for the Year Ended 31 March 2023 

## Report of the Trustees 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

Our charity's purpose, as laid out in our constitution, is as follows: 

'The promotion of social inclusion for the public benefit among children and young people of prisoners who are socially excluded on the grounds of their social and economic position.This includes: mentoring support and guidance for children, young people and their families, advocacy and partnership working'. 

The aims of the charity are to improve outcomes for children impacted by parental imprisonment, raise awareness and public empathy surrounding the issues this group of young people face, and break the cycle of intergenerational offending. Our aims fully reflect the purposes that the charity was set up to further.

Report of the Trustees 

for the Year Ended 31 March 2023 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Significant activities** 

Our main objectives for the year continued to be the promotion of the social inclusion of children impacted by  parental imprisonment. The strategies we used to meet these objectives included: 

" Providing a range of tailored support services to ensure children, young people, and their families, affected by  parental imprisonment can access appropriate and timely support during an incredibly difficult time in their lives. " Formalising our learning surrounding the experiences of children to build a strong evidence base for research-led policy. 

" Raising awareness regarding the experiences of children with a parent in prison to influence social attitudes and  reduce feelings of stigma, shame and social isolation. 

" To influence key-policy makers to effect systemic policy change, so that there is a national statutory framework of identification and support for children with a parent in prison. 

## Ensuring our work delivers our aims 

Our primary beneficiaries are children aged 0-18 impacted by parental imprisonment. We currently have an active caseload of 308 children and 161 parents/carers. We offer face-to-face support to children living in the Thames Valley area and the West Midlands, as well as online support to children living in other areas across England and Wales. 

The trustees have taken regard of the guidance issued by the Charity Commissioners on public benefit. The main activities undertaken include the provision of 1:1 support with trained practitioners, facilitating group work for children with a parent in prison, and providing volunteer mentoring for children. These activities, among others, and the achievements that flow from our work are described below. 

## Providing 1:1 Support 

We provide intensive weekly one to one support for children with a parent in prison. Sessions provide an opportunity  for the child to talk about their feelings relating to having a parent in prison, help them to develop strategies to manage  those difficult feelings and to help children understand the process of imprisonment by covering each stage of the custodial sentence. We have developed a workbook for children to complete with their worker which takes them through these stages, and ends by looking to the future and encouraging children to think about what they want to achieve, where  they want to be in 10 years and the steps, they need to take to make it a reality This is designed to instil a lasting positive self-image that empowers a young person to choose a different path to the offending parent. We also use Drawing and Talking sessions with young people, which is a non-intrusive and attachment-based therapeutic intervention that allows the child to find a symbolic resolution to conflicts and for their trauma to begin to heal. 

## Our 1:1 support focuses on: 

" Capturing the voice of the child - demonstrated in early stages of the workbook 

" Taking a child-focused and strength-based approach that reminds children of positive influences: safety, who they  can turn to for support. 

" Fostering a greater sense of self, sense of purpose and sense of belonging, ensuring that children can believe that  they can achieve and aren't defined by their parent's offence. 

" Recognising the complexity and breadth of lived experiences, as no two children are the same - adapting support accordingly. 

" Providing a safe space to discuss the absent parent. This may be a topic that a child feels they are not able to discuss with their own family 

" Tailoring our approach to the individual needs of the child, taking into account their experiences, strengths and interests to make sure they receive the full benefit of our support. 

## Group Work for Children 

We provide peer support work and group work for children with a parent in prison. These sessions combat feelings of shame by showing children that they are not alone. In group activities, our qualified practitioners use creative activities to help young people explore complex emotions in accessible and indirect ways. By speaking with other young people, children are able to share coping strategies and manage complex emotions surrounding their parent's imprisonment. This improves the emotional wellbeing of children who attend, allowing them to maximise their own potential in other areas. 

## Parental Peer Support Groups

Report of the Trustees 

for the Year Ended 31 March 2023 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

Our support offer is constantly adapting to the needs of the families we support. We provide parental groups for adults caring for children with a parent in prison. These groups, facilitated by trained practitioners provide a support network practitioner where families can share experiences, understand they are not alone, and develop skills to support their children in a safe environment. 

## Volunteer Mentoring 

A Children Heard and Seen mentor is a caring and responsible adult volunteer who, in partnership with a child, develops a trusting relationship through which the child can seek and receive support and guidance. A volunteer mentor helps  to ensure that a child has the opportunity to try new things, access resources, develop resilience, coping strategies and life skills to help the child make sense of their situation and feelings in order that they are able to make positive life  choices and maximize their potential. 

## Volunteer mentors aim to provide: 

" A neutral and consistent person outside of the family home to talk about feelings. 

" A respectful relationship - both mentor and mentee, prior to matching, agree to boundaries how the relationship will look. 

For more information about our work this year, please view our latest Impact Report, available here. 

