Chair of Trustee’s Statement

Vocal Advocacy’s purposes as set out in the objects contained in the company’s memorandum of association are:

"The relief of persons with speech and communication difficulties by providing a service to assist those persons to realise their full potential and obtain their full rights as a citizen."

The Trustee Board meets on a regular basis to monitor operational and financial performance and to review Vocal’s Strategic Plan with reference to its aims and objectives. After moving meetings online during covid, 2022/23 saw a full return to in person meetings of the board and quarterly, whole organisation meetings. This included our AGM where Margaret Cushen, Janet Regan, Mary Dodson and Roger Mann were elected as trustees. Very sadly, Roger Mann passed away in November 22. I take this opportunity to formally pay tribute to Roger for the many years of support and service he gave to Vocal, as both a volunteer advocate and trustee. He is greatly missed by us all and the people he worked with.

On the whole this has been a positive year for Vocal: alongside continuing to offer first rate statutory advocacy for people with Learning Disabilities via our contracts in Devon and Torbay we began to implement our new grant funded projects focused on our strategic aims of long term sustainability, service development and income generation.

This was the first year of our (3yrs) funding from the Henry Smith Charity which supports the delivery of generic wide ranging advocacy for people with Learning Disability. This has enabled us to expand our offer of a muchneeded service for people and issues outside the narrow remit of local authority contracts. Historically this support was an important part of our work, much valued and highly beneficial to the recipient’s quality of life. However, as our L.A contacts changed to exclusively focus on the Care Act and safeguarding we did not have the resources to carry on this work at the volume required, we knew that there was unmet need and a significant gap in provision emerged. It is great to be able to offer this support again, provided by 3 new highly skilled, committed and enthusiastic advocates.

All our professional and experienced advocacy team hold or are working towards the City and Guilds accredited advocacy qualification. Vocal continues to hold the Quality Performance Mark (QPM) for advocacy agencies issued by the NDTi.

2022/23 was also the first year of funding and mentoring / consultancy support from the Lloyds Bank Foundation Enhance scheme aimed at expanding Vocal’s capacity and long term sustainability. Our Chief Officer has worked very closely with the Lloyds Grant Manager and external

consultants to analyse options and develop an income generation plan. The first initiative, coming from this, is to establish and market a service for parents with learning disability (going through care proceedings). Early in 2023 a lead advocate post was established and recruited to for this project. We look forward to developing our income generating services further in the coming year.

Lloyds Bank Foundation are also offering us support to recruit trustees and to develop our board. They have commissioned Reach Volunteering to search for trustees, and the Chief Officer and I have worked closely with them in drawing up person specifications and role descriptions. The advert and recruitment process went ‘live’ shortly before the end of the financial year.

Vocal continues to be an active member and Strategic Partner of Devon Advocacy Consortium. Working within DAC enhances our ability to support vulnerable people and access skills and expertise from colleagues working in a wide range of fields.

The next few years promise to be challenging and exciting as we expand our services, support more people and hopefully ensure our long term financial sustainability.

All our activities are focused on supporting vulnerable people to speak up for themselves and be heard when decisions are being made about their lives. The trustees have considered the public benefit of the work of the charity; the details are outlined in the following report.

Janet Regan

Chair of Trustees

Vocal Advocacy was established in 1993 as an independent advocacy organisation; our primary aim to support people with a learning disability or people with communication difficulties to understand and exercise their rights, make informed choices and speak up for themselves. Over the years the organisation has evolved to meet the needs of the people who use the service and to reflect changes in local and national policy.

Vocal continues to provide an independent service for people who have a learning disability and communication difficulty living in the south and west of Devon (including Torbay).

Vocal has always been a user led organization; the people who use our service are actively encouraged to contribute to the management of the organisation and are central to decision making. They, as experts by experience, support the organisation by providing feedback on new initiatives, contributing to our business plan and ensuring that the focus of the organisation is maintained. Over recent years we have built on this and are proud of our achievement in being truly co-produced.

The principles of empowerment and being person led are at the heart of Vocal Advocacy’s services. It was very impressive that everyone interviewed during the site visit highlighted how the principles of empowerment and putting people first runs throughout the organization; like the lead through a pencil – QPM Assessor

Who Used and Benefited from our Service?

