## **CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022**_ 

Welcome to the AVIGuk Annual report for 2021-22. As for previous years the aim in producing this report is to allow AVIGuk members and the wider community to know more about the work of the Association and hopefully to feel more connected as a result. 

The report is produced by the Board of Trustees and the last 12 months have been a transitional time for the Board, as the Previous Chair, Clare Lowry stepped down and 4 new members joined.  As the incoming Chair I have been so impressed with the achievements of Clare and the previous Board.  Behind the scenes there is a continual drive to review and improve standards of training, accreditation, research and dissemination of Video Interaction Guidance.  I hope you will enjoy reading about these various strands and the development work of the Association here.  As always, if there are any projects or developments that you would either like to know more about or even contribute to, please do get in touch with either myself or any of the Board members or CEOs.  Although the organisational structure for AVIGuk has matured significantly over recent years, we remain a small charity, dependent upon the active engagement of its membership to move forward with our aims of supporting the most vulnerable in society through this remarkable method of VIG. 

Please do get in touch if you have any comments or questions about any aspects of AVIGuk or if you have any ideas that you would like to share with the Board.  We welcome contributions from the wider AVIGuk community. 

Dr M Carey **Chairman** 

Date: 17 May 2023

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022**_ 

The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2022. 

The charity is also known as AVIGuk. 

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 2019) 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, the Memorandum and Articles incorporated 20 June 2012 and the latest amendments by special resolution on 9 November 2021, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022**_ 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The charity's objects are to advance the education and skills of using the method of 'Video Interaction Guidance'. 

The policies adopted in furtherance of these objects are: 

The promotion of social inclusion for the public benefit by relieving the needs of those people who are 'socially excluded' and assisting them to integrate into society in such ways as the charity thinks fit including by: 

1) advancing the education and skills development of the public in attuned dialogue, mentalisation and active problem-solving through the method of video interaction guidance, especially where people are having difficulty in establishing and maintaining satisfying and effective communication with others. 

2) promoting the continuing professional development of the 'helping professions' in attuned dialogue, mentalisation and active problem-solving through the method of video interaction guidance. 

3) providing training materials for the continuing professional development of the 'helping professions' in the use of video interaction guidance. 

4) providing an accreditation system for the continuing professional development of the 'helping professions' in the use of video interaction guidance. 

5) maintaining a register of all accredited practitioners and supervisors in the use of video interaction guidance. 

6) ensuring that ethical standards and competent practice are maintained by those who train the 'helping professions' in the use of video interaction guidance. 

For the purpose of this clause 'socially excluded' means being excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of one of more of the following factors: unemployment; financial hardship; youth or old age; ill health (physical or mental); substance abuse or dependency including alcohol and drugs; discrimination on the grounds of sex, race, disability, ethnic origin, religion, belief, creed, sexual orientation or gender re-assignment; poor educational or skills attainment; relationship and family breakdown; poor housing (that is housing that does not meet basic habitable standards; crime (either as a victim of crime or as an offender rehabilitating into society). 

There has been no change in these during the year. 

The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

There have been some changes to the functioning of the executive team during the year.  As the development of the new learning platform and finance system have become established, the system and finance manager’s remits have declined.  However, overall the executive has experienced a year of relative stability which is very welcome. 

Hilary Kennedy and David Gavine have continued as joint Chief Executives during 2021-22.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022**_ 

## **Training** 

Helen Gibson continued as Training Coordinator. 

## Practitioner Training 

Initial training courses (ITCs) continue to be delivered on-line and face to face. In total 608 people completed the introductory training, 508 trainees signed onto trainee practitioner paths, 222 trainees completed their midpoint review and 93 trainees became accredited practitioners. 

## Advanced Practitioner Accreditation 

16 practitioners enrolled to complete their Advanced Practitioner Accreditation and 12 of these practitioners were successfully accredited. 

## Supervisor Training 

Four Advanced Practitioners enrolled onto the trainee supervisor path. 

## Supervisor Accreditation 

Four Trainee Supervisors became Accredited as Full Supervisors. 

## **Development of Continuing Professional Development (CPD)** 

## Returning to VIG 

Two half day events were offered in October 2021 for those wishing to return to practice following a break. 

## From the Problem to the Helping Question 

This course was created by Jenny Jarvis and Zubeida Dasgupta and was delivered through AVIGuk. 21 completed this course. It is very popular and future courses have been and will be offered. 

- Reading Midpoint Review Events and Preparing Trainees and Delivering 1 1 Midpoint Reviews These courses were created and 21 completed this training. 

## **Reliability Training** 

The Reliability Training has been divided into Part 1 and Part 2 so that supervisors can attend Part 1 as a CPD event to develop their ability to score using the SDS (skills development scale). Those supervisors who wish to train to be part of the marking team can then join Part 2 of the course. 10 Supervisors completed Part 1. 

