**1. Governance**
The charity is governed by a board of trustees. Our Chief Executive Officer and Founder, Susan
McCormack, andourappointed Chair, Anthony Douglas Hughes, shall oversee the day-to-day
management of the organisation. Mode Rehabilitation has a highly committed board of trustees
who share their experience, strengths, and hope found in the mission statement. It is through their
extraordinary commitment and dedication that they provide the highest standards of support to
ensure the aims and objectives of the charity are met.
1.
The Chair enables the board to work as an effective and proactive team by developing
strong working relationshipsamongboard members, creating a culturethatrespects individual
differences andusingreflectivepractisefor personal as well as professional development.
2.
All the trustees of Mode are well-versed in the ethos of the charity and possess the
appropriate skills and knowledge to act effectively in their roles.
3.
By using their effective leadership skills, the board makes decisions in a collaborative effort
that challenges, provides feedback, encourages, and shares ideas. The board also unites with the
management team and accepts the required infrastructure and operation of the charity as binding
in nature.
The board’s culture, behaviours, and processes aid the teamin actingefficiently and incisively
when negotiating different views and resolving challenges when they arise. Collectively, the board
attains the appropriate balance of skills, experience, background and knowledge to make informed
decisions. The CEO is, in turn, accountable to the Chair.
**2. Operational Team**
Mode Rehabilitation has a well-defined management structure. Our team comprises a Chief Clinical
LeadandCounselling Psychologist with access to a team of leading Clinical Psychologists who
provide supervision, share ideas, and support the theoretical model that underpins the charity. The
university and bank of leading Clinical Psychologists and researchers support our ideas for research
and provide evidence for the field of mental health we operate within. We have two part-time
counselling psychologists, a Substance Misuse Practitioner, and Clinical Case Manager, Mental
Health Workers. The charity has two board-certified Educational Psychologists and multiple peer
Mentors/Volunteers and Internships from the Manchester Metropolitan University.
The charity’s success is born from a rigorous approach to the recruitment of Trustees, their
performance and development, as well as the day-to-day conduct of the Board. It is an effective
team, engaging in weekly supervision from two independent sources. The Chief Clinical Lead is
supervised by the University of Manchester Clinical Psychologist, Dr. W. Mansell, to effectively
facilitate the continual development of the model that underpins Mode’s practice. Further, the
Chief Executive Officer receives external supervision on a bimonthly basis.|

s to

them.|**3. Policy & Procedures**
Mode Rehabilitation follows specific policies and procedures that suit our organisation’s work with
the armed forces community, including service leavers, veterans, families, young people, and
carers. We ensure that the safeguarding and risk management policies are updated on an annual
basis, and we conduct an annual independent audit to ensure that the governance standards are
up to date. We work with the Federation of Small Businesses to follow a checklist or framework
that helpsmaintaincurrent legislation. We have recently become members oftheICO and NCVO
to ensure peace of mind that all our policies and procedures are reviewed and entirely in line with
the latest guidance and bestpractises.
The following central policies are updated on an annual basis:
●
Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults;
●
Safeguarding Young People;
●
Lone Working Policies;
●
Operational Policy;
●
Health and Safety Policy;
●
Equality and Diversity Policy;
●
Whistleblowing Policy;
●
Bullying, Harassment, and Sexual Harassment Policy; and
●
Data Protection Policy.
4. **The Governance Code**
Our Trustees undertake their duties efficiently and diligently. Charity ethical principles are
observed and characterised by Mode Rehabilitation as a principled organisation guided by a solid
set of values, beliefs, behaviours, and actions. This provides an excellent governance tool to ensure
swift and goodpractisewithin our organisation. All members of the charity, including the non-
executive advisers, staff, volunteers and people we work with, are aware of the management and
safeguarding of vulnerable people. The policy and procedures are readily available and accessible,
andat the same time, it is apparent in its plan how the organisation attempts to ensure awareness
of changes amongst individuals and keep a track of how effective they are in supporting our team.
Mode Rehabilitation provides regular training and has access to the most current support
materials.
The trustees ensure the safe safeguarding policies are annually updated and immediate access to
updated policies and proceduresisshared electronically as well as access to hard copies. The
trustees fulfil their duty of care to the charity and this is conveyed to all members of the staff. We
persistin providinga full-time service and achieve exceptional standards, such as weekly
supervision and weekly “huddle” staff meetings. Susan McCormack, CEO (Clinical Lead/Officer),
said in a recent peer review of the charitythat“we are continuing to provide evidence of clinical
outcomes, and a recent study will help to inform the development of support that we can offer
and help the future direction of Mode Rehabilitation.” Mode Rehabilitation has a designated
Safeguarding Lead, and two non-executive advisors who are experienced in charity governance,|