## Contributions Made by Volunteers 

This year, our service benefitted from the support of more volunteers than ever before. The work of volunteers forms a key pillar of our ability to effect positive change in the lives of young people, be it through our volunteer mentor scheme or through facilitating online groups and activities, providing admin and data support, and much more. This reporting year, volunteers contributed 2256 combined total volunteering hours. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty under the Charities Act 2011 to have regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. The Trustees believe that all of the charity's activities  furthered its charitable purposes for the public benefit.

## **STRATEGIC REPORT** 

## **Achievement and performance** 

## **Charitable activities** 

"Before I had support from Children Heard and Seen I felt trapped, lonely and like I had no one to express my feelings to. My friend's dad said that she shouldn't associate with me because my dad was in prison and it made me feel very upset because I am not my dad. I didn't make any of the mistakes he did. Since being with Children Heard and Seen I have recognised the fact that it's not my fault. They've helped me understand and process the way I feel in a supportive way where it's positive and not negative. I wish there was something in place for other children up and down the  country who are going through what I was going through." - Lucy (aged 17) 

Nationally speaking, research suggests 65% of boys with a parent in prison go on to offend. However, this is not a predetermined outcome for children with a parent in prison. Through offering trauma-informed support tailored to the needs and circumstances of each child, we can break the cycle of intergenerational offending and achieve better outcomes for children and their families. Of the 860+ children we have supported since inception, only four have gone on to commit an offence - a rate of just 0.5%. 

In April, Children Heard and Seen won the Directors Special Award at the Kids Count Inspiration Awards at Westminster. The awards recognise groups who have done great things to inspire young people in their own communities, against all odds. Our Founder and CEO, Sarah Burrows, also won the Community Impact - Fundraiser award at the Thames Valley Criminal Justice Charity Awards. 

## Additional Information 

## Operation Paramount 

Previously there has been no statutory mechanism to identify children with a parent in prison. Operation Paramount is a ground-breaking initiative in partnership with the Thames Valley Violence Reduction Unit. For the first time ever, data from the Prisons Service Database is being used to identify children left behind when their parent is sent to prison. Each month, the Thames Valley VRU uses a data sharing platform to run an assessment on those sent 1 to prison who have a link to a child in the region. The identified families are contacted by a local Police Officer to arrange a voluntary  welfare visit. During this visit, the nature of our support is explained, and our tailored package of support is offered to the family in question. In November 2021, Operation Paramount was launched as a pilot project in Oxfordshire. In February  2023, the project expanded across the Thames Valley region and is now live in Oxfordshire, Milton Keynes,  Buckinghamshire and West Berkshire. From November 2021 - March 2023, Operation Paramount identified 502 children recently affected by parental imprisonment living in the Thames Valley region. 

Operation Paramount has been replicated and the model of identification and support is currently active in the West Midlands. We have also been commissioned by the South Wales Violence Prevention Unit and Cornwall Violence Reduction Unit to deliver training to professionals working with children impacted by parental imprisonment, so that they can offer support under the same model. This represents steps towards a much-needed national framework of identification and support for children with a parent in prison. 

## Summer Residential 

This year's Summer Residential at Hill End was our largest yet, with 194 family members attending, from as far as Bournemouth, Darlington and Devon. The weekend provided an opportunity for children to take part in activities that build their self-confidence, raise their aspirations, and celebrate their skills and achievements surrounded by others who are sharing their experience. Many who attended had taken part in our Penpal scheme, meaning that they were able to meet and connect with their new friends in person for the first time. 

One of the highlights the weekend was a visit from two Police Officers. They spoke to our young people to show them that they can achieve anything that they want to. For many children, their only previous experience of Police Officers  is the arrest of their parent, and it is a great opportunity to show the Police Force in a different, more positive light. 

## BBC Radio 4's All in the Mind 

In June 2022 members of our team and a parent we support were invited onto BBC Radio 4's 'All in the Mind' to discuss support for children who have a parent jailed for sexual offences, and the lack of government support for these families in need. We were able to raise awareness on the impact on families when the father is convicted of a sexual offence, an area with huge levels of stigma attached, leading to a large number of referrals to Children Heard and Seen from  families affected by this offence. 

Accredited Training Packages 

Page 4 



Children Heard and Seen 

## Report of the Trustees 

## for the Year Ended 31 March 2023 

We have developed three CPD-accredited training programmes. Over the reporting year, we delivered training on parental imprisonment to professionals in South Wales and Nottingham. We are currently offering; Introduction to Parental Imprisonment, Children Heard and Seen Workbook Training that equips practitioners to use our workbook  with children, and Safeguarding Children Impacted by Parental Imprisonment - our latest programme to be accredited. Developing our training arm provides self-generating source of income for the charity and helps to make us sustainable. We have also recently secured funding to recruit a trainer to the team and will continue to develop additional training packages, specifically on the topic of supporting families affected by domestic abuse and children whose parent is serving a sentence for a sexual offence. 