## **Supervisor Path** 

This is now established and the training and development team worked together with the executive team to ensure consistency. 

## **Membership Consultation** 

A Review of the Practitioner Training was undertaken. 10 members were selected randomly to join Hilary Kennedy and Helen Gibson to give feedback.  Overall there was satisfaction with the training process and experience. Some actions to take forward are outlined in ‘future plans’. 

## Future Plans 

- To develop further CPD opportunities for VIG practitioners and supervisors to connect on-line 

- To offer further guidance on intervision to develop confidence 

- To continue to offer and establish the CPD courses now created 

- To establish a team of Supervisors and practitioners who can deliver CPD events on behalf of AVIGuk

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022**_ 

## **Restricted funds - Research: The VIG Data Collection System (VIG-DCS)** 

The funding generously provided by the AIM Foundation in 2020 enabled AVIGuk to establish a ‘smart’, national Data Collection System to collect Video Interaction Guidance[TM] (VIG) pre- and post-intervention data. 

As a result of dedicated work by the staff funded to develop VIG Data Collection System (DCS) which is now in operation. As described in the AVIGuk _End of Year Report_ (January 2022), the DCS serves two purposes with regard to improving infant mental health and the mental health of older children: 

1. **clinical data** regarding individual parent-infant/child dyads that help the VIG practitioner to assess the effectiveness of the intervention, and make a decision about the need for any further therapeutic input. 

1. **outcome data** that enables AVIGuk to improve the delivery of VIG, and its effectiveness, by monitoring the impact of VIG across different services, regions, populations etc. 

The _AVIGuk End of Year Report_ (January 2022) gave a detailed account of the development of the DCS and its successful launch in February 2022. The DCS is already providing an excellent, user friendly data entry system. VIG practitioners can use the DCS, which is accessed as a web-app, live in sessions with clients, to record their goals and outcomes. It also includes pages for clients to access ahead of time, to get an overview of VIG before they meet their practitioner. 

The new AVIGuk website further supports the use of the DCS with clients, as both website and DCS can be easily accessed in client sessions using the practitioner’s device. The website provides the information and inspiration for the client to engage with VIG, and the DCS makes clear that client goals and outcomes are valued and prioritized. 

The _AVIGuk 2020-21 Report_ outlined the following. 

1. How and what suitable outcome measures were identified 

2. How the VIG-DCS online platform was developed, and its features 

3. The launch of the DCS, including user forums and training events, and most significantly the adoption of the DCS by an NHS Trust 

4. Next steps, included: 

   - Training events for users 

   - Troubleshooting Q&A sessions 

   - Dissemination of training materials 

   - Creation of a short online introductory course for users, available on AVIGuk’s learning platform, for practitioners to engage in asynchronous training prior to using the system. 

The ‘next steps’ above have all been achieved. 

70 Practitioners/Supervisors completed the VIG-DCS self-directed course by 1 September 2022 with a further 28 who enrolled and completed part of the course. 

## **AVIGuk Website** 

In November 2021, work began on the creation of a new website for AVIGuk.  The previous website, dating from 2014, had been integral to the membership system in use at the time.  It had been changed little and it was sorely in need of revision.  In order to create a modern professional-looking site the association decided to identify the best commercial website system that we could manage as a small charitable organisation.  AVIGuk engaged Rachel Pardoe, who had experience of creating a website for another organisation using WIX.  The design brief was to create a website that was much more outward looking; that would be a shop window for VIG and a resource for practitioners to use from clients to commissioners.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022**_ 

## **Antiracism, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (AREDI) Advisory Group** 

Alex Greene (Trustee and AREDI Chair), Sharon Pinhas, Stella Anene, Enomwoyi Damali 

AREDI is the advisory group established to examine, challenge and address any structural inequalities within the AVIGuk and to safeguard the Association’s adherence to wider systems of justice, education, health and other public organisations that our members and stakeholders belong to. 

We are indebted to our serving members (alphabetical): Stela Anene, Enomwoyi Damali, Sharon Pinhas and Anita Soni, who stand in solidarity with VIG practitioners, whatever their background, and work diligently to identify and dismantle any systemic inequities that the Association may knowingly or unknowingly perpetuate. We wish to thank wholeheartedly, our retiring member, Jenny Jarvis, who helped to inaugurate the group and establish its responsibilities. 

