online course before commencing delivery for SFE. The SFE lead lor Safeguar(Jing carnes out an annual review of all training content lo ensure this 15 in line with current policy and guidance (Keeping Children Safe in Education, and Working Together lo Saleguartj Children). SFE ha$ five members ol stsff who are trained a$ Designated Safeguardin9 Leads IDSLI. and who are required lo maintain their ststus through completing bi-annual update training. These five members ol staff manage all safeguarding queries and concerns, liaising with schools, and external agencies as appropriate for aduts. SFE safeguarding policy 15 reviewed annually. SFE is represented on the Bimiingham Safeguarding in Education group to ensure all company practice is aligned lo the Bimingham Safeguarding Chiltyren Partnership structures and procedures. Our Approach to Fundraising SeNices For Education is proud lo be ￿gIstered th the Fundraising Regulator, the independent body which sets and maintains the slandawds for fvndraising in the Unrted Kingdom. Vve are committed lo the Fundraising Promise to ensure our fundraising activiiies are legal, open, honest and respectful. We work closely we an external fundraising consuttant th'd writer who supports our grants and trusts activity which is currently our main fundraising income generab.on stream. Our focus this year has been lo keep our trusts and funding bodies upttrdate about the impact covid has had upon our funded projects. The strategy has been to build a three•year ￿'peline of fvnds which was on track unts'l the pandemic hrt, the plan moving forward wll be to rebuikl that pipeline. From an individual and communty perspective the strategy has been lo create more compelling story- based and oulcome-based communications so Ihal we start to build a relationship wrf(h donors rather than just being transactional in our approach. In 2019. for the first time at SFE we produced our annual review to support this approach. We afe also starting lo build relationships wth corporates. through an approach based around six key ways corporates can support and engage with SFE..

Our Approach to Quality We pride ourselves in the qualty of our services and Ihe professionalism and skills of our highly talented colleagues. As we leach mu51c lo 34,000 children per week and deliver an extensive portfolio of training and consultancy products to school leaders. it is essential that our customer lacing teams keep at the forefront of ¢Jevelopmenls and best practice in their fields. School Support The conversion to online delivery dictated much CPD being focused on the technical skills to achieve this. and the diffe￿nI pedagogical approaches and resources required lo create effective remote leaming experiences. Good practice sessions have now become a feature of team meetings where monthly 'CPD Exchange, sessions have been rfrinstsled. In addition, CPD activity has been around significant policy changes in earfy years assessment, and early career framework, with a view lo infoming a new offer in both areas in 2021122.
