The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). ## **Objectives and Activities** In this report the Trustees of Changing Pathways look at what the Charity has achieved and the outcomes of our work between April 2021 and March 2022. This report reviews our progress: - towards achieving our vision of a world in which all can live fulfilled lives free from domestic abuse - towards achieving our mission in pursuit of this vision to help each individual find their pathway out of a life of domestic abuse and change their future for the better, - by identifying the key aims and objectives that we have worked towards and how successful Changing Pathways has been in focusing activity on the pursuance of our charitable objects, namely: ‘To relieve the needs of persons who are victims of, or in fear of, domestic violence and/or abuse in Essex and surrounding areas in particular but not exclusively, by providing refuge, counselling and practical support for victims of domestic violence, raising public awareness of domestic abuse issues; and in such other ways as the trustees may from time to time decide.’ The Trustees have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives and in planning how our activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set. This is supported by a performance monitoring and reporting system and an annual consultation programme for staff and clients. ## **Beneficiaries of our Services** During 2021-22, the Charity has continued to deliver specialist support to survivors of domestic abuse, covering South and West Essex which comes under the remit of Essex County Council and the Borough Councils of Basildon, Brentwood, Castle Point, the District Councils of Epping Forest, Harlow and Rochford, and the Unitary Authority of Thurrock. We strive to provide responsive and high-quality support to survivors of the broadest definition of domestic abuse including stalking and harassment, ‘honour-based’ abuse and forced marriage and all other forms of violence against women and girls. We take a strength-based approach to our support, working with survivors to empower them to choose a different pathway, one that enables them to live their lives free from fear and abuse. ## **Covid 19** As we adjusted throughout the global pandemic we learnt from our data that domestic abuse was in a state of flux; our usual peaks and troughs were disturbed and where we saw a sudden decrease in referrals early on, this was followed by a rapid and significant increase soon after. Throughout Summer 2021-2022 our numbers stayed high. Working from home and restrictions on face to face contact were challenging for practitioners and clients as they adapted to connecting remotely, always having safety at the forefront of their thinking. For some of our clients the ‘new normal’ remote way of receiving support was comfortable, but for some, however, this would not have been their preference. Our refuge accommodation remained open with the appropriate safety measures and support from Public Health where there were instances of Covid in our residential communities. As time rolled on and we became clearer about how we could manage our work and Covid, we were able to re-introduce face to face contact in line with risk assessing the overall situation. 1 ## **CHANGING PATHWAYS TRUSTEES’ REPORT** ## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31st MARCH 2022**_ ## **Statistics** In 2021-22, Changing Pathways reached a total of 2,062 survivors of domestic abuse, providing both telephone and face to face support. The total number of survivors reached in 2021-22 represents a slight decrease on 2020-21 where Changing Pathways reached 2,153 survivors. Domestic abuse has a devastating impact on all communities. However, as reflected in the gendered nature of domestic abuse, the majority of survivors we supported were female. Reflecting the changing local community profile, the number of clients accessing our BAME service has increases by 28% from 92 in 2021 to 118 in 2022 15% of clients were from BAME (Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic) communities. 34% of clients reported being disabled with 22% of disabled survivors reporting having more than one disability. 26% had a mental health disability. Across all of our services 32% (434) were victims of surveillance/harassment/stalking types of abuse. 56 of these victims were open to our Stalking and Harassment service. We received 108 referrals for our refuge services, a decrease of 13 referrals on the previous year with 74 being offered a place in one of our temporary bed spaces. In total, the number of survivors of domestic abuse that we accommodated was slightly higher with 108 women and 142 children in our refuges and they stayed on average for 7.27months, which is one month shorter than the previous year. Women who stayed in the refuge were supported to achieve positive outcomes for their family, with 71% securing a safe move-on option and 98% of residents reporting an increase in confidence in asking for help and 100% reporting feeling better able to recognise abusive behaviour. 