## Family Blogs 

One of our core aims is to raise awareness around parental imprisonment by amplifying the hidden voices of those affected. The aim is to encourage others with similar experiences to share their story, and in turn help to reduce the stigma associated with having a parent in prison. We hope this increased awareness of the harms of parental imprisonment will elevate the issue amongst MPs, Ministers and other key-policy makers. We have two series of  family blogs: 

Hidden Voices: A series created by adults with lived experience of parental imprisonment. By sharing these hidden voices, we hope to show how the impacts of parental imprisonment can stay with people well into adulthood, whilst also highlighting the positive things young people can go on to achieve. 

Parent's Story: A series created by those caring for children with a parent in prison that we have supported. The series aims to shine a light on the harms experienced by children and families when a parent goes to prison and highlight the benefits that providing good support can bring. 

## Parental Imprisonment Practitioners Network 

The Parental Imprisonment Practitioner Network was launched in April 2022, and met four times throughout the year. The network brings together practitioners and other professionals working for an organisation that is a touchpoint for children impacted by parental imprisonment. We have covered issues like visits, social care and contact from the point of view of the child. Our aim is to discuss good practice, knowledge and learning, sharing our voices with decision-makers able to improve the situation for children impacted by parental imprisonment.

## **STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review** 

## **Principal funding sources** 

Our work is unique, and as such, we do not fit into most conventional funding streams. We are reliant on innovative funders that can understand the impact of parental imprisonment on children. We are so grateful to all of our supporters for their continued generosity, and we are committed to ensuring our income is used effectively and responsibly. This year, we have been so lucky to be supported by such a wide range of fantastic donors, including these donors, who contributed in excess of £500. Anonymous donors are greatly appreciated, but have not been named below: 

Thames Valley Violence Reduction Unit    The Funding Network West Midlands Violence Reduction Unit    Criseren Foundation Paul Hamlyn Foundation     Essex Community Foundation Esmée Fairbairn Foundation     Swire Charitable Trust Network for Social Change     Berkshire Community Foundation Leathersellers' Company Charitable Fund   Kelly Family Charitable Trust Garfield Weston Foundation     Childrensalon Trusthouse Charitable Foundation    EF Bulmer Trust The Dulverton Trust      Grocers' Hall Ennismore Foundation      Englefield Charitable Trust Rothschild Foundation      Leeds Building Society Stanton Ballard       Funderbirds Visual Education      Duncan Robertson Michael Peagram      John Beard Simon Wolfson       Sara Murray C L Loyd       Savills Hugo Brunner       Joanna Simpson Foundation Ian Laing       Angela Crean Lucy Group       Oxfordshire Community Foundation Chris Miles       Hugo Llewelyn Richard Liwicki       Kate Venables Mary Saunders       Katherine Wickens Ellie Fitzgerald       Anson Charitable Trust Max Fitzgerald       HMP Doncaster Hugh Lowther       HMP Oakwood Guinness       Bartle Family Trust Provincial Grand Lodge of Durham    Hemby Trust 

## **Reserves policy** 

Children Heard and Seen maintains reserves to ensure sufficient funds to discharge its responsibilities to employees, including any cover for unforeseen events such as prolonged sickness or redundancy. Income from grants and donations may be received ahead of the project to which they are applied and may cause reserves to rise at certain points in time.The charity aims for a minimum of six months running costs in reserves, plus a small contingency, subject to project funding, held in specific identified accounts. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees are confident of the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future. 

## **Principal risks and uncertainties** 

- 1) Referrals may exceed the capacity of the charity. 

- 2) Funding opportunities may be limited. 

- 3) Current staffing levels may not be able to be maintained. 

- 4) Securing significant funding creates additional reporting requirements which create increased responsibilities for the 

- CEO and the Board of Trustees.

## **STRATEGIC REPORT** 

## **Future plans** 

Following the readjustment post pandemic, the next twelve months will be a period of resettlement for the charity.  There will not be any significant upscaling with the focus being on successfully securing funding for additional specialist work and establishing the training arm of Children Heard and Seen. The learning to be achieved via specialist interventions will provide evidence-based foundations on which to grow the charity. The training offer will be increased as a means  of sharing good practice and generating income for the charity. A mixed model of delivery where the charity influences practice amongst professionals across the country, whilst growing its presence in additional geographic areas will allow for steady growth beginning in mid- 2023. Any change in policy that increases awareness and support for children impacted by parental imprisonment will be responded to by the charity, until this point lobbying of decision makers  will continue. The charity has grown steadily since its inception and it is key to any future development that the children centred, whole family approach is maintained at the core of the charity. There is no desire for immediate upscaling, whilst the charity responded to the pandemic and met the needs of children nationally it would be a significant risk to expand without the full evidence base being in place, with all specialist staff in place and the charity will be better  placed for continued growth. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** 

The organisation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), registered on 16th of July 2014. The charity was established under a constitution which established the objects and powers of the CIO. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
