## **1. Introduction**
West Sussex Parent Carer Forum supports parent carers of children and young people aged 0-25 with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). We are an independent, parent carer led charity representing the views of our members in West Sussex. We work in partnership with others to make our voice heard, to positively influence and improve local services for children and young people with SEND. We also provide information, training and support.
## **2. Our Vision & Mission**
Vision: A West Sussex where every child or young person with SEND has the opportunity to reach their full potential, and where parent carers are respected as equal partners in decision-making.
Mission: To provide a platform for parent carers of children with SEND to connect, share experiences, and influence the development and delivery of services.
## **3. Objectives**
The charitable purposes of West Sussex Parent Carer Forum are to relieve the needs of children with disabilities and/ or additional needs and their parents and families in West Sussex through participation in shaping local services, the provision of information and support.
The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
In 2022/23 WSPCF focused on delivering five main goals:
1. To continue to strengthen our operational team.
2. To increase our parent carer engagement. 3. To continue to coproduce services across West Sussex.
4. To build our regional engagement across the National Network of Parent Carer Forums across the South East. 5. To build financial resilience.
We work in partnership with others to make our voice heard, to positively influence and improve local services for children and young people with SEND. We also provide information, training and support
2022/23
## **4. Structure, Governance & Management**
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association adopted on 16th August 2013.
In the first quarter of 22-23 there were significant Board and management changes; 3 consecutive Chairs and the eventual loss of 3 trustees. Then, combined with 3 out of 4 senior management left, the Charity faced challenges.
However, left with a streamlined team facing hard work and determination we overcame these challenges to continue pushing onwards.
In March 2023 we felt it was time to come together in the real world rather than virtual and moved back to an office! Having been based at home since the beginning of the Covid lockdowns this gave the team a place to meet, collaborate ideas and encourage one another.
The Board met with the acting CEO at least once every term, working inbetween to steer day to day, operational and strategic matters.

## **4. Structure, Governance & Management**
These were the Trustees on Board during this time, who I thank for their resilience and commitment during the year.

(R) Resigned during financial year 22/23
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law. Under the requirements of the Articles of Association the trustees are appointed by ordinary resolution. The recruitment of new trustees will be informed by the skills and experience gaps identified by the skills matrix and a search conducted for trustees able to strengthen the current Board of Trustees. None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up
The Board met with the acting CEO at least once every term, with additional Trustee meetings to discuss and steer day to day, operational and strategic matters.
## **5. Financial Overview**
We are proud to maintain a strong financial position, enabling us to continue our objectives and expand our reach to parent carers and stakeholders. We need to build sustainability for the future. Our DforE funding comes via a grant from Contact but this alone does not cover our expenses. The ability to secure annual funding from the Local Authority, Stakeholders and other sources is crucial in the coming years.
Total income of £184092
Total outgoings of £182066
## **Surplus Funds £2026**
Reserves:
The targeted reserves figure is £85000.
The Trustees have taken 5 key elements into account:
- 1.An analysis of existing funds
- 2.The reliability of current income sources and new income opportunities
- 3.Expenditure on planned activities
- 4.Future needs, contingencies and risks
- 5.Consequences of being unable to meet forecasted need
The current policy aims to maintain unrestricted reserves at a level necessary to function effectively for an interim period of 6 months, should financial difficulties occur beyond the control of the charity; this equates to our core costs.
The reserves currently exceed this level to mitigate the risk of losing our main source of funding. Current reserves would give us time to assess and take action as deemed necessary in a timely manner for example to source alternative funding and/or fundraise.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
**Please see the Financial Accounts for further details**
## **6. Activities and Achievements**
## 2022/23
Engagement and Representation: We continued to engage with parent carers through various channels, including workshops, surveys, F2F events and Social Media. The team actively participated in over 275 meetings and panels, contributing valuable insights to improve SEND services in West Sussex.
Green Paper Roadshows across the county - 45 parent carers attended 6 F2F roadshows to learn about the Green Paper and share their views and feedback with us.
We offered coffee, cake, lunch, ice cream, prizes and peer support at 12 events to over 140 parent carers who came to our many face to face events across the county.
“Brilliant, informative 2 part event with 2 very knowledgeable trainer parent carers. I will use the resources and tools to further my own knowledge, which will help to support my severely disabled daughter”
"Just wanted to say that Ellie's presentation was one of the best and most relevant things I have heard in the last 10+ years. Thank you."
"Thank you for putting these workshops on, they are valuable and have provided me with lots of relevant information to help me get the best care for my son."
2022/23
## **University of Chichester:**
To date we have shared our lived experience first-hand to more than _306_ students. Sharing this whilst sill on their learning journey is wide and long term, creating positive impacts on their future engagement with SEND families.
- BA (Hons) Education, Special Needs and Disability (20 students)
- BA (Hons) Primary Teaching (QTS) (60 students)
- PGCE Primary (5-11)
- NASENC: National Award for SENCO (120> students)
- MA Inclusive Special Education (26 students)
- University of Chichester SEND Conference (80 students)
_Student voice: Students report that they are likely to connect with WSPCF on qualification and tell future colleagues about the forum. Students reflect in their work on the importance of authentic and meaningful partnership with families as part of a whole school approach to inclusion._
_Student Voice:_ Students report that the session has helped them reflect and think critically from a holistic and family perspective about supporting children and young people with SEND.
2022/23
## **Local Authority:**
Lived experience training was delivered to 40 staff at the Early Help hub in Crawley this year.
_Staff fed back that hearing lived experience was more useful for them understanding neurodivergence than other types of training, and had more impact on them and therefore on their future practice._
## **Partnerships:**
We strengthened partnerships with local authorities, health services, and educational institutions; with an invitation to almost every major board and panel in West Sussex, also to the ICS Sussex Wide CYP Board. We are also attending the annual Senco conference to reinforce our ground level work in schools as part of the Autism in Schools project.
## **Information and Resources:**
We are working on a new website that will be more interactive for our parent carers and members.
Information regularly available and the vision of being able to share ‘your story’ along with other topical feedback. This is ongoing work in progress! Our Social Media continue to be a source of local and national information.