90% stated that they understand more about the impact of abuse on their child / children. 91% had an improvement in their support networks. Across all our services 96% of survivors reported feeling better able to recognise abusive behaviour and 95% feel they understand more about the impact of abuse on my child/children. The service continues to feel the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, this is mainly due to the backlog in Crown Court, which currently has a delay of up to two years. Anecdotally the staff have noted a significant in complex cases that involve drug and/or alcohol and mental health, however other support services are struggling to meet the increased demand. As always, we sought to keep our clients at the heart of everything we do and took this opportunity to re-model our therapeutic interventions moving us to a trauma informed approach to our work. New developments include a suite of psycho-educational videos, dialectical behavioural therapeutic groups and training for staff in Motivational Interviewing (a technique to support clients in working with change). ## **Our Achievements and Performance through 2021/2022** ## **1 - Improve service offer for women experiencing multiple disadvantage and those accessing health services.** Our IDVA work at Basildon and Thurrock University Hospital continued throughout Covid 19 and both National and Local lockdowns, and we successfully secured funding increasing our staffing levels to two full time practitioners. Through 2021--2022 the EDAPP service supported 38% more people compared to the previous year. We have continued to deliver specific services for victims of stalking, sustaining levels of funding. 2 ## **CHANGING PATHWAYS TRUSTEES’ REPORT** ## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31st MARCH 2022**_ ## **2 - Ensure our services promote and reflect increased equality and diversity and hidden harms.** Throughout 2021-22 we continued to build on the work we undertook in 2019 to help us develop our understanding around all issues of Equality and Diversity and set our intentions in prioritising this area of work. We have improved our analysis of equality and diversity data across the organisation and have set our intention to feature this as a key headline in the 2022 – 2025 strategic plan. Our specialist BAME service has expanded and funding is more secure. Our service experienced a 16% increase in referrals from the previous year. Since 2018-19 the number of clients accessing the service has grown by 116% Via the Inclusivity Panel we continue to consider how best the organisation can meet the needs of the LGBTQ+ survivors of domestic abuse and explore partnerships to increase accessibility for this group. The inclusivity work is practitioner-led and is a place for us to explore best practice and check new developments in our work against our equality and diversity expectations. ## **3 - Expand our service offer for children and young people.** We have achieved a lot in this area of our planned work despite the challenges that the pandemic brought in terms of accessing training. The addition of our Children and Families’ Lead, a senior practitioner post, enabled us to make significant inroads in planned developments, affording us the capacity to introduce working with the children in a trauma informed way using the trauma animals developed by The Beacon House Trust. Introducing the Incredible Years Programme to our offer for families has enabled mothers to understand how the abuse has affected their children and how this is displayed through the children’s behaviour, giving them the tools and strategies to use to decrease these challenging behaviours. We continue to deliver the Helping Hands Programme for children. ## **4 - Develop specialist interventions in trauma informed work, group work and training to aid recovery.** We spent significant time during the year to fully remodel our therapeutic interventions for both adults and children as we commit to establishing ourselves as a trauma informed service. We have developed a suite of psycho-educational videos that our clients will be able to work through with their case worker to support them in understanding the impact of the trauma they have experienced may have had. We have developed a dialectical behaviour therapeutic-based programme which addresses things like increasing distress tolerance and emotional regulation as well as some mindfulness practice. Building upon some of the training sessions we had in place, we now have a full suite of off the shelf training options that we have been able to deliver to key partners. We have worked with a number of agencies including Essex Police, Epping Forest District Council and Thurrock L.A. to deliver these training sessions using remote platforms throughout the pandemic. Not only has this helped increase the domestic abuse knowledge base across all partners but it has also supported our partnership working, raising our profile and clarifying referral mechanisms. ## **5 – Provide the highest quality services to survivors of domestic abuse through an employee development and succession programme.