## Foreword
Welcome to our Annual Report for the 2023-24 financial year.
Our report details the activities, impacts and outcomes delivered by POINT, both with and on behalf of our members.
The report is designed to ensure that our members, volunteers, funders and partners have insights into the way in which POINT support and deliver our mission, apply our values and continue to aspire to delivering exceptional information, advice, support and co-production opportunities for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, their parents, carers and family members.
We hope you enjoy reading our report and seeing the impact that POINT has had; and continues to have on your behalf.
## Statement from our Chair of Trustees
A warm welcome to this years annual report!
It is widely acknowledged that systems for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities are complex, difficult to navigate and often feel at odds with the their purpose of increasing access to the vital support so many families need. This however is exactly why I remain proud to be the Chair Person of this fantastic charity, who in the face of adversity, financial constraints and an ever more demanding SEND system continue not only to champion change, represent voice and seek improvements, but a charity who also take responsibility for finding the solutions and implementing them.
This year saw one of our founding members receive an MBE in recognition of her unwavering contribution to the lives of children and young people with SEND. We are very fortunate to have a very dedicated, passionate team at POINT who don't just work in SEND but live it to alongside everyone of our members.
Derek Rhoden, Chair of Trustees
I am sure you will see for yourself when you read our report, just how much we have and continue to achieve at POINT on behalf of our members and I would like to say a massive Thank You on behalf of the whole team for your unwavering support.
## Oldham Parent Carer Forum
Oldham Parent Carer Forum are the independent voice of parents and carers in Oldham and are supported by POINT. Oldham Parent Carer Forum shares information, consults with families and champions co-production. The SEND & Inclusion Strategy 2023-2027 was designed and coproduced with families following our BIG SEND Survey. OFSTED/CQC said....
Local partnership leaders and parents and carers have coproduced a new and ambitious SEND and Inclusion strategy in collaboration with children and young people, education, health and social care partners.
The strategy is well thought out and reflective of the current needs within Oldham.
Oldham Parent Carer forum continue to develop their outreach and project work to ensure that more families can actively participate and become involved. We are a strategic lead in Autism in Schools Project and we attend sessions in the Family Hubs across Oldham.
“Whether it be a shoulder to cry on, someone to listen to or seek advice, you are always there. You are amazing advocates.”
The Parent Carer Forum has continued to secure funding to support our most vulnerable in our community. A successful bid through action together enabled us to support families with ever increasing living costs with winter clothing and support with food. Over 500 families have been supported. Our Sensory Toy Lending Library equipment has been extended and enhanced, removing barriers, enabling families to borrow equipment from us.
We have been successful in applying for grants where funding directly impacts families in Oldham. Oldham Parent Carer Forum staff and volunteers have continued to ensure that your voice is represented and heard and attend a variety of local, regional and national strategic workstreams. They are a partner in the Change Programme Partnership.

## SEND Information, Advice, Support Services (SENDIASS)
POINT are proud to operate both the Oldham and Blackpool SENDIAS Services. The SENDIASS services play a vital role in supporting children, young people and their families in accessing timely information, advice and support on all matters related to Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
“Would have been lost without this service. We are grateful for everything they supported us with.”
SEND is a very complex system. Parents, Carers, Children and Young people rely on the support of the Oldham and Blackpool SENDIAS Services and they constantly tell us how invaluable the support has been to help achieve improved outcomes for their children and young people.
96% of survey respondents stated that the Information, advice and support given had made a significant difference to their child or young persons outcomes.
It is essential that our teams have the capacity, skills and resources to deliver the right support at the right time. POINT continues to prioritise investment in our teams to ensure no family is left without the vital support they need and deserve.
In 2023-24 POINT increased our SENDIASS team to 7 staff members and invested over £2500 in workforce development
Intelligence gathered through the case work of SENDIASS supports the strategic work of POINT with our locality based SEND Partnership Boards. Data dashboards provide the evidence of key caseload themes, supporting the early identification of any emerging issues so that solutions can be found to support greater inclusion, access and support for children and young people with SEND.

## SEND Mediation and Disagreement Resolution
In 2023-24, POINT regained the commission to deliver the Oldham SEND Mediation and Disagreement Resolution contract and were also commissioned as part of the Knowsley Council Mediation framework.
92% increase in Mediation & Disagreement Resolution meetings
With rates of Mediation and Disagreement Resolution rising significantly, POINT made significant investments to recruit and train a dedicated full time mediator alongside 5 support mediators to secure sufficient capacity to meet the service demand.
- In 2023-24 POINT invested over £10,000 to recruit & train our Mediators to support families, children and young people.
Mediation and Disagreement Resolution Services provide access to a FREE locality based service which supports resolution of matters where a parent, carer or young person does not agree with a decision about their SEND provision. This is an essential service to support early resolution and where possible and appropriate, reduces the need for referrals to the SEND Tribunal Service.
- “I was made to feel comfortable and be open and be able to express my concerns”
Service user feedback for the service remains high. Evidence shows that attending and accessing our service has led to the swift resolution of disagreements which can also lead to improved ongoing relationships between children, young people, their families; and the practitioners who will continue to provide ongoing SEND Support.
Over 50% of mediations resulted in a change of position or decision.
This is a service that delivers against our missions to ensure that all children and young people with SEND are included with appropriate support and we are delighted to regain the opportunity to deliver and develop this service to meet the needs of our families.

