Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Casework and service delivery In previous years we have seen the demand for our casework increase and we have seen another increase in referrals in this review period. More referrals have needed to be dealt with by professional advice, to support other practitioners in other agencies to support children, young people and families, which has been working well according to feedback we have gathered. We prioritise referrals by need and safeguarding risk. We have continued this year to work in partnership with Hackney Migrant Centre to provide drop-in family advice services, where demand for family advice slightly decreased. We continued our partnership with Refugees at Home providing regular advice and support services and have received referrals from the charity sector, local authorities, legal advisors and directly from service users. Continuing delays in asylum processing continues to have an impact on the length of time we are keeping cases open, meaning we are providing support for longer in asylum cases. Looking at data on the type of cases we are taking, we are providing more support to asylum seeking families in our family project, and taking less work of other types. This inevitably means that case times go up. We have continued to streamline and automate our case management processes, so that our online secure system will reduce administration, freeing up caseworkers to do direct work. Our system now identifies leave end dates for example, and then reminds previous service users about their status end and their need to seek legal advice. On average we are still making first contact to 84% of referrals within one working day and 97% within 3 working days. Figures

Our casework survey for the year gathers the feedback of those who use our services. Some feedback from service users included;

‘Together with Migrant children have given me hope. I feel loved and they are always there for me’ A service user from our family based work.

We ask what we can do better in our survey and responses were; • More workshops for parents on rights and entitlements. • To be able to directly provide financial assistance.

Section D Achievements and performance

• More activity days.

Practitioner feedback on our advice services included;

‘Was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He equipped me with all of the information I required to prepare the young man for his age assessment. The young man felt similarly equipped following my session with him.’ Referrer from a supported accommodation

Training and education

We delivered 6 training courses in the period as well as 2 skills sessions for professionals. The majority of these were an introduction to working with children who migrate, with 2 skills sessions on working with young people who are age disputed.

Access to Justice challenges

During the period, we joined the ‘Legal Aid Action Group’ organised by Migrants Organise. This is due to a shared concern in the sector about the availability of legal advice and support in immigration. Our waiting times to source representatives for service users has increased, particularly for more complex cases. By working in partnership with other organisations, we hope to be able to illustrate the issue and encourage widening access to justice and legal advice.

Education in asylum hotels

Funded by the ILPA Strategic Legal Fund, we started a project that will run into the next reporting period in partnership with the Public Law Project and Garden Court Chambers. This project is exploring delays in education for children who are in primarily in initial asylum accommodation. The first phase of this project ran in the reporting period to assess the extent of the issue and assess whether we would conduct further work on this issue.

this project is to increase the availability of resources to families
so children can move on from destitution.
Family support included;
• We conducted 410 home visits to families across the year to
provide practical and emotional support.
• We accompanied families to meeting with other practitioners on
30 occasions.
• All families receive at a minimum weekly contact by phone
during their case.
• All families receive a needs assessment at opening of case, and
an agreed plan. Cases are then regularly reviewed to see where
children are at, what the on-going needs are, and how the plans
needs to change.
• We did a significant amount of education advocacy where
children were not in education at the point of referral. This
primarily in asylum seeking families in initial accommodation.
We also did some advocacy where children were not receiving
an appropriate education, such as in cases where a child had
additional needs and no EHC planning.
UASC and age disputes;
• 64% of cases age disputed resulted in children being assessed
and accommodated under Section 20 Children Act 1989.
• The remainder of age dispute cases required further
intervention, such as referrals to community solicitors, further
progression of cases through legal routes.
• We provided advice and support on helping children understand
and realise their rights and entitlements.
• We provided regular visiting to all age disputes and care
experienced young people.
• 89% of referrals into this category required immigration legal
advice, which was referred out to providers through our access
to justice project.
• We secured 5 grants of exceptional case funding for young
people recognised as refugees to make family reunion
applications and sourced solicitors to make these applications
for them.

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME

This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.

Recognition of income
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when
receivable.
Support costs
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
Volunteer help
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the
expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet.
On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and
the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and
included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in
the trustees’ annual report.
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
• the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
· it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
• the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donated goods
Contractual income and
performance related grants
Offsetting
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or
permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
Grants and donations
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent
that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant
only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
Legacies
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been
grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the
estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity
or have been met.
Government grants
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
Tax reclaims on donations
and gifts
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.
Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is
treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the
terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income
with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the
SOFA.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the
fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In
the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense
at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
Donated services and
facilities
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the
gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
Income from interest,
royalties and dividends
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be
measured reliably.
Income from membership
subscriptions
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and
Legacies.

Settlement of insurance Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria claims are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA.

Investment gains and losses This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES

Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance and support costs Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of Grants with performance conditions service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.

Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to Grants payable without realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be performance conditions recognised.

Redundancy cost The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.

Deferred income No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade Creditors discounts

A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured Provisions for liabilities at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph Basic financial instruments 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. 2.4 ASSETS Tangible fixed assets for These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least use by charity They are valued at cost.

The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2. Intangible fixed assets The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5

They are valued at cost.

Heritage assets The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic, scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4. They are valued at cost. Investments Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments Stocks and work in Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net progress realisable value. Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock.

Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract.

Debtors