**Charity Report: Mode Rehabilitation**
working in charities and abiding by detailed guidance on receiving, assessing and managing any safeguarding concerns. The reporting procedure explains how people can make their concerns known to the board as follows:
⮚ Making it explicit whom to speak to when raising a concern. ⮚ A method of reporting problems with sensitivity and safety that includes a place of storage and a procedure for internal sharing. ⮚ How these concerns may impact the requirement of police, social services or regulators if necessary; and ⮚ More about reporting procedures and the dissemination of submitting a report file. **5. Code of conduct** Mode Rehabilitation includes specific standards and/or expectations for roles and responsibilities when necessary. A code of conduct establishes expectations for staff and volunteers; it specifies what people should do and how they should conduct themselves within the organisation. This understanding enhances the staff's awareness of illegal, unsafe, unprofessional, and unwise behaviour. Being clear about standards of behaviour is an integral part of safeguarding as well as keeping staff safe and ensuring they feel heard, understood and validated.
Our organisation’s charity trustees, and senior managers regularly review what risks the organisation faces, including any safeguarding risks. A document held at Mode offers a plan for any hazards, which helps each staff member see how safeguarding sits alongside other risk management or concerns. It assists in understanding how to control the risks, ensure efficient safeguarding, or if there is an increased risk of reports of harm in the organisation.

● The National Youth Agency Safeguarding and Risk Management Hub, as well as we, use the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) member's risk register template. ● To maintain a trustees’ annual report.
## **6. Measuring Outcomes & Developing Research**
Alongside qualitative data, the measures are applied to understand and review what is working well for people who access our services and measures that can be undertaken to improve delivery.We use the following outcome measures for the same:

However, many different explanations exist to explain the presence of psychological problems, and frequently, the explanations lack scientific plausibility. Simply put, many current ideas about psychological problems are inaccurate. The work conducted by our highly experienced Clinical Psychologists and PhD in Clinical health offer rich knowledge and share their insight in the manner to progress to live fulfilling lives. For example, their knowledge and expertise allow them to support some of the most complex challenges presented by service leavers, veterans and their families. It is through the shared experience, knowledge and expertise that this charity has spearheaded projects that build resilience skills for the armed forces community. https://ilovemanchester.com/project-recce-manchester-social-enterprise. For that reason, we designed and disseminated the 'Resilience to Civilian Life’ (RtCL) programme, which is successfully delivered to the UK’s leading construction companies. In January 2022, the RtCL programme was successfully rolled out as part of the Military Talent Programme for Belfour Beatty. https://pathfinderinternational.co.uk/dynamic-complex-working-environments/.

## **10. Post Covid**
We extended our services since the COVID-19 lockdown significantly impacted the lives of young people and limited the usual face-to-face contact with many of the most vulnerable. We bridged the gap, identifying some of our most complex clients and giving them coaching opportunities to build structure and routine to prevent isolation and loneliness. Many vulnerable people did not recover from the impact and some family members in the community turned to alcohol or medication as coping strategies. In this situation, staff developed a programme of support to assist those young people who struggled to discuss their thoughts and feelings. The Mode Rehabilitation team continues to provide journals to support those at risk of isolation. Journaling is a useful tool to help people navigate their thoughts and will improve internal motivation. Current ideas about the journey through a process of positive change and taking control over their behaviours with the assistance of trained counsellors.

We also worked with the local schools to identify young people in the armed forces community. _“If there is anything that we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in ourselves.” -_ Carl Jung.
The Mode staff responded rapidly to the needs of these individuals and in 2021-2022, a 24/7 phone line to support connectedness was developed. This expansion of our support to the community is a powerful protective factor against self-harm and suicide. The North-West Ambulance Service refers patients into Mode Rehabilitation as a first response and collaborative partner.
## **11. First Responder**
One service manager of the Northwest Ambulance Mental Health Team/Responder said, “We are encouraged by the fast response of your service to people in crisis.”We achieved this through our extraordinary professionals, who are highly committed to seeing change, have overcome divergent problems and have demonstrated an inspiring level of resilience and diversity. Overall, our recovery experience, academic backgrounds, and support from Clinical Psychologists at the University of Manchester have impassioned the staff to encourage and enabled us to confidently support others effectively.

