## **4. Code of conduct**
A code of conduct sets out our expectations of staff and volunteers; includes a clear expectation
**Charity Report: Mode Rehabilitation**
January **2022**

of what people should do and conduct themselves and what they must not do or say within the organisation. This will help raise awareness of illegal, unsafe, unprofessional, and unwise behaviour. Being clear about standards of behaviour is an integral part of safeguarding and keeping staff safe and making them feel heard, understood and always respected of staff, volunteers and any clients or participants in creating the code, so it is inclusive and ensures all people feel it protects everyone involved. We ensure everyone in the organisation is aware it applies to them, and they must follow all its standards.
Mode Rehabilitation includes specific standards or expectations for roles with responsibilities when necessary. We ensure the code allows participants to question staff and volunteers if they think they’re doing something wrong. Our organisation’s charity trustees, and senior managers regularly review what risks the organisation faces, including any safeguarding risks. They meet with the CEO regularly and discuss regularly how to mitigate any risks effectively. A document is held at MODE covering how to reduce or plan for any risks, which helps each staff member to see how safeguarding sits alongside other risk management or concerns.
The risk management statement reports all significant risks the charity faces and how it controls those risks, as well as safeguarding matters, or if there is an increased risk of reports of harm in the organisation.
- See the Charity Commission guidance on risk management.
- We use the NCVO members risk register template.
- Mode delivers an online service and uses Digisafe guidance and templates to assess and mitigate risk.
- We are supported by the National Youth Agency Safeguarding and Risk Management Hub.
- Maintain a trustees’ annual report

In 2020, we worked diligently to support many people struggling through the impact of the
Covid-19 pandemic. The MODE team delivered 100 books (manual) titled ‘Journey’ across
Stockport Borough to YP, who found it difficult to speak and/or effectively communicate when
they called our telephone line for counselling support. The Journey manual was a ‘tool kit’ to
help people work through and enabled YP to anchor their thoughts onto. It also acted as a
navigation tool to identify who they are, where they want to get o in their life/goals and how they
want to get to maintain their goals. Through donations we managed to purchase the books and
deliver to those accessing our support.

Our main activities for this year have included school counselling, workshop delivery, mental
health support for the veteran community, crisis support and wraparound services for
vulnerable groups. We have diversified our activities throughout the pandemic to include more
telephone-based support and the introduction of video calling services.
Our evidence-based work with YP/children in schools in collaboration with the University of
Manchester has been documented in six published research papers by Dr Anna Marie
Churchman, a volunteer and trustee during her PhD. Below is the link to the publications:

**The Veteran Community**
The Veteran Foundation (VF) are supporting the Drop-in support service at the MODE Hub. It
allows ex-Service personnel immediate access to support and information to navigate the
complex mental health system. The Drop-in is open each day but is supported by the VF two
days a week. MODE offered a counselling and psychological therapy service from our safe
surroundings in Stockport. The VF also helped in promoting our services by its media
campaign and its wide-reaching supporters. It has enabled veterans, their families, partners
and children/carers access support. Also, through this Drop-in service friends have
recommended vulnerable friends and friends and partners during Covid19. MODE’s volunteers
and counsellors support the Drop-in each Tuesdays and Thursday, but our phone lines are
open 24/7 and we return all calls.
**MODE Facilitators in Collaboration with Project RECCE**
A team of facilitators from Mode Rehabilitation facilitators support Service Leavers and ex-
service personnel into construction through MODE’s ‘Resilience to Civilian Life’ (RtCL)
programme. MODE’s Resilience to Civilian life programme is being rolled out nationally with
Project RECCE. We want to thank the MODE team and originators of the programme, who
were a huge part of its original success. Our grateful thanks, goes to Bernie Broad, Anamaria
Churchman, Danielle Heath, Lizzi Ward, Shane Lee, Pastor Paul Lloyd, Anton Penrose, Danny
Wilson, Jemima Clark, and Sarah Gbeleyi, not least the CIG Control Group.
The Clinical design is a holistic approach to therapy and is the cornerstone of ensuring
participants are ‘work ready’. We at Mode Rehabilitation have taken our core aim and created a
bespoke ‘Resilience to Civilian Life’ workshop. This week-long package has been designed by
a team comprised of an interdisciplinary bank of staff, consisting of a full-time Therapist, who is
an Accredited Professional Therapist, Clinical Case Manager, Mental Health worker and Board-
Certified Psychiatrist.
The workshop is delivered during the first week of the course, allowing participants to re-
discover their core competencies and transferable skills. With enduring clinical oversight and