## **9. Conclusion**
This has been a tough year in terms of working to keep things maintained whilst supporting our parent carers and building on existing relationships with stakeholders, but when faced with challenges, we rise! We are filled with determination to make a positive impact on the lives of children and young people (and their families) with SEND in West Sussex.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF WEST SUSSEX PARENT CARER FORUM**
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of West Sussex Parent Carer Forum (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the Trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity 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 the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
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 that in any material respect:
- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the financial statements 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 financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

## **WEST SUSSEX PARENT CARER FORUM**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Charity information**
West Sussex Parent Carer Forum is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Mocatta House, Trafalgar Place, Brighton, BN1 4DU.
## **1.1 Accounting convention**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
## **1.2 Going concern**
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **1.3 Charitable funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
## **1.4 Income**
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.
## **1.5 Expenditure**
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is classified under the headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Expenditure under £500 is not capitalised.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures and fittings 10 years straight line Computers 4 years straight line

## **WEST SUSSEX PARENT CARER FORUM**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
**(Continued)**
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets**
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
## **1.8 Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
## **1.9 Financial instruments**
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
## _**Basic financial assets**_
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
## _**Basic financial liabilities**_
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
## **1.10 Employee benefits**
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

## **1 Accounting policies**
## **(Continued)**
## **1.11 Pension**
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements**
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF WEST SUSSEX PARENT CARER FORUM**
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of West Sussex Parent Carer Forum (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the Trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity 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 the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
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 that in any material respect:
- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the financial statements 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 financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

## **WEST SUSSEX PARENT CARER FORUM**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Charity information**
West Sussex Parent Carer Forum is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Mocatta House, Trafalgar Place, Brighton, BN1 4DU.
## **1.1 Accounting convention**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
## **1.2 Going concern**
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **1.3 Charitable funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
## **1.4 Income**
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.
## **1.5 Expenditure**
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is classified under the headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Expenditure under £500 is not capitalised.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures and fittings 10 years straight line Computers 4 years straight line

## **WEST SUSSEX PARENT CARER FORUM**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
**(Continued)**
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets**
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
## **1.8 Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
## **1.9 Financial instruments**
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
## _**Basic financial assets**_
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
## _**Basic financial liabilities**_
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
## **1.10 Employee benefits**
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

## **1 Accounting policies**
## **(Continued)**
## **1.11 Pension**
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements**
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
