To preserve and protect the physical and mental health of children and young people who experience social care by improving the social care service they receive by advancing the education of the public and all those involved in and responsible for children's social care and by promoting an evidence-based approach to the development of policy, practice and services in children's social care. 

## **2.2 Public benefit** 

The trustees confirm that they have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and activities. During the period, the charity pursued public benefit by improving the quality and consistency of outcomes-focused practice in children’s social care through education, training, implementation support and system improvement work. 



## **2.3 Our approach** 

The Centre for Outcomes of Care exists to strengthen evidence-based practice and outcomes management in children’s social care. This includes enabling organisations to use robust needsand-strengths assessment (including the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths framework, CANS), and supporting implementation through training, accreditation, digital tools and advisory support.

Planning documents in the period referenced activity, including CANS training, accreditation and use of the eCANS platform, alongside policy/practice development work and the development of a CANS Therapeutic Assessment Centre (TAC) model. 

## **3.4 Example project in development: SE RCC ‘Bring them home: The big exchange’** 

During the period, project planning progressed for a South East Regional Care Cooperative partnership. The planned work involved assessment activity across multiple local authorities and a focus on identifying children who could return closer to home.

The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 record total income of £104,575 (prior year: £38,581) and total expenditure of £123,203 (prior year: £5,619). 

This resulted in net (expenditure)/income of (£18,628) for the year (prior year: £32,962). 

## **4.2 Financial position** 

At 31 March 2025 total funds carried forward were £1,934 (prior year: £20,562). Cash at bank and in hand at year end was £10,437 (prior year: £15,569). 

Trade and other debtors at year end were £43,332 (prior year: £21,165), and trade and other creditors were £51,835 (prior year: £14,922). 

## **4.3 Reserves policy** 

The charity has a reserves policy to achieve 3 months operational costs by April 2027 and six months by April 2028. 

## **4.4 Going concern and outlook** 

The trustees review the charity’s financial position and cashflow regularly. The focus for the next period is to increase the resilience of core operations through sustainable income, appropriate cost control and strengthened financial processes. 

## **5. Structure, governance and management** 

## **5.1 Governing document and legal structure** 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. 

## **5.2 Trustee responsibilities and conduct** 

Trustees are responsible for setting the charity’s strategic direction, ensuring compliance with the governing document and relevant legislation, protecting the charity’s assets, and ensuring financial sustainability. Trustees operate under a trustee code of conduct, including expectations on integrity, collective decision-making, conflicts of interest, confidentiality and accountability. 

## **5.3 Delegation and management** 

Day-to-day management is delegated to the executive team within budgets and strategy approved by the trustees. Where specialist advice is required (for example, legal, accounting or information governance), trustees may draw on external professional support. 

## **5.4 Workforce and capacity** 

Planning during the period identified the need to strengthen operational capacity through a small number of core support roles (for example, administration/project coordination, 



communications/marketing and finance support), alongside scalable training and implementation capacity. 

## **6. Principal risks and uncertainties** 

The trustees keep a register of key risks and review mitigations as the charity develops. Principal risks identified during the period included: 

- **Delivery capacity and quality as demand grows:** Phase onboarding of partners, invest in training capacity and operational support, and maintain clear quality assurance. 

- **Financial resilience and cashflow:** Maintain close management of receivables/payables, strengthen finance support and reporting, and develop a realistic reserves policy aligned to the scale of operations. 

- **Information governance and data security:** Maintain ISO27001-aligned controls, manage access rights, and ensure appropriate agreements and secure systems for any sensitive data. 

- **Reputational and partnership risk:** Clear contracting and governance oversight; ensure activities remain consistent with charitable purposes and public benefit; manage conflicts of interest transparently. 

## **7. Plans for future periods** 

- Complete and disseminate the UK-anglicised reference guide and supporting training materials; support the user transition. 

- Strengthen the organisation’s digital presence (website, communications and marketing) to support credibility and lead generation. 

- Continue to scale sustainable earned income through training, accreditation, platform and advisory support. 

- Progress partnership delivery planning with local authorities and independent providers of care. 

- Continue development of the Therapeutic Assessment Centre (TAC) concept and associated funding/operating model. 

- Build board and organisational capacity (including recruitment of core support roles) to ensure delivery quality and financial resilience.

- Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Freehold investment property** 

Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. 

## **Stocks** 

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

**Centre For Outcomes Of Care** 

## **Notes to the Accounts** 

## **Research and development** 

Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. 

## **Foreign currencies** 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. 

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred. 

All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure. 

## **Leased assets** 

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease. 

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases. 

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. 

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets. 

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis. 

## **Pension costs** 

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds. 

## **Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services** 

All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity. 

## 2 **Company status**

**Independent Examiners Report** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustee of Centre For Outcomes Of Care** 

I report to the charity trustee on my examination of the financial statements of Centre For Outcomes Of Care for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustee (and also a director for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act. 

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the Charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's financial statements as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the 2006 Act ; or 

- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements under section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

- the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