_Service user and volunteer at MODE_
My name is Lauren and I have been using the services with MODE for almost 2 years. I got to know the service through a friend that worked at MODE. I began having counselling with for a while, then told the Psychological Therapist Susan McCormack that I was an artist. Susan has been very supportive; she elevated my career aspirations in becoming a more established artist. I completed an honours degree in Visual Arts in 2018, then struggled to know where my next direction would be as an artist. Sue gave me the opportunity to pick myself up in 2020, supplying me with a space to create paintings. I’m so privileged to have taken this opportunity. I personally have delt with many mental health problems in my life, dealing with eating disorders, depression, psychosis, etc. MODE took me away from my troubles and put me in a secure, supportive environment. This was near the start of the pandemic, Sue gave me counselling, then found different ways to help me. I really don’t know where I’d be today if it wasn’t for MODE’s help. I had further counselling at MODE in 2021, which helped me explore and understand myself better. I love having the space to relax and paint, a studio. I want to inspire other people into making art as it really does benefit your mental health. For me it makes me happy as I’m doing what I love and it’s amazing to be supported through that. I do aspire in doing my own art shows and selling the paintings I make. I mostly specialise in floral paintings. I love to paint flowers because they fascinate me and love
fascinate me and love their beauty. I use realism techniques, while observing pictures while applying them onto canvases. I have given you a look at some of the paintings I’ve made over the past few years at MODE - some from 2020 to present.

I was made aware of Susan McCormack and MODE Rehabilitation by a highly respected fellow from the Faculty of Human Sciences within the University of Manchester.

**Veteran Foundation Support**
The Veteran Foundation has been our principal Grant partner for this financial year. The
foundation’s support has facilitated Mode Rehabilitation to extend our services to several
beneficiaries including WWtW, Gerrards Tarmac, self-referred veterans, veterans reached
through advertisements promoted through the VF website, and others ran through Cobseo
and ASDIC. Other projects, such as Project RECCE, are secondary beneficiaries.
**Forever Manchester**
Our second principal partner. The grant has enabled us to offer fast track access support to
confidential, independent psychological therapy. Also, crisis support and wraparound
services for individuals, families, vulnerable community groups, and students, made
possible through Forever Manchester funding. We have worked in partnership with NHS,
statutory bodies, Manchester University, and Third Sector Organisations to offer
supplementary care to ensure the welfare and wellbeing of vulnerable individuals. We also
provided mentoring services.
**Stockport Metropolitan Bough Council**
We have worked closely with Stockport schools; helping young people and those who work
with them; to provide community-based projects to offer practical and emotional support,
improve educational attainment, attendance and emotional wellbeing.
Our Single Point of Access & Whole School Approach is enabling us to provide a range of
services in schools. Such as, Clinical Psychological Therapists providing Team Around the
Child support, counselling, Ed Psych Assessments, Training to staff, mentoring service for
its pupils and parental support. This year we have provided counselling sessions to a total of
172 pupils. There were 285 recorded counselling sessions.
Stockport Schools: Due to the success of this implementation we have since expanded our
presence to include more schools, such as, this mixed secondary school with over 1100
students on roll. We will support Stockport schools through COVID 19, to include two
counsellors through ZOOM to each school supporting between 15-20 pupils each day.
**The Stockport Local**
Conventional therapy is often hard to access, expensive, and can take away choice and
control from young people. We have offered a range of systematic talking therapies,
including CBT, Counselling, EMDR, and Method of Levels therapy.
Our expenditures have supported our charity objectives, enabling us to provide beneficial
facilities and services for the treatment, rehabilitation, advice, support, care and recreation
of persons who have mental illnesses.
Conventional sessions typically offer everyone the same number of sessions and parents, or
teachers choose when and for how long young people access support even though young
people might not feel ready to talk or prefer not to miss certain lessons to receive support.
Some of the young people reported needing more support, which, say the team, infers their
needs are not being met when following an adult driven model.|

Workshops: specifically designed for boys to come and discuss male issues in confidence, in a group setting, with other boys. Each session covers a different topic and includes issues such as substance abuse, girlfriend problems, bullying, absent fathers, and more. We will apply morning sessions 1 hour, with between 12-15 pupils in attendance per session. We can engage and inspire young people and to family and friends.

