maintain our service without interruption and have offered practical
advice, support, and advocacy services to more than 200 families and
friends bereaved as a result of killings by people with mental illness.
We have offered affected families specialist guidance and information on
the criminal justice, health service and other investigation processes.
We have facilitated contacts, accompanied families to meetings and
advocated for them during NHS local and independent investigations,
Serious Case Reviews, Domestic Homicide Reviews, and other
investigations. We have accompanied and supported families at court
hearings and coroner’s inquests.
We arranged meetings for families to meet others who have all been
similarly bereaved to offer ‘peer to peer’ emotional support and advice.
We have provided effective media support to families both during legal
proceedings, Inquests, and on publication of Independent Investigation
Reports
We have worked with the NHS at national, regional, and local level to
advise on the impact and extent of mental health homicides, helped
write national and local policy guidance and been appointed to various
NHS oversight organisations to assist in securing improvements in
learning, practice and performance.
We have worked successfully with the Ministry of Justice on securing
improvements for victims’ families in consultations on the Victims Code
and new Victim’s Law. We have worked with the Victims’ Commissioner
and the Ministry of Justice to secure better access for the families we
support to Judges’ sentencing remarks. We have also been involved in
consultations and raised concerns about on review of the Mental Health
Act
We have been invited to work with the Welsh Government on designing
the new process for Serious Incident Investigations in Wales.
In Northern Ireland we have been instrumental in the appointment of a
Victims Commissioner in Northern Ireland and in proposals to radically
improve serious incident investigations following Mental health related
homicides.|

We have promoted the interests and needs of victims of mental health homicides in the national and local TV, radio and print media as well as actively on social media.

**Independent examiner's report on the accounts**
**Section A Independent Examiner’s Report**
**Report to the trustees/** HUNDRED FAMILIES **members of On accounts for the year** 31 MARCH 2022 **Charity no** 1161287 **ended (if any) Set out on pages** 1 - 8
**Respective** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. **responsibilities of** The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year **trustees and examiner** under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- • to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
- **Basis of independent** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given **examiner’s statement** by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
**Independent** In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my **examiner's statement** attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or
- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
