All aspects of the project’s delivery were made possible via our recruitment and retention of experienced and capable admin, project 

Options 4 Change **Trustees Report 2020 -2021                                                            Page | 4** 



workers and management staff who worked alongside a range of contractors, partners, charities, legal, statutory and voluntary support services. 

Staff were required to and received the necessary support to undertake their responsibilities working from home and virtually for most of the period. This presented numerous challenges that were overcome with an “all hands-on deck” approach to ensure that both staff and service users were given the support needed during a very difficult period impacted by the lockdown and the statutory requirements. 

Staff were supported and trained to, 

- Undertake telephone instead of face-to-face assessments 

- Facilitate workshops virtually 

- Work with our contractors to review, develop and redesign training and personal development tools including the Pathway Manual. 

- Work remotely and be able to access the help and support they need to undertake their responsibilities. 

- Increase our volunteers and contractors’ appointments to reach service users and provide them with development and crisis intervention services. 

- Extend community partnerships to include food banks, outreach and community hubs for essential client contact. 

- Work from home with the provision of the communication, hard and software equipment needed for them to effectively undertake their responsibilities. 

- Adapt to working from home and manage the challenges of not having peer support to undertake some aspects of work where there was previously immediate peer support. 

We were able to sustain most of our staff however recruitment projects were  particularly  difficult  because  of  the  lockdown  and  mandatory requirements, than planned in the last year due to the significant impact of  staff  vacancies  and  the  Covid-19  pandemic.  While  some  of  our objectives did not rely on additional staff, those that did restricted our ability to expand our current programmes. 

## **2. VALUES AND WAYS OF WORKING** 

Our values are equally important in reviewing our progress and in setting future targets. We listened to the voices of CYP and their families and ensured that their views and preferences are evidenced in our project models and ways we deliver our services to them. 

We have continued to deliver,