## **Section F Other optional information**
## **Brief Summary of Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Mode Rehabilitation**
Mode Rehabilitation lost some of our school contracts in the wake of the pandemic’s adverse economic effects. Nonetheless, we managed to support YP and veterans who were in crisis and unable to get an appointment for an assessment within 3months, and for some, as long as a ten-month wait. We managed to support our beneficiaries by innovatively offering access to our services through Zoom and MS Teams. However, our over-focus on supporting and bridging the gap for those in crisis meant we had little time to apply for funding. This is particularly a major setback since Mode Rehabilitation is looking to employ people on a full-time basis to improve sustainability and develop our resources to improve service to our community and offer a wider reach to a struggling community amidst a services shortage that barely meets the demand.
## *****OUR MISSION*****
Our mission is to support those who access our charity through our highly experienced staff so that they will be able to work more effectively to help people find purpose and meaning to attain important goals. We want to provide the highest level of service while individualising the support we offer, maintaining integrity, fairness, honesty and confidentiality.
## **Youth Projects**
Many Projects had to be put on hold due to Covid19. Also, due to funding changes, it meant that a greater focus was needed to support YP who were isolating and unable to manage their emotions at a time of school closures. Further, privacy of counselling meant that MODE facilities were able to accommodate multiple counselling spaces, suited to meet the needs of the changing application of counselling. We supported YP through the MODE Hub for emergency attendees only, and the psychological therapists used the separate counselling rooms, where counsellors could practice safely.
We were able to occupy private spaces in the many therapeutic rooms held at MODE. We were able to offer crisis support and bridge the gap, at a time YP were seeking help, after statutory services were experiencing long wait lists to seek Mental Health provision. Crisis support had risen exponentially. Many mental health organisations initially had staff furloughed, our counselling team, both paid and in volunteer roles, continued to help YP and gain a range of experiences, gain knowledge from the MODE supervisory team during the pandemic.
Our model of support is unique, we are a pioneering charity in the UK, working in the education system and applying our model of support, varied roles teachers, teaching assistants and other education professional employ in supporting young people, academically, physically but also psychologically and emotionally.
Mode Rehabilitation is excited to announce our plans to develop our Drop-in service for Veterans, Service Leavers, Families/Partners and YP, and Carers through Veterans’ Foundation support. has provided a grant of £20,000 funding to Mode Rehabilitation. This funding allows the charity to run 200 free counselling and support clinics for local Veterans. Regarding the grant from Veterans’ Foundation, Mode Rehabilitation had this to say: “With this level of availability we are confident that we could offer local veterans an assessment within 48 hours and the commencement of treatment within one week, thus reducing waiting times for assessment and treatment by 16 days and 51 weeks, respectively, compared to the national average.

Our goal moving forward is to establish ourselves as the primary first responder charity for military veterans in Stockport and South Manchester. This funding will enable us to succeed in that goal and we are extremely grateful to the Veterans’ Foundation for this opportunity!” Further, plans are underway for our respite centre, along with our creative hub and our HUGE!!! premises in Stockport. We can continue our support with projects; MACH - EXCITE – T20 are projects we will continue once the situation has lifted. These are just some of the projects that aim to incorporate artistic activities to help young people understand their complicated past and consequently shape their positive future post-Covid-19.
MODE projects are a vibrant mix of discovery, resilience, goal setting and supportive outcomes. New starts and maintaining fresh beginnings, spurring one another on. The projects aim to enhance our community, by sharing and encouraging each other’s experiences, as a source of inspiration, resources, and a melting pot for creative expression. Workshops are to be facilitated by professional musicians, artists and photographers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0hdDeBJ7Tc
## **Testimonials**
_“Six months to a year ago, I could never have said the words ‘love’ but you never gave up on me, I don’t know how to trust, because of the echoes of the past, but you never gave up on me, for that I am truly grateful and during the pandemic, I don’t know how I would have got through_ _**” (Veteran)**_
_"MODE has helped me not only improve my mental and social state but also has helped me improve as a individual. Before the help of Susan McCormack, I had a bad childhood which kept traumatising me and my severe anxiety and autism caused me to have a lack of friends and understanding of society. After her help I have managed to have strong friendships and be happier in general. The discussions were a major influence over the years we talked and if it weren't for her, I may not even be around today or have become the man I am now and I'm extremely grateful for it, that is how successful her support was" (_ _**Young Person)**_
_“Being a soldier and to know where I came from and why, has helped me move forward in my life, and for that help I am so grateful, I will recommend this charity to anyone who needs help”_ _**(Veteran).**_
_We hope that you have a wonderful time and thank you for coming and support our purpose. Your support, this evening, will help us to launch a brand-new innovative project._
MODE is proud to offer support and Veterans and YP, families, children and Carers achieve goals that are important to them. However, many families are unable to provide emotional support for their children, and all individuals need to be cared for. We are very aware that some individuals cannot access therapy, or able to ask for help. Therefore, in 2014 we started a Single Point of Access to tackle that problem.
We are incredibly proud of our team and the achievements through the services we have provided. The ability to offer such opportunities to all people, regardless of background, sex, income, symptoms and diagnosis, our robust model is of huge benefit. As a result of your generosity, support along with donations, and fundraising activities, communications, and social media, the next years activities will give us more visibility to reach more people and importantly change lives for the better. Susan McCormack Founder and CEO. Have a wonderful year!
