TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

Objectives and activities

Purposes and aims

AiMH UK’s purposes are as set out in the objects contained in the company's Articles of Association:

'To advance education and research for the public benefit in the field of infant mental health and the emotional development of health of infants and young children, by: educating healthcare professionals, practitioners, policymakers and the general public, through strategic discussion, workshops, conferences and a website and publishing the useful results of such research'

AiMH UK is an interdisciplinary, not-for-profit organisation that promotes education, research and study of the effects of mental, emotional and social development during infancy.

AiMH UK is an affiliate of the World Association for Infant Mental Health (WAIMH).

The organisation is underpinned by evidence concerning the impact of the early nurturing environment on the infants later capacity for emotional regulation and their rapidly developing brain, and thereby for the future wellbeing of society.

The aims of the charity are to provide evidence-based educational resources to academic, scientific, clinical and service-led communities. The charity seeks to support practitioners who work with parents and carers of infants with up-to-date information to enable them to build their skills and knowledge, thereby increasing wider understanding of the importance of infant mental health.

The focus of our work

The focus of our work is to promote and establish new projects and events. These include an Annual AiMH UK National Conference, in addition to a range of workshops and IMH Hub events, the latter being an important focus of our work as these support and educate professionals who study and/or care for infants/families. New and current projects include:

The continued development of fourteen regional AiMH UK Infant Mental Health Hubs throughout the UK, to enable practitioners to develop local communities of best practice, and to share news/events/information with each other. Scotland, London & Home Counties, Bristol & South-west regional IMH Hubs have run successful events throughout the year despite the disruption of COVID-19. These events have been provided online, which has enabled practitioners across the UK access them.

The development and launch of our new website and branding of AiMH UK. The website is now a dynamic and interactive portal for our members, enabling them to engage with the wider membership and further develop the communities of practice with forums and discussion groups. Updated resources and articles are now available on the website.

Following on from the launch of the Infant Mental Health Competencies Framework (IMHCF), Continuous Professional Development System (IMHCPDS) and AIMH (UK) Recognition Register (IMHRR) at Westminster in June 2019, AiMH UK have been working with the pilot participants to build their IMH Portfolios. However, COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the progression of many of the IMHRR pilot participants (e.g., redeployment to work in front-line COVID-related services, managing excessive workloads, and delivering services remotely), and we are continuing to work with them to try and finalise the process.

A Director of Education and CPD has been employed to further this project and support the participants.

Following on from the IMH CPD System, the IMHRR Quality Assurance Process for training providers to map their training again the Competency Framework has been set up. A number of leading trainers in the field have completed this process. AiMH UK plan to develop the National Database of IMH training providers over the course of the next two years.

ASSOCIATION FOR INFANT MENTAL HEALTH (U.K.)

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

The production of our Annual Best Practice Guides highlights the most recent evidence-based material for the benefit of AiMH UK professional members. In response to the pandemic a specialised fact sheet ‘COVID-19 Emotional Support for Infants and their parents’ was published during 2020.

In 2020 The Infant Mental Health Awareness Week (IMHAW) was run by the Parent Infant Foundation and AiMH UK continued to support this and engaged with the re-launch of the 1001 Days Movement. This annual event helps raise a greater understanding for parents, policy makers and professionals of the importance of perinatal and infant mental health and, in the context of understanding further, why infant mental health should be looked upon as a preventative public health strategy for future generations.

In 2020 the AiMH UK National Conference was run as an online event due to the restrictions of COVID-19. This proved positive in that it attracted attendees from across the world and 315 individuals registered for the event. The annual awards were made in recognition of individuals from the UK who have made important contributions to the infant mental health community in the course of their careers. This included nominations from the fields of health, mental health, early care and education and early intervention.

AiMH UK continues to broaden its representation on the Executive Committee both geographically and from across different professions and sectors to ensure that we provide a nationally representative 'voice'.

How our activities deliver public benefit

It is estimated that up to 20% of women in the UK develop a mental health problem during pregnancy or within a year of giving birth (Bauer et al. , 2019), and that perinatal mental health problems cost the welfare state about £8 billion each year, with 72% of this cost being attributed to the adverse impact on the infant and longterm development of the child (Bauer et al. , 2019). AiMH UK activities (as described above) provide a large body of resources for practitioners working with parents and infants during the perinatal period, to help them to provide up-to-date, evidence-based care, to parent-infant dyad’s experiencing these and other types of problems.

Financial review

Summary

Following on from the position of 2019, the Aim Foundation awarded AiMH UK £30K per year over the next three years, conditional on us meeting the agreed deliverables. In addition, AiMH UK have acquired our first service contract, to work in partnership with Central Northwest London Foundation Trust to facilitate 100 members of staff to work towards IMHRR registration. This partnership has secured funding over the next 4 years and provides an opportunity for AiMH UK to be involved in the implementation of the NHS Long Term Plan for perinatal mental health services. Our membership figures have increased and our national conference, despite COVID-19 realised a significant profit for AiMH UK. As a result, we will not be in deficit going forward.

The Future

The Trustees will continue to work together to increase awareness and education in infant mental health. Our central aim is to promote the mental wellbeing and healthy development of infants, taking into account cultural, regional, and environmental variations, and to generate and disseminate scientific knowledge. Over the next 12 months we plan to achieve this through the further development of the IMH Continuing Professional Development System (IMHCPDS) and IMH Recognition Register (IMHRR); by continuing to run annual national conferences, and the delivery of papers at relevant national and international events; clinical workshops and by launching another two regional infant mental health Hubs across the UK.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Association for Infant Mental Health (U.K.) is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Chipping Campden Business Hub, The Cambrook, High Street, Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, GL55 6AT, United Kingdom.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance 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) (effective 1 January 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

1.3 Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

1.4 Expenditure

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 a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Fixtures and fittings

25% reducing balance

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

1.6 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) .

1.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.8 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

ASSOCIATION FOR INFANT MENTAL HEALTH (U.K.)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Basic financial liabilities

Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