Whilst the main focus of our work is in the provision of independent issuebased advocacy, Vocal can also provide other services, including a Paid Representative service for those who have a Deprivation of Liberty Safeguard in place, support planning, training, service user engagement and quality monitoring.

At the time of the Covid pandemic we were forced to change the way in which we delivered our service. As time has passed, we have been able to return to face to face working across all aspects of our work. We do, however, continue to adopt a creative and fluid approach to service delivery, choosing the most appropriate delivery model to meet the persons individual preferences and needs.

In this year, made possible by Grant funding, and the recruitment of new advocates we have increased the promotion of advocacy across our area. As a result, we have engaged with 591 people and provided advocacy support to 379 people. A huge increase from 204 people in the previous year. The breakdown of our activity is shown in the following graph:

Our Work 2022/23 Care Act General Parents Paid Rep and Community DoLS Quality Monitoring ( number of contracts) Service user engagement Advocacy Awareness

The graph shows that the largest number of people to benefit from our activities were those who took part in advocacy awareness raising initiatives. As a direct result the number of people that were supported with general advocacy issues has increased.

Whilst the number of people who received Care Act advocacy support has remained comparable to last year this now presents as a smaller proportion of our work.

As we come out of the Covid pandemic the number of service user engagement initiatives has returned to pre-pandemic levels. It is only our work to support Parents with child protection that has reduced in this year.

Statutory Advocacy

Independent Care Act Advocacy (ICAA)

As with previous years, our statutory work is commissioned by South Devon and Torbay Care Trust and Devon County Council via the Devon Advocacy Consortium.

There is a statutory responsibility for the Local Authority to appoint an independent advocate for people who have a substantial difficulty in engaging in the local authority process (assessment of need, preparation of care and support plan, review of care and support plan, safeguarding and carers assessment) and have no one appropriate to support them.

A lady with a learning disability was referred for advocacy under the Care Act, for support to engage in the review of her care and support plan. The lady’s circumstances had changed. During the course of our work, it became clear that the LA wanted to move the lady as her care was now more expensive. The lady did not want to move, she had lived in the home a long time and had good relationships with the people she lived with and her carers. The Advocate supported the lady to successfully challenge the LA decision to move her. She continues to live and be supported in the home of her choice. 7

The following graphs demonstrate our work this year providing advocacy for those who are eligible under The Care Act 2014. In the current year, referral rates from both Devon and Torbay have changed slightly, the decrease in Devon based referrals matched with the increase in those received in Torbay. This graph does not reflect the actual need for this support, the amount of support that we can offer is limited by the size of Vocal’s contract with the Consortium.

There has been a shift in the reasons for referral in this year, with a reduction in the number of referrals relating to needs assessments and the preparation and review of support plans, however there has been a notable increase in the number of referrals received for safeguarding.

The Coronavirus Act removed some of the local authority responsibilities to provide services as directed by the Care Act. This came to an end in 2021/22. An increase in safeguarding cases in 2020/21 reflects the LA priorities during the pandemic.

In 2021/22 An increased number of people were supported to prepare their care and support plans and have their support plans reviewed. This may well have had a direct correlation to the reduction in safeguarding cases during that year. In 2022/23 safeguarding referrals have increased whilst there is a reduction in the amount of reviews, assessments and new care plans prepared. This shows a definite relationship between the two; providing regular contact and ensuring that care packages reflect the persons needs reduces the number of people who find themselves in crisis!

A gentleman was referred for support to engage in the LA safeguarding process. The gentleman was subject to emotional and physical abuse, which had a huge impact on his health and wellbeing. Our Advocate supported him to make decisions about how he would like to be supported and make sure his wishes were heard by decisions makers. He is now living in a supported living environment. He is happy, healthy and free from abuse.