## SEND Workshops and Training Service
Our SEND Workshops provision continues to provide supportive workshops for the parents and carers of children and young people who are either on a social communication pathway or have recently received a diagnosis of Autism /Autistic Spectrum Condition.
Workshops content is co-designed to ensure that it remains accessible to our families, In addition to our highly valued introduction to Autism sessions, we continue to deliver a varied range of workshops which provide an extensive toolkit of strategies around key themes such a behaviour, education, communication. Workshops remain FREE at the point of access to ensure equitable access.
The workshops that I attended was absolutely brilliant the way they were presented to us made me feel confident that I could do things at home with my child with confidence.
POINT are adamant that access to such provision should not be a postcode lottery. As a result we have commenced a development programme which includes a review of how POINT can extend reach of the service beyond the commissioned footprint of Oldham and how we can effectively support the wider Greater Manchester Neurodiversity pathways, work which will continue into 2024-25.
“Really informative session and a chance to offload your own stress.”
Service users continue to provide positive feedback about the training including the impacts this has had in supporting parents and carers to meet their child or young persons needs more effectively
“I can absolutely relate to everything mentioned and discussed during this session, I can now proceed to put these things in place and understand my child better”

## SEND Activities & Short Breaks
Our highly valued activities provision for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities provided an extensive range of activities throughout the 2023-24 financial year, seeing our best ever attendance recorded, enabling children and young people to be included in; and participate in every day social activities.
157 Children and Young People have accessed our activities programme with a further 269 accessing trips and events!
POINT have delivered the Ability Wheelz accessible cycling activity for 8 years under the Short Breaks Play and Leisure programme. In 2023 however the service underwent recommissioning and as a result, POINT are now the lead provider of all Short Breaks Play and Leisure Activities for children and young people with SEND. This is a significant change in the commissioning arrangements, seeing Oldham Council place their trust in POINT to deliver a programme that is both flexible and aligned to the needs of children and young people with SEND.
POINT worked with children, young people and their families to devise a new programme of activities, events, day trips and experiences, which have resulted in a significant increase in attendances. These activities not only support the inclusion of children and young people with SEND who are often isolated from mainstream activity, but also provide parents and carers with a valuable break from their caring responsibilities.
“ Our Son really enjoyed the activities. The 4D cinema experience was amazing! Point staff very friendly and helpful”
POINT continue to focus on positive outcomes from our activities programme and our new steering group, driven you young people’s voice will ensure we consistently reflect upon the programme, continuing to be flexible in our delivery to ensure it meets the needs of Oldham residents.

## **REPORT TO THE MEMBERS ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF Parents of Oldham in Touch (POINT)**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024 set out on pages 4 to 12.
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
The charity’s trustees consider an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the 2011 Act, and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility as independent examiner to:
- ~ examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
- ~ follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and;
- ~ to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
## **Basis of Independent Examiners Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the Directions given 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 of 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
## **Independent Examiners Statement**
I have completed my examination for the year ended 31 March 2024.
I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- ~ accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act or
- ~ the accounts do not accord with the accounting records to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
- ~ the accounts 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 (FRS102)].
I have no concerns and 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.
## **Independent Examiners Qualification**
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination, being a Fellow Member of the Association of Accounting Technicians, which is one of the listed bodies.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of accounting**
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘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 January 2022].

## **Going Concern**
The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue.
## **Incoming resources**
All income, including grants and donations, is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income. It is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Restricted funds are to be used for specified purposes as laid down by the donor.
Expenditure which meets these criteria’s is identified to the fund, together with a fair allocation of overheads and support costs. Unrestricted funds are for grants, donations and other incoming resources received or generated for charitable purposes.
## **Resources expended**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to applicable expenditure headings.
Charitable expenditure shall include all expenditure directly related to the objects of the charity, including the cost of goods and services, that have been incurred in charitable activities.
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount for the obligation can be measured reliably.
## **Governance costs**
Governance costs shall include all expenditure directly related to the administration of the charity including expenditure incurred in the management of the charity's assets, organisational administration and compliance with charitable and statutory requirements.
## **Fixed assets**
Fixed assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £1,000 for;
- ~ Events & Activities Equipment
- ~ Office Furniture & Equipment
- ~ IT & Computer Equipment
They are initially recorded at cost, and depreciated on a straight line basis over the life expectancy of the asset.
