TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023

The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2023.

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.

The Trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

Dr L Browne (Resigned 17 May 2023) Dr K Pomerantz Dr A C Greene Dr A J Annear Dr R Clayton Dr M Carey Dr S Baillie

The Trustees have continued to provide representation of the AVIGuk members and provide strategic leadership, with the addition of four new trustees in March 2022, the Board now represents England, Scotland and Wales.

The Trustees recognise the importance of transparency, and have developed the Trustee induction process which now includes an information briefing session from our Chief Executive Officers. Additionally, the roles, responsibilities, and expectations for Trustees were revisited to enhance the induction of new members. This initiative aligns with the commitment to foster a well-informed and empowered Board.

The Board met virtually seven times and, in December 2023, conducted a face-to-face Away Day where the Risk Register was reviewed and updated.

None of the Trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the Trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £10 in the event of a winding up.

The Trustees administer the charity and determine the general policy. The day to day operation is delegated to the Chief Executives, within terms approved by the Trustees.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023

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 or 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

Hilary Kennedy and David Gavine have continued as joint Chief Executives Officers (CEOs) during 2022-23.

As a charity AVIGuk is required to maintain a Board of Trustees. Trustees are volunteers who serve a fixed term of office in order to provide strategic leadership in line with the charity’s overarching aims and values. This year the Board has continued to provide oversight and help set the strategic direction for the Association, and in light of four new Trustees joining in March 2022, produced a document setting out the terms of office and expectations for Trustees. It is intended that this framework will help members to be clearer about what is involved in serving on the Board as well as helping to prepare new Trustees for the role.

This year the Board also reviewed and revised the AVIGuk complaints policy in order to better articulate the process that should be followed and the support available so this could be transparent to all. This was then published on the Learning Platform.

ASSOCIATION FOR VIDEO INTERACTION GUIDANCE UK

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023

The Board continued to liaise regularly with the training group, supporting the appointment of a training officer and maintaining oversight of the changes in AVIGuk midpoint and accreditation procedures. The Board plans to support further consultation on the proposals to bring Practitioner Accreditation in house, and to ensure that robust and systematic feedback is collected on developments such as these, for example The Board would like to see evaluation of the recent changes to the Initial Training Course (ITC). The Board’s role here is to liaise with the Training group to stay abreast of developments and aim to ensure that implementation is in line with AVIGuk Values and beliefs and ensure that members voices are heard.

From L to R: Ruth, Alison, Sarah, Alex and Kathryn-Martin at the Rear

The Board sincerely thanks all members for their ongoing support and commitment to AVIGuk's mission.

In a similar vein, the Board has continued to maintain oversight of the Association’s finances and has worked with the CEOs in order to develop improved reporting mechanisms that better summarise AVIGuk’s financial situation and make this more accessible and easier to understand and communicate.

The Board has also continued to support and promote the work of the AREDI (Anti Racism Equity Diversity and Inclusion) group which was formed in 2021. AREDI have been very active again this year and particularly focussed on plans for the collection of demographic information about protected characteristics from members.

Trustees to AVIGuk live in Scotland, Wales and England and have experience in a variety of sectors including health, education and social care bringing this diversity of experience to their dealings with the Board. This means the Board meeting virtually and in this reporting period the Board completed seven virtual meetings. Alongside the main Board meetings Trustees also hold responsibility for certain areas of VIG and will voluntarily participate in sub groups to organise and plan for specific AVIGuk areas such as equal opportunities, training development and risk management. In December the Board met in person for the first time, holding a successful away day. At this meeting the Risk Register was reviewed and updated.

Finally, The Board are excited that 2024 will see another AVIGuk Conference and are keen to ensure that the event is a great success.

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

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

AVIGuk Website Developments

To better serve the public, AVIGuk launched a new website on the WIX platform in March. The sustained monthly traffic of around 800 visitors both internationally and throughout the UK reflects AVIGuk’s efforts to meet the needs of our diverse audience.

Prior to this year we used the home pages of our previous membership and learning platforms as our public website too. This was less than optimal because what the public needs from a VIG website is very different from that needed by VIG learners and practitioners. So, in late 2022, we subscribed to WIX as a website platform. WIX is one of the most popular website builders in the world, being extremely sophisticated and modern yet very easy to learn and use. We commissioned Rachel Pardoe to update and further develop the content needed by the public. The new website was launched in March. There was an immediate surge of traffic in response to the news of the launch. However, after that passed, the site has continued to receive about 800 new visitors every month. They come from all over the world but overwhelmingly from the UK. Within UK, a map of these new visitors gives a sense of strength of VIG activity across the country.

Training and Development Team

Our training initiatives made significant strides. A total of 136 trainees achieved accreditation as practitioners, showcasing the success of our programs. The Training Team, now led by Helen Gibson as Training Lead and Michele Corley as Training Officer, introduced new CPD events which have proved very popular. We observed increased engagement with courses such as the Professional Traject Plan, Leading 1-1 Midpoint Reviews, and SDS Masterclasses.

Events Coordinators Oonagh Davies and Ava Carlon have been appointed to lead the coordination efforts for the conference. Their expertise will ensure a well-organised and impactful event.

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

Chaired by Trustee Alex Greene, the AREDI Advisory Group has played a pivotal role in addressing potential structural inequalities within AVIGuk. We're proud to have incorporated "Equity" into AVIGuk's values. AREDI's focus on diversity data collection and collaboration with the Training Coordinator underscores our commitment to culturally responsive practices.

Looking ahead, AREDI is committed to actively participating in the Board's fiveyear strategy, overseeing background data collection, addressing systemic inequities, and collaborating closely with the Board and CEOs to implement directives.

AREDI, chaired by Alex Greene (Board Trustee), 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. See statement ink: https://learnvig.matrixlms.eu/group_resources/folder/15224?folder=1628384&page_router=true

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.

ASSOCIATION FOR VIDEO INTERACTION GUIDANCE UK

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023

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

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 https:// learnvig.matrixlms.eu/group_resources/folder/15224?folder=1628384&page_router=true

Training: in collaboration with Helen Gibson, AVIGuk’s Training Co-ordinator and co-author of SDSs, 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. For information about the rationale behind data collection, how it will collected, stored and used please see: https://learnvig.matrixlms.eu/ group_resources/folder/15224?folder=2107418&page_r

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 (see Unit 2 handouts: https://learnvig.matrixlms.eu/files/86249/ITC_Unit_2_Handout_Nov_2022_copy.pdf

Our rationale for including equity as a value

Future Plans

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023

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 or grantors 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.

ASSOCIATION FOR VIDEO INTERACTION GUIDANCE UK

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023

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 a further £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.
