RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023

It is always recommended that one should start at the very beginning – but we are starting at the very end with this report as we are closing the year buzzing with excitement about our intended expansion of services and premises in the coming months. More news to follow but we think we may have finally found solutions to our lack of space and consequent inability to increase counselling and support hours for our clients. This is good news for everyone, and I am putting it right here – at the beginning of our report because so many staff have mentioned it in their personal updates on the year.

We have long been aware of the challenges of our room space and think we have finally found a solution.

It’s really challenging, each year to try and write something gripping for an annual report when you are writing about the horrors of sexual violence and its impacts on its victims.

But, like the end of any year it’s a time for reflection on how far we have come and where we want to get to.

It’s close to 20 years since I first started work with RASA and only by looking back through our early Annual Reports can I see clearly how far we have come. Yes I can remember those early days when we would sit in semi darkness in our little house in Birkenhead, wondering whose idea it had been to paint the walls dark orange - waiting for the phone to ring.

In those days 2004-06 the computer was simply to write letters and play the radio. There were no such things as bank transfers and quick payments. Client records were held in huge fat files, that just grew fatter each year – and all file movements were recorded using a pencil and rubber – when you remembered you had moved a file. Elastic bands pinged at regular intervals as they stretched to breaking point – and then – beyond.

RASA was approaching 20 years old and the good women who had worked tirelessly to get her thus far had dreams of the future – we could all see the future – but we had no idea how we were going to get there.

We were massively excited to welcome 20 new volunteer counsellors that year – we relied heavily on volunteers – mainly because we had no funds to pay anyone. But in that year, we managed to carry out 1224 counselling appointments, 261 support appointments, respond to 2809

helpline calls and welcome 364 new women into the service. This indicates the determination and dedication of the RASA Team.

Jump forward to this year and we now have 36 paid staff, including a team of ISVAs, a Children’s Section and an Adult Counselling Section. We cover Sefton, Wirral and Liverpool and welcomed 2152 new clients into service. And – we no longer have bulging paper files as all our records are held safely and electronically on a cloud-based server. How times have changed

Our work this year beyond our regular counselling, ISVA and support has been as varied as training tram drivers in Manchester about how to be an effective bystander, running trauma courses for external counsellors, delivering sexual harassment awareness training in the local universities – all while managing to deliver face to face counselling and support to over 3600 people in need of our help.

In April 2022 our waiting list for counselling in Birkenhead was 10 months long. We simply needed more room to be able to hold more sessions and bring down that waiting time. We employ multiple activities and support

sessions for clients awaiting counselling and these are helping to fill that gap.

Our Birkenhead Centre was running “Taking Back Control” sessions with amazing results for long term sufferers of the impacts of sexual violence.

RASA SUNFLOWERS – OUR CHILDREN’S SERVICE

Name: Janet Bunn

It has been another busy year for RASA Sunflowers. I feel lucky to be part of this team. It will be three years this August since I took on the role of team manager. I am grateful for the

support of my team and the other managers, including Helen, who set the Sunflowers service up and previously managed it. Helen continues to be an invaluable source of help, support, and wisdom.

Sunflowers continues to grow, having appointed a full-time Children and Young People’s Sexual Violence Advisor (CHISVA), to join our two existing part-time CHISVAs across Sefton, Liverpool, and Wirral. We are fortunate that this worker was previously our assessment officer, where she developed a good understanding of the Sunflowers service. She has started her initial ISVA training with Lime Culture and the Level 3 Counselling Skills with RASA Education.

Due to this staff development, we appointed a new part-time assessment officer in December 2022. This worker has previous experience of working

RASA is a Registered Charity Number 1094462 and a Company Limited by Guarantee 04538556

6

RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023

with children and young people within a women’s refuge. The insight that this experience has provided has proved extremely beneficial in assessment officer role. This worker has also started some training with RASA Education -the Level 2 Counselling Concepts. As staff, we are so lucky to have such fantastic training opportunities within our organisation with RASA Education.

Another example of this is a longstanding member of our team has recently qualified as a counsellor and hypnotherapist with RASA and has started counselling some of our clients on the waiting list in Liverpool and Sefton.

Another exciting area of staff development since December 2022 is that three of our Sunflowers team have completed EMDR Child and Adolescent training. We are also receiving monthly EMDR child and adolescent supervision from this child specialist trainer and consultant which is proving extremely helpful.

We have been fortunate to receive some funding for counselling which we were able to use to reduce the Sunflowers waiting list, however this funding ended at the end of March. We do expect therefore to see the impact of this funding ending on our waiting lists. However, I am grateful that we have some experienced and talented therapists with RASA who are keen to work with the Sunflowers team, both in Wirral and in Liverpool/Sefton, which helps to reach our clients on the waiting list sooner.

To try to improve access to our service, two of our Sunflowers workers (a counsellor and a CHISVA) have started offering our service from a base in Southport once a week, to accommodate Southport clients who would struggle to make it to Bootle, which is proving to be a popular addition to our services.