** Changing Pathways is fully committed to continuing professional development and we very much want to establish a sustainable mechanism for welcoming new staff into our team, ensuring they are supported and challenged in their learning and fully embedding CPD into our culture and practice. With this in mind we have developed a Core Competency Framework which sets out induction plans and key performance indicators for employees ensuring they are aligned to the organisational vision and values. Going forward we will be able to 3 ## **CHANGING PATHWAYS TRUSTEES’ REPORT** ## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31st MARCH 2022**_ conduct appraisals and set training plans and objectives using this framework. During the year of 2021 we developed our DAP staff with the introduction of VQAS training. We have continued with our training for Independent Domestic Violence Advisors through the 2021-2022 year. ## **6 - Develop a pathway to client involvement and set out the organisations approach to full involvement across all aspects of the organisation** This has been a challenging area for Changing Pathways in terms of delivering through a pandemic year where face to face contact has been significantly limited by government guidelines in relation to working safely with Covid 19. We have been able to establish focus groups for both our clients and practitioners so we have forums where we can consult where needed. ## **Plans for the Future – Strategic Plan April 1[st] 2022 to March 31[st] 2025** We continue to work on, and have begun to implement our strategic plan. Working inclusively with all colleagues is informed by the Changing Pathways culture and our commitment to empowering each other. As a result, a number of headline areas emerged, to form the Strategic Plan 2022 to 2025, as follows: - To invest and develop our workforce. - To increase Financial Resilience. - To improve the management of our assets. - To develop our presence in the West of the county. - To fully embed our Equality and Diversity commitment across the organisation. - To develop our social media presence across multiple platforms. ## **Financial Review** In 21-22 the DA Bill was fully enacted, the main area of focus on this was that children were seen as victims within their own right. This provided an increase in funding to DA organisations to recognise this. Changing Pathways successfully bid for further funding to ensure that the Local Authorities Statutory duty was met and that the programme for children was funded appropriately. This funded has continued into 22-23 with a view of a tender process after that date The significance in increase funding and better awareness has also meant that staff recruitment and retention was problematic, this is expected to be further impacted by the cost of living crisis. ## **Reserves Policy** Changing Pathways has two types of funds as follows: Restricted funds - Funding received from donors for specific purposes; - Restriction by activity or geographical region; - These funds are ring-fenced for specified purposes and, therefore, do not form part of available reserves; - Unrestricted funds - Funding received that are available for any purpose and anywhere; - These include designated funds; Reserves are represented by unrestricted funds (excluding designated funds) less tangible fixed assets. The level of reserves required have been set at three to six months of non-charitable activity costs. Charitable activity costs have been excluded from these calculations for the following reasons: - Non-core charitable activities will only be carried out for the duration that funding is available;  Designated funds have been created to support core charitable activities (e.g. refuges) The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop of funding, they will be able to continue the Charity’s current activities whilst consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. 4 ## **CHANGING PATHWAYS TRUSTEES’ REPORT** ## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31st MARCH 2022**_ To assist the Charity in meeting its charitable objectives in the future, a number of designated funds have been created. The Capital reserve was set up to finance the continuous replacement of a minibus which is central to the day to day running of the Charity's functions. This reserve is maintained at approximately the value of the current vehicle plus cash reserve necessary to replace which is currently £22,107 The Rent Reserve is a condition of the property lease and holds at least two months’ worth of operating costs which will be used to meet rental commitments should incoming resources and general-purpose funds not be sufficient. The Board have decided that this fund should be maintained at £100,000. The Contingency fund was set up to help meet any unforeseen expenses and has been set at not less than £15,000 by Trustees and it is currently at £16,655. The available funds in the reserves at the year-end were £1,538,033. Included within the available funds are restricted funds of £475,000. ## **Risks** There are risk registers in place to cover both the organisational risks and those risks associated with the larger EIDAS contract. These are reviewed at the Board meetings. ## **Review of Financial Position** Changing Pathways holds a reasonable financial position. