**International Association for Forensic Psychotherapy Ltd**
## **Objectives and Activities**
_Summary of the purposes of the charity:_
The International Association for Forensic Psychotherapy (IAFP) promotes the mental health of offenders and victims through the use of psychotherapeutic understanding, risk assessment, and treatment techniques and advances understanding about forensic psychotherapeutic practice.
## **Summary of the main activities:**
The IAFP’s main activities include:
- developing educational programs around the world for mental health practitioners, the public, and offenders to enhance their understanding of the principles and practice of forensic psychotherapy
. publishing and disseminating new scholarly articles about forensic psychotherapy
- maintaining a database of knowledge about forensic psychotherapy, including a website available to the public
- using knowledge about the principles and practice of forensic psychotherapy to inform policy decisions
- encouraging collaborations between practitioners and agencies working with offenders internationally
## **Statement confirming regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission:**
All of the IAFP’s trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
## **Achievements and Performance**
**Summary of the main achievements - chronologically:**
In the past year, (May 2020 - July 2021) the IAFP accomplished the following goals:
(1) The IAFP held its 29th annual conference on 22[nd] – 24[th] April 2021. Instead of being held in the beautiful city of Bilbao in 2020, due to the Covid Pandemic, the conference was rescheduled for April 2021 but alas, the pandemic meant that this conference was held on zoom. There were nevertheless over 100 practitioners from different disciplines, including psychotherapy, law, social psychology as well as students and individuals interested in psychodynamic thinking. The educational programme focused on the theme of “Gendercide – Gender Divide in Forensic Psychotherapy”, themes that tragically became once more so prominent in this new century of worsening inequalities, wars, human rights abuses and a rise in violence during lockdowns, particularly towards women and children.
(2) The Gill Mc Gauley Prize, created by the IAFP in the of memory of our cherished colleague Gill, and which honours outstanding contributions to the IAFP annual conference by a trainee or newcomer to the field of forensic psychotherapy was awarded jointly to two presenters – James Rymer and Dr Hessel Willemsen for their papers entitled "Gendercide - Gender Divide and the body; The art of Francis Bacon as a point of reference to Gendercide” and “Trans, truth and the reinterpreted past: a child’s experience of living in two families” respectively.
(3) The IAFP created the Alan Corbett Memorial Lecture, an annual presentation to honour Mr. Corbett’s ground-breaking work with individuals with developmental disabilities. The 2021 Alan Corbett Lecture was presented at the 29[th] IAFP conference by Dr Emma Went.
(4) The IAFP was thrilled to be able to launch its new journal, the International Journal for Forensic Psychotherapy, at the London IPA Congress in July 2019. There have continued to be two issues every year and all are encouraged to submit papers and encourage colleagues to do so. Volume 3 Issue 1 will be dedicated to papers from this conference.
5) The IAFP sponsored annual one-day seminars have been held twice via zoom webinars in this last year. One was entitled Domestic Violence during Lockdown (4[th] July 2020) and one was entitled Kill or be Killed: Living in Fear also a webinar held on 7[th] November 2020. Both webinars were well attended with lively enriching discussions around the themes and papers presented..
(6) The IAFP continued to update its website, www.forensicpsychotherapy.org, that includes a database of scholarly articles related to forensic psychotherapy, for the benefit of practitioners, trainees, and the public. Thanks are due to Barbara Jacobs.
(7) The IAFP started a regular newsletter for members in 2018 and members are encouraged to contact Barbara Jacobs with information for the newsletter.
(8) The IAFP continues its affiliation with the Italian Association for Forensic Psychotherapy (SIPFo) and the German Association for Forensic Psychotherapy. We were delighted to have confirmed the inauguration of the Australian Forensic Psychotherapy Society. Within the UK, links are being forged as the Forensic Psychotherapy Society, within the BPC, develops. In addition, the organization aims to further strengthen links with interested parties in Australia, Russia, Austria, to help develop national forensic psychotherapy organizations in those countries.
(9) A working party was formed in September 2020 to develop an international online training in Forensic Psychotherapy. The successful Russian Course and the planned UK FPS course will be helpful templates for the development of this course. Our plan is to establish a theoretical one year course and subsequently a clinical course and we are seeking accreditation.
## **Financial Review**
The Charity has a reserves policy to hold 3 months costs in reserves to enable the Charity to cover costs and obligations in the event of business closure. At 31 March 2021 the charity had unrestricted reserves of £30,276 which equates to over 2 years of average monthly costs.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
Type of governing document:
The IAFP is governed by a Constitution & By-Laws (revised April 2012).
How is the charity constituted?
The IAFP is a private company limited by guarantee.
Trustee selection:
The IAFP appointed each of its officers (President, Honorary Life President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Vice President) to be trustees of the charity. Nominees for these positions (except Honorary Life President) are solicited from the IAFP membership on an annual basis, and elections are then held at the Annual General Meeting. Officers must be members of the IAFP and are elected to three-year terms.
For banking purposes, we agreed that future treasurers need to be UK based.

TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR FORENSIC PSYCHOTHERAPY LTD FOR THE YEAR ENDED : 31st March 2022
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT**
I report on the accounts of the trust for the year ended 31st March 2021 attached.
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
As the Charity’s Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider the audit requirement of Section 43(2) of the Charities act 1993 (the Act) does not apply and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 43(3)(a) of the Act and to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all of the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
## **Independent Examiner’s Statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
- (a) to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 41 of the Act; and
(b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met
have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