Paid Representative Role (RPR)

The Mental Capacity Act allows for safeguards to be put in place to protect people who require to be deprived of their liberty (DoLS). It is usual for the need for the deprivation is reviewed by the DoLS team on either a 6 monthly or 12 monthly basis and if appropriate, the ‘Standard Authorisation’ which allows for the deprivation of their Liberty, is renewed. People who are deprived of their liberty may not have anyone suitable that they know to represent them. If this is the case, the Local Authority have a duty to appoint a Paid Representative. Vocal advocates have now provided this role to people living in Devon and Torbay for several years. Frequently, the people receiving this service are re-referred to us following the renewal

of the Standard Authorisation. This enables our advocates to develop a really good understanding of the person and their situation and ensures a high standard and continuity of service provision.

Non-Statutory Advocacy

General Advocacy

Vocal also provides non statutory advocacy for those who need advocacy support but are not eligible for an advocate to be appointed under the Care Act or the Mental Capacity Act.

In May 2022 we secured grand funding from the Henry Smith Charity. The funding allows Vocal to provide general advocacy for people who have a learning disability who are not eligible for statutory advocacy. Our aim is to use the funding to raise the profile of advocacy, providing advocacy awareness sessions, providing advocacy ‘surgeries’ in places that people with a learning disability frequent, supporting people to self-advocate, and where necessary provide 1:1 issue based advocacy. Longer term we plan to expand the offer beyond our current geographical boundary and to support peer advocacy groups. This funding is in place for 3 years.

The graph below demonstrates the sharp increase in referrals, in previous years general advocacy provision was limited; funded through charitable donations or reinvestment of our own reserves.

With the funding provided by the Henry Smith Charity we appointed 3 part time advocates. The advocates commencing work in October 22. The following graph demonstrates the number of people that they have supported in the second half of this year. As expected, increasing our advocacy awareness sessions has had a positive impact on the number of people who are supported by our advocates. We expect the impact to be increase further as their work becomes embedded and we have figures that reflect the full year.

A client asked for advocacy support as they needed help to express their views about their relationship. That their views and wishes where not being heard was causing them great distress. The advocate supported the person to create a video which detailed their wishes, explained how they felt and the outcome that they wanted to achieve. The video was used to represent the person’s wishes at the Court of Protection. It ensured that they had a voice at this most important forum and that their views and wishes were heard by the decision makers.

As seen in the graph below, our general advocacy service covers a number of issues. Particularly high is the number of people who need support with their care provider and accommodation. Also high is the number of people who need help with relationships and social opportunities.

Advocacy for Parents with a Learning Disability

Our work in this area aims to support parents with a learning disability to understand their responsibilities as parents, engage with the local authority, understand their concerns and if necessary, support the parents to instruct their legal representatives and attend court proceedings.

In this year the number of parents supported with child protection reduced from 9 (in the previous year) to 4. Historic data provides evidence that there is unmet need; parents are unsupported. In response to this, Vocal is to launch a new project. This will raise awareness as to the impact of advocacy in this area and ensure that more people are appropriately supported. This work began in April 23 and although this is not reflected in the figures for this report, the positive impact of the launch of this service is already felt with 10 parents receiving our support in the first quarter of the 2023/24 year.

The Vocal Advocacy team provide an invaluable service to some of the most vulnerable people in our community. In my experience the clients have benefitted from their experience and support both in and out of court and I would not service. The referral process is uncomplicated, hesitate to refer further clients to this service. The referral process is uncomplicated and the team are both responsive and flexible Parents Legal

The Benefits of Advocacy

We monitor the impact of the work that we do in several ways. We ask the advocate to make a professional judgment at the start and end of each piece of work to identify the impact of advocacy.

We ask 4 questions:

The graphs show there is a definite shift in all areas from never/infrequently/sometimes to frequently or always. As a result of our work people are more involved in the decision-making process, their voice is heard by decision makers, their rights are upheld and in the vast majority of cases the person had a greater level of control over the process.

Advocates work really hard to ensure that people have as much choice and control as possible - QPM Assessor

In addition, we ask, at the end of each case:

Did our involvement affect the decision made?

Is the person protected from abuse?
Did the person gain independence?
Is the person more confident to self-advocate?

In all cases the answer was yes.