In this environment, both the client and the therapist can find increased power and freedom.
We have continued to work alongside a team of clinical psychologists and clinicians for our personal development and have been part of a team of researchers and therapists who have an interest in the development of a unique framework that underpins our work. Our independent Single Point of Access shows how we create a climate that fosters purposeful lives, achievement, caring and safety for all who access our services. The role of the Single Point of Access is to offer connected, flexible help to individuals, help them understand how they can become disciplined within and create opportunities for them to do this in a non-coercive setting.
## **13. The Veteran Community**
The Veteran Foundation have supported the drop-in at the MODE HQ so that we can effectively reach the needs of the Armed Forces Community. The drop-in is open each day and is supported by the Veteran Foundation two days a week. It allows ex-service personnel and veterans immediate access to psychological counselling and mental health support. The generous donation from the Veteran Foundation has allowed Mode Rehabilitation to collaborate with other organisations to increase the level of support, provide advice, and provide information to help the AFC navigate the complex mental health system. This year, Mode Rehabilitation has extended the support to reach more veterans, their families and carers by increasing collaboration among veterans’ organisations across the UK.
Our unique ‘transdiagnostic’ approach to supporting the needs of the individual means that we work across diagnoses and symptoms; no problem is too complex. We work in a way that can explore the client's needs through our initial assessments and help the client navigate a mental health system tailored to their needs. Mode Rehabilitation volunteers, interns, and psychological therapists/counsellors support the drop-in each Tuesday and Thursday in Bredbury, Stockport and Oldham Wednesdays, with 24/7 telephone availability through telephone support, Zoom and TEAMS.
Mode Rehabilitation wants to thank its facilitators for supporting,encouraging and motivating the ex-Armed Forces into construction. The ‘Resilience to Civilian Life’ programme (Rt C L) has been instrumental in the success of Project RECCE. - - - https://pathfinderinternational.co.uk/dynamic complex working environments/ The Military Talent Programme for Belfour Beatty will continue to create employment opportunities. Mode Rehabilitation wants to thank all the programme's originators, who generously gave up their time: Bernie Broad, Anamaria Churchman, Danielle Heath, Lizzi Ward, Shane Lee, Pastor Paul Lloyd, Anton Penrose, Danny Wilson, Danny Dockray, Jemima Clark, and Sarah Gbeleyi. Lauren Bagueley, Christopher Barrington, and Lydia Morris for permission to adapt the Take Control course.
The clinical design for ex-Armed Forces participants takes a holistic approach to ensure participants have a period of reflection before entering the construction industry. From the perspective of understanding the process of building a foundation, this week ensures that exArmed Forces personnel are ready to learn, become and remain ‘work ready,’ and be better informed for a new career, having applied reflexivity, and thought about essential goals to transition successfully.

## **14. Collaboration with a Range of Organisations and Charities**
Mode Rehabilitation offers counselling and psychological therapy services from our headquarters in Stockport and organisations and charities. This year, we have expanded our reach due to our personal and flexible approach to providing appointments on Zoom, TEAMS, and a wide-ranging range of support in our new facilities in Oldham. The Veteran Foundation helped promote our services through its media campaign and has enabled us to increase our reach, provide systemic support, and provide support through collaborative working across services that support the AFC.
## **15. Professional development**
One of the most critical and comprehensive responsibilities of charity trustees is their duty of care, both to their charity and to beneficiaries. The CEO advocates rehabilitative support and has faced a lifetime of physical rehabilitation challenges, which he has overcome. When a charity is working with vulnerable beneficiaries, such as the armed forces community, families, carers and young people, it's crucial to have the necessary safeguards in place to protect them.
This opportunity to provide work experience has offered centralised work placements and career development opportunities, as well as a platform that empowers productivity.
To fulfil our duty of care, the charity’s trustees have ultimate oversight and responsibility for all aspects of the charity operation. The charity has improved its training support and developed skills and development packages for service users.
**Our trustees are aware of the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance and have considered it when making decisions as to which advice is relevant. This year, our main focus and beneficiaries have been to help a generation of traumatised children affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.** We have increased our support to include organisations that support the armed forces community with an increase in ex-military personnel seeking help for substance misuse, anxiety, anger management, breakdown in family relationships, unemployment, disability, housing, and criminal activity.
Many service users have accessed our support for recovery from overmedication. With more service leavers and veterans seeking help with family breakdowns after leaving the British Army, the landscape is changing. This year, we have also helped some family members of Afghan citizens who served in the British Army as interpreters.
## **16. Young people of military service in schools.**
Our charity has developed collaborative work with other organisations to support more service leavers and veterans. This coming year, we are looking forward to announcing a novel and exciting collaboration with more projects underway in our innovative naturalistic setting; the Lakeside Sanctuary is part of our expansion to provide support in Oldham.