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** Governing Document - The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee and registered as a Charity.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guaianlee that an audit conducted in accordancé with ISAS {UKI will aknays delecl a matprial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can aTise Irom fraud or error and are considered maleiial il, Individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be exp8cted lo influence the economic decisions of users lakèn on the basls ol these financial statements. The ttxtenl lo whlch our pr0¢8dures are capable of deléctin9 irregularilles, indudlng fraud, is detall8d below. Capabillty of the audit in detectlrtg lttegularity, including fraud We idenlifiod areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected lo have a material effe¢1 on the financial slalemenls from our.. general commercial and sector experien￿., through verbal and written communications with those charged with governance and other man8gement,' and via inspection of the charily's regulatory and legal correspondence. We discussed with Ihose charged with governance and olher manag8mènt the policies and procedurès regarding complianoe with laws and regulations. We communicated identified laws and regul8llons lo our te3m and remalned alert to any indicators of noncorllpliance througl)oul the audit, we also specifically consldèrèd where and how fraud may occur within Ihe charity. The potential effed of thes818ws and regulations on thé financial slalements varies considerably, 10- CHANGING PATHWAYS INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT {CONTINUEDI TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHANGING PATHWAYS Firstly, the charilgblè company is subject lo laws and regulations that direcuy affect the financAal slalemenls, including.. the charitable Ctsmpany's constitution., relevant financial report*ng standards; company law., the Slalemenl of Reoommended Practice applicable lo charities preparing their finan&al slalemenls in accordancè with FRS 1Q2 (effective Iiom 1 January 2019} and we assess the extent of compliance with Ihese laws and regulations as part of our prO￿dur¢S on the related flnancial slalernenl items. Secondty the charitable company is subje¢l lo many olher laws and reoulalions where the consequences of non- eomplian¢& could have a material effect on the amounts or disdosures in the financial slalenRenlb, for instance through the imposition of fines and penaltie3, or through lossos arlstng from liligalions. We identified the following areas as those most likely lo havè such an gffect.. legislation direclly applicable lo charilles sector sueh as the Charilies Act 2011", employment legislation., health and safety logislalion., safeguarding legislalion.. th8 mgulalory reqU1￿MentS of the Ch8ri1y Ctsrllrnisslon and data protection legislation. Internallonal Auditing Standards IUKI limit the required procedures to ideiilify Don-compliari¢e wilh these laws and regiilations to the procedures, and no proceduie5 over and above those alTeady noted are requirad. These limited procedures did not identify any actual or suspected non-compliance which laws and regulations that could have a material impact on the financial s1¥18ments. In relallon to fraud, we performed the foElowlng spe￿riC procedures in addit￿ll lo those already noted., Challenging assumptions mad& by managemant in its slgnificant accounting eslim81¢s in particular. récognition of incorne., Idenlifying and lesling jc>umal enlrlés, in particular any entries posted with unusual nomin81 ledger account combinations., Performing analytscal procedures to Identify unexpected move¥nents in ac£ounl balances which may be indicative of fraud., Ensuring that lesling undertaken on both the Slalemenl of Financial Aclivlty ISOFAI and the Balan￿ Shèèt includes a number of items selected on a r8ndom basis. These procedures did not identify any actual or 8uspeoled fraudulenl irreoularily that could have a matéri81 impact on the financial slalamenls. Owing to th& inherent limilallons of an audit, Ihere is an unavoidable rlsk that we may not hav8 detecled some material mlsstatements in the finanaal stalemellls, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with International Auditing Standards IUKI. For Éxample, the furthw removed non-compliance with laws and regulations Is from the 8vents and transactions reflected in the financsal slat6ments, the less likely the procèdures that we are required lo ullderiake would identify it. In addition, as with 8ny audit. there remains 2 high sk of non-dele¢tion c>f irregularities, as thgse Might involve collusion, forgery, Inlentional omissions, misrepresentation, or the override of intwn81 controts. W¢ are not responsiblè for preventing non-compliancè wilh laws and regulations or fiaud, and Gannol bè expected lo deleel non-cornpliance with 211 laws and regulations or every incidence of traud.