AREDI would like to encourage all practitioners (trainee, accredited, supervisor) who have an interest and would like to explore joining our team to get in touch with:  agreene@videointeractionguidance.net 

## Achievements 

- AVIGuk’s AREDI statement is an organic statement that adheres to wider systems of justice, education, health and other public organisations that are relevant and important to our diverse AVIGuk community 

- Training: in collaboration with Helen Gibson, AVIGuk’s Training Co-ordinator and co-author of SDS, AREDI aims to ensure working practices that are culturally responsive and sensitive e.g., Training material, events and supervision 

- Diversity Data collection: the Chef Executive, Hilary Kennedy & David Gavine, in collaboration with AREDI, are preparing to collect data on all practitioners to examine patterns being replicated at the different levels in the organisation and whether these compare with other organisations and the general population 

- AREDI’s Revision of AVIGuk’s values & beliefs: ‘Equity’ has been added to our ‘values’ and ‘In every interaction there are two equally important people’ to the beliefs. These additions are included in the revised ITC 

- Our rationale for including equity as a value 

## Future Plans 

- AREDI will participate in the writing and delivery of action plans, that form part of the Board’s five-year strategy 

5. AREDI will receive regular up-dates on the progress of background data collection, to ensure mechanisms are in place to capture the breakdown of diversity within the association, so that any inequality of opportunity or access to services inclusion can be addressed 

6. AREDI will draw on the knowledge and experience of practitioners to put mechanisms in place that reveal, address and amend any systemic inequities in the Association, that may be knowingly or unknowingly maintained e.g., 

   - training materials, supervision and resources 

   - development of CPD events that support AREDI policy & practice, 

   - such as restorative justice training the Social GRRRAACCCEEESSS as a way of ensuring culturally responsive and sensitive supervision 

7. AREDI will draw on inspiration from all practitioners to broaden our focus on diversity, to celebrate our differences and similarities and the rich and unique cultures we bring to AVIGuk 

AREDI will work closely with the Board and CEOs to oversee the implementation of any of the above directives.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022**_ 

## **Standards, Ethics and Complaints** 

Kathryn Pomerantz, Trustee 

## Achievements 

As part of the organisational structure and purpose of AVIGuk as a small charity, a further review of the policy documents : AVIGuk Code of Conduct, Ethics and Practice and AVIGuk Compliments and Complaints Policy has been undertaken. 

Reference has been made to the Charity Governance Code for smaller charities and the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NVCO) ethical principles, to ensure that these policies embrace these principles with integrity. Within the Code of Conduct, the expectations of supervisors and trainee supervisors regarding training standards has been made more explicit. 

Within the Compliments and Complaints Policy the guidance to the board on the process for resolving complaints is now clearer. It is the intention of the board in amending this document that complaints will be able to be resolved in a way that is timely, sensitive and ethical and ensures that all parties involved are supported in a safe, contained and respectful manner. 

## Future Plans 

- To liaise with CEOs and the training and development officer to ensure these revised policies are transparent and available to all those training in AVIGuk and those supervising and supporting AVIGuk trainees. 

- To develop a strategy for encouraging the giving of compliments and to make these appreciative comments available on the learning platform. 

## **Fundraising** 

Kathryn Pomerantz and Martin Carey, Chair 

This is a new area of development. As such it is intended that the following outcomes will be pursued: 

## Future Plans 

To seek funding through raising awareness of AVIGuk, grant opportunities and donations by: 

- Liaising with the CEOs and training and development officer to establish a bursary process 

- Liaising with the CEOs and finance officer to create a donation button on the website and also to set up a Gift Aid option for when practitioners and supervisors re-register 

- Exploring with the CEOs a potential fund-raising post 

- To actively seek a patron to promote awareness of AVIGuk 

## **Risk management** 

The previous AVIGuk board worked to create a risk management guidance document outlining the process and responsibilities. Risk was established as an item on the agenda at board meetings, and there were plans for regular reviews of the risk register at board meetings. 

## Future Plans 

- To continue with the process above and embed the practice of identifying risk and acting accordingly 

- The next review of the risk register is scheduled for July 2023, and this will take place quarterly thereafter 

- To link Board Trustees with Key Leads in AVIG-UK to identify any potential risks. These will then be assessed, included in the risk register, and reviewed.

**ASSOCIATION FOR VIDEO INTERACTION GUIDANCE UK** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Association for Video Interaction Guidance UK is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 124 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX. 

## **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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts 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 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **1.4 Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Membership subscriptions are recognised on receipt as they are considered non refundable. 

Training and conference income is recognised in the period in which they are performed and those not are carried forward to the next accounting period as deferred income. 

## **1.5 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability as incurred. 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities.  It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity. 

## **1.6 Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill** 

Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. 

- 12 - 



**ASSOCIATION FOR VIDEO INTERACTION GUIDANCE UK** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

Amortisation 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: 

Software 

20% straight line 

## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets** 

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible 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). 

## **1.8 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. 

## **1.9 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. 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. 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. 

## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

AVIGuk are working to establish a national data collection system to collect Video Interaction Guidance (VIG) pre- and post- intervention data, with funding of £25,000 from The AIM Foundation. This involves the development of a platform for VIG practitioners to input data to contribute to the growing evidence base and support future commissioning. The pilot focuses on establishing and tailoring the platform to practitioners working with parents/carers and babies (in the 1001 critical days) with the intention to expand to other services and client groups in future.