Satisfaction surveys are also sent out to service users. These can be returned anonymously. All the feedback received has been positive. All the people who responded said that they would use Vocal again in the future and felt that they were listened to, and their concerns acted upon. We also receive compliments from professionals, clients, and care providers. Here are some examples:

I would like to thank Vocal Advocacy for helping in court, it has made a huge difference - Barrister in court said to a Judge
Thank you, without you [advocate] I would have never gone to my meeting [Care Act review] - Client
The ICCA Advocate was very flexible about their involvement in the case which moved from Safeguarding into life changing decision making for the individual involved which was extremely helpful. They developed a very effective rapport with the person in difficult circumstances during a period of poor mental health and tricky family relationships and tied in well with the wider MDT and in terms of timing their own inputs. 10/10 ! - Social worker

My advocate was a real star. Not only did the situation get resolved, I realised I really felt that [advocate] took my concerns into consideration and supported me all the way through. I would recommend [advocate] again if I were to need Vocal’s assistance. Thank you so much - Client
Can I thank you again for the amazing work you have done enabling [client] to have a voice in his review, although he was not able to be part of the meeting, he has been able to make his wishes clear - Social Worker
I have someone to speak up for me which I’ve never had before – Client
Nice to see alternative communications methods being used, it shows that the work is person centred and that the client is supported to be involved as much as he is able - Legal Team on a RPR case.
Please can you share my great thanks for the support and energy that your team gave to the consultation event yesterday. The event went really well, it wouldn’t have been such a success without them - Event Co-Ordinator, Service User Engagement.
I think I am now ready to find my voice. Thanks for all your support - Client
Thank you, I could have done all the forms or known what to do without your help - Client to an Advocate
Thank you, I have never been in one of my meetings before - Client
This is the best pathway plan I have ever seen - Social Worker
I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for all your support - Social Worker
I could never have done this [engaged the client] without you – Social Worker

Service User Engagement and Quality Assurance

Service User Engagement-

As part of our efforts to achieve full Co-Production our own service user engagement initiatives have expanded during this year. Although we have always consulted our service users over recent years and noticeably more so this year, our service users have taken a much more active role within the organisation. At the last AGM they wrote and delivered presentations about their work, they are instrumental in the production of our regular newsletters and in our social media presence. They have assisted in the

Members are involved in all areas of the organization and there is a real sense of recruitment process for our new advocates, writing the job description and true coproduction and shared ownership of Vocal as an organization – QPM person spec, preparing interview questions, sitting on the recruitment Assessorpanel, deciding on appointments and supporting new staff inductions. Alongside this they have supported Vocal in a variety of projects and taken part in initiatives that develop their own life skills and support peer and self-advocacy.

Supporting other Organisations with User Engagement.

Our service user engagement initiatives on behalf of other providers have been reinstated as covid restrictions have eased. Local providers commission Vocal to facilitate service user engagement within their own organisations, this has included facilitating house meetings, completing satisfaction surveys, supporting people to attend and contribute to their organisational meetings where there is a focus on user engagement at a managerial level, and to support people to complete satisfaction surveys as part of the organisation’s quality monitoring process. Our team was also invited to support the Local Authority to facilitate community engagement events which will help to shape the local learning disability strategy for the coming years.

Quality Assurance

Vocal is commissioned by local providers and the Local Authority to complete quality audit work that enables them to monitor the quality of the service delivered. We complete ‘spot checks’ which take place at a frequency agreed with the commissioners, these can be unannounced visits, we spend time talking with the client, staff and reviewing records.

We attend reviews if this is appropriate. We give both positive and negative feedback to the commissioners and the service providers, following our visits. This is particularly helpful to 'out of county' authorities who have placed people locally, where it is not cost effective for them to travel to visit the individual on a regular basis or for authorities placing people with complex needs who required additional monitoring.

Advocacy Awareness Training

Our training activities were put on hold during the pandemic. There is a plan in place to reintroduce our training offer in the coming year. This will include advocacy awareness training; we run courses aimed at care staff from all sectors, explaining what advocacy is and the role of an advocate. These are ½ day events to give a basic understanding of advocacy and how and when to make a referral. We have found it hugely beneficial to train both service users and their support staff during the same session.

Our team of trainers are experienced in advocacy either as advocates or as experts by experience - people who have received our service and now work as volunteers within the organisation.