Auditorfs responslbilities for the audit of the financial Statements Our objectives éire lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial slalemenls as a whole are free from material misslalem&nt, whèther due Its fraud or error, and to issue an audil0I5 report that indudes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guaianlee that an audit conducted in accordancé with ISAS {UKI will aknays delecl a matprial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can aTise Irom fraud or error and are considered maleiial il, Individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be exp8cted lo influence the economic decisions of users lakèn on the basls ol these financial statements. The ttxtenl lo whlch our pr0¢8dures are capable of deléctin9 irregularilles, indudlng fraud, is detall8d below. Capabillty of the audit in detectlrtg lttegularity, including fraud We idenlifiod areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected lo have a material effe¢1 on the financial slalemenls from our.. general commercial and sector experien￿., through verbal and written communications with those charged with governance and other man8gement,' and via inspection of the charily's regulatory and legal correspondence. We discussed with Ihose charged with governance and olher manag8mènt the policies and procedurès regarding complianoe with laws and regulations. We communicated identified laws and regul8llons lo our te3m and remalned alert to any indicators of noncorllpliance througl)oul the audit, we also specifically consldèrèd where and how fraud may occur within Ihe charity. The potential effed of thes818ws and regulations on thé financial slalements varies considerably, 10- CHANGING PATHWAYS INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT {CONTINUEDI TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHANGING PATHWAYS Firstly, the charilgblè company is subject lo laws and regulations that direcuy affect the financAal slalemenls, including.. the charitable Ctsmpany's constitution., relevant financial report*ng standards; company law., the Slalemenl of Reoommended Practice applicable lo charities preparing their finan&al slalemenls in accordancè with FRS 1Q2 (effective Iiom 1 January 2019} and we assess the extent of compliance with Ihese laws and regulations as part of our prO￿dur¢S on the related flnancial slalernenl items. Secondty the charitable company is subje¢l lo many olher laws and reoulalions where the consequences of non- eomplian¢& could have a material effect on the amounts or disdosures in the financial slalenRenlb, for instance through the imposition of fines and penaltie3, or through lossos arlstng from liligalions. We identified the following areas as those most likely lo havè such an gffect.. legislation direclly applicable lo charilles sector sueh as the Charilies Act 2011", employment legislation., health and safety logislalion., safeguarding legislalion.. th8 mgulalory reqU1￿MentS of the Ch8ri1y Ctsrllrnisslon and data protection legislation. Internallonal Auditing Standards IUKI limit the required procedures to ideiilify Don-compliari¢e wilh these laws and regiilations to the procedures, and no proceduie5 over and above those alTeady noted are requirad. These limited procedures did not identify any actual or suspected non-compliance which laws and regulations that could have a material impact on the financial s1¥18ments. In relallon to fraud, we performed the foElowlng spe￿riC procedures in addit￿ll lo those already noted., Challenging assumptions mad& by managemant in its slgnificant accounting eslim81¢s in particular. récognition of incorne., Idenlifying and lesling jc>umal enlrlés, in particular any entries posted with unusual nomin81 ledger account combinations., Performing analytscal procedures to Identify unexpected move¥nents in ac£ounl balances which may be indicative of fraud., Ensuring that lesling undertaken on both the Slalemenl of Financial Aclivlty ISOFAI and the Balan￿ Shèèt includes a number of items selected on a r8ndom basis. These procedures did not identify any actual or 8uspeoled fraudulenl irreoularily that could have a matéri81 impact on the financial slalamenls. Owing to th& inherent limilallons of an audit, Ihere is an unavoidable rlsk that we may not hav8 detecled some material mlsstatements in the finanaal stalemellls, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with International Auditing Standards IUKI. For Éxample, the furthw removed non-compliance with laws and regulations Is from the 8vents and transactions reflected in the financsal slat6ments, the less likely the procèdures that we are required lo ullderiake would identify it. In addition, as with 8ny audit. there remains 2 high sk of non-dele¢tion c>f irregularities, as thgse Might involve collusion, forgery, Inlentional omissions, misrepresentation, or the override of intwn81 controts. W¢ are not responsiblè for preventing non-compliancè wilh laws and regulations or fiaud, and Gannol bè expected lo deleel non-cornpliance with 211 laws and regulations or every incidence of traud.