A memorable event in February was RASA Sunflowers’ involvement in NOW Fest – the Young People’s Mental Health Festival run by Merseyside Youth Association. The theme this year was Mental Health and Violence Prevention. Two of our Sunflowers clients individually performed speeches at the festival, based on their own lived experience and survival of sexual violence. One piece was entitled ‘Wild Animal,’ and the other was entitled ‘Love, Heartbreak and Post Traumatic Growth.’ Their bravery in addressing a huge audience with their personal accounts was very

RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023

moving, they won an award and were described as a standout performance at the festival.

A continuing challenge is the lack of room availability at our base in Sefton, which can restrict the availability that we could otherwise offer for clients and limits our ability to offer group sessions to children and young people and has, in some cases, prevented us from seeing clients for individual face to face sessions. This situation will improve when we are able to expand premises this year, and we look forward to being able to offer face to face groups, for both young people and parents/caregivers.

Another challenge we are facing is the recruitment of suitable staff. There is one vacancy that we are struggling to fill which is our outreach Power Project worker. Some of the roles at RASA are extremely complex and challenging roles and need very skilled women to fill them.

We have reduced our children’s counselling waiting list in Wirral to 1 month, from 3-4 months in last year. We achieved this through our use of additional counsellors (both volunteer and funded).

In December, I attended a meeting with the Child Sexual Abuse Centre focused on strengthening services for victims and survivors and the challenges in meeting the demand for services. It was encouraging to reflect on the variety of ways in which RASA Sunflowers is providing services to young people whilst they wait for therapy.

In addition to our managing symptoms booklets, we are continuing to offer caregivers a single session of psychoeducation on helping their child

RASA is a Registered Charity Number 1094462 and a Company Limited by Guarantee 04538556

RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023

to recover from trauma, in addition to two new monthly online live events for young people:

1 To support young people in understanding and managing their trauma symptoms, which includes psychoeducation and grounding techniques.

2 Top tips for young people to improve wellbeing. These sessions are available as soon as their initial assessment has been completed following referral. These are delivered monthly by three members of our team.

In Wirral, during the April/May exam season, we are also offering single sessions for coping with exam stress. The plan is to offer this in Sefton/Liverpool when we can accommodate this space-wise, when we expand our premises this year.

I attend bi-monthly Rainbow management meetings with the Alder Hey SARC. In addition to this, I attend regular meetings with the lead clinical psychologist at the SARC and the child therapy lead at RASASC, to promote collaborative working and share good practice. ‘

In April 2023, I attended an event run by UNICEF, focusing on furthering understanding of Children’s rights. Following on from this, I arranged a meeting with Liverpool child friendly city coordinator to consider how RASA Sunflowers can get involved and promote the voice of children and young people within Liverpool.

Our team regularly attends meetings in Wirral, Sefton and Liverpool of voluntary organisations which support children and young people, as well as Every Child Matters forum.

Children’s Services Manager

– Operations Manager an overview by Sophie Gunter

The Operations Manager at RASA is Lorraine Wood. Her role includes strategic development, monthly line management meetings and holding a counselling caseload. She also teaches in the RASA education centre.

RASA is a Registered Charity Number 1094462 and a Company Limited by Guarantee 04538556

RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023

As part of her role, she has undergone development in strategic projects across Liverpool and Sefton – involving Domestic Violence and Sexual violence reduction strategies. She provides initial assessment for new clients as well as managing the volunteer recruitment and training process. At RASA, currently there are around 30 volunteers and 34 staff members, across Liverpool, Sefton, and Wirral.

Over the last 12 months, there have been numerous developments at RASA. A new building has been secured in Bootle, so the current site will be expanded upon, offering more space for clients, staff, volunteers and also for the RASA education service.

There are plans in place for expansion at Wirral at present too. One big improvement over the last year has been the waiting list at RASA. A year ago, adult clients were waiting around 12-18 months for counselling support. Since February 2023, this waiting list has been dramatically reduced to 8-12 weeks.

The counselling service at RASA consists of very highly skilled and trained counsellors who are trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) amongst other modes of counselling.

The counselling service is also able to offer a limited number of additional sessions for clients with more complex needs who require a longer therapeutic input from the service. The counselling service is very specialised and is streamlined on issues of SV only, to make sure it is reaching and supporting the people it sets out to help.

Over the last 12 months, there have been huge developments in regard to issues with Merseyside Police. 120 out of 280 cases have now been reopened, which is a massive achievement, thanks to the hard work and determination of Lorraine and staff at RASA. She had meetings with Keir Starmer and Police and Crime Commissioner in order to be able to achieve this. Alongside Merseyside Police, there by Unknown Author is licensed under are now ISVA clinics being held as monthly meetings with senior police officers.

A further development Lorraine has overseen this year means that RASA also provides lived experience workshops for clients.

Job Title: Liverpool and North Sefton ISVA

Centre(s): Stella Nova Bootle & Southport outreach.

Summary of day-to-day role: Independent Sexual Violence Advisor. Supporting clients through the criminal justice system who have reported or are considering whether to report to the police. Offering impartial practical and emotional support, being client-led, and ensuring clients are aware of their rights and choices within the criminal justice system.

This has been a hugely busy year with an increase in police partnership working and collaboration, as well as additional training responsibilities, including delivering training to the latest cohort of Specially Trained Officers at Merseyside Police Training Academy and the Witness Care Unit.

Being able to advocate effectively for my clients within the criminal justice system and communicate