In addition to advocacy awareness, we can be commissioned to provide bespoke training packages, either to whole staff teams or service user groups .

Multimedia Advocacy - Vocal is the only advocacy agency in the South West to hold trainer status, accredited by the RIX Centre (East London University). We offer bespoke training packages to service users and care providers. The tools we use are not limited to advocacy or planning but can be used on a day-to-day basis to support effective communication.

Our Own Quality Assurance

The Quality Performance Mark for advocacy agencies (QPM) is a quality assessment and assurance system for providers of independent advocacy, it provides a robust benchmark to assess advocacy services. To gain the award organisations must complete a rigorous self- assessment, policy review and site visit by the assessor. The QPM is awarded to organisations who can demonstrate they are providing excellent services. Vocal achieved this award for the second time in October 2021. It is valid for 3 years. A copy of the report is available on request.

Vocal has systems in place to monitor and improve the quality of the service that is provided. In addition, at the end of each piece of work satisfaction surveys are sent out, the feedback we get is really positive. All the feedback we received confirmed that the people who used Vocal felt that their advocates listened to them and treated them well. All would use Vocal again in the future if they needed to.

Any complaints received or concerns raised are thoroughly investigated and learning identified to ensure we can develop practice and share learning.

A local authority stakeholder was keen to highlight the quality of the service, collaborative working relationship, the privacy and autonomy, their streamlined and timely accountability around safeguarding issues and the way that they keep track of each cases progress - QPM Assessor

Managing Risk

Vocal policy and procedures ensure that risk management strategies are in place to support the staff, and the organisation. These include safeguarding, safe recruitment, lone working, health and safety and environmental risk assessments. These are subject to regular reviews and updates. Operational risks are reviewed and monitored as part of the organisation’s strategic plan.

Data Protection

Vocal has policies and procedures in place to ensure the protection of personal and sensitive data. These are subject to regular review in light of the GDPR which came into effect on 25[th] May 2018 and the data protection Act 2018.

Our Plans for Next Year

Following successful funding bids to the Lloyds Bank Foundation of England and Wales and to the Henry Smith Charity the next 12 months promise to be an exciting time for Vocal. Not only will we be able to expand to enable us to offer more general advocacy to people who have a learning disability, we will benefit from the support of the Lloyds Enhanced offer which we will use to secure the long-term sustainability of Vocal.

In the coming year we plan to:

Launch our project to support parents with child protection.
Reinstate and expand our training offer.
Renew our website and increase our social media presence.
Continue to raise the profile of advocacy and increase the number of people we support.

Treasurers financial review - Margaret Cushen, Treasurer

This year has seen a change in our finances, with the award of grant funding from Lloyds Bank Foundation and the Henry Smith Charity. We have employed some talented new advocates to help us deliver the funded work. The Consortium contract for provision of Statutory Advocacy was extended for another 12 months, allowing us to concentrate on delivery of advocacy services. We continue to invest using Grant funding and reserves to consolidate our position and secure future growth and long term sustainability. In response to the cost-of-living crisis this included an increase in salaries. We will continue to hold our reserves at the current level, until we are in a position to measure the success of our plans and we are clear on the renewal of our contracts.

In 2023 Vocal will celebrate its 30[th] anniversary. We have many celebrations planned, which will take place throughout the year. They will include fundraisers, awareness raising initiatives and social activities. We also intend to launch a new Logo.

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME

This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.

Recognition of income These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: Offsetting Grants and donations Legacies Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Donated goods Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Volunteer help · 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. There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Contractual income and performance related grants This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Donated services and facilities Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. Income from interest, royalties and dividends This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Income from membership subscriptions Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies.

2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Liability recognition Redundancy cost The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. Deferred income No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. Creditors Provisions for liabilities 2.4 ASSETS These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least They are valued at cost. The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2. Intangible fixed assets They are valued at cost. Heritage assets They are valued at cost. Investments Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. Settlement of insurance claims Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. Investment gains and losses This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Governance and support costs Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. Grants with performance conditions Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. Grants payable without performance conditions Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date Basic financial instruments The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. Tangible fixed assets for use by charity The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5 The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic, scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4. Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments Stocks and work in progress Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable value. Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock.