**The Veteran Foundation’s**
The support provided by The Veteran Foundation enabled Mode Rehabilitation to extend its
services to several beneficiaries, including sharing recovery and rehabilitation, 12- step
addiction and substance misuse support,andrecovery knowledge. The Quality Network
Veteran Mental Health Standards enabled the organisation to demonstrate its support while
also learning from processes and standards.
For this financial year, The Veteran Foundation helped to facilitate a peer review so that the
team could promote evidence-based psychological support for mental health-related
problems of varyingcomplexitysafely and confidently. The assurance that the organisation
meets the expected standards will be a great assetinapplying the standards toprovide
support for the individual.
We will continue to provide support to employers that support veterans, such as Gerrards
Haulage, Tarmac, and other organisations that employ veterans. Tarmac has supported Mode
Rehabilitation with a one-off charity donation. It offers employment for veterans and is
adjacent to Mode Rehabilitation for easy access to the drop-in facility. Forever Manchester.

## **26. Mode Rehabilitation Research**
We are proud of our innovative work in schools and Dr Annamarie Churchman, a trustee of Mode Rehabilitation, who carried out research into the practical application of our 'whole school approach' to supporting and addressing the needs of children, families and teaching staff in schools. The Mode Rehabilitation ‘single point of access’ support in schools is innovative mitigating risk and delays in treatment for young people seeking support within NHS, as well as local counselling services. Mode Rehabilitation, the University of Manchester, and Dr. A. Churchman came together to develop the research. The research by Annamaria Churchman produced six published research papers:https://www.researchgate.net/publication/334493964_A_schoolbased_feasibility_study_of_method_of_levels_a_novel_form_of_client-led_counselling.
## **27. MODE supports post-graduate training.**
The CEO is undergoing a PhD and majors in prolonged and enduring psychological distress, 12-step recovery and rehabilitation support. Our evidence-based work with the Armed Forces Community, vulnerable young people or children and adults in and outside of schools in collaboration with leading universities has led to research opportunities to evidence the work.

Further exploratory research has revealed public awareness of private and public sector mental health services, as well as an examination of the existing issues and objectives in military populations. The research for this will be announced shortly.
## **Summary**
Despite the extraordinary, unprecedented situation, the Mode team continued to deliver further Resilience to Life ‘Journey’ books (manual). The Journey manual’s ‘tool kit’ was adapted and disseminated to work with YP to anchor their thoughts. It also acted as a navigation tool to identify who they are and where they want to achieve and maintain important life goals.
Through unrestricted funding, we managed to purchase more books and deliver them to those accessing our support to reduce and mitigate the risk of harm and to ensure robust safeguarding processes are in place to ensure they keep young people safe from harm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf844dhBUE.
The judges of the awards 2021/22 said, “We are impressed with your team’s personal touch and community feel. It is extra special to know you are making a positive difference and I hope this achievement brings more success moving forward.”
We will continue supporting local people in our ambition to help young people across cultures who are diverse and have varying problems and complexities. We are committed to improving lives and providing services that generate resilient communities.
We look forward to 2022-2023 sharing about our latest collaborations and support networks for our NEW innovative Lakeside Project – we will explain – talk – introduce – acknowledge and commit to creating safe support following the highest standards we met in 2022 and accomplish our commitment to support more people in varying contexts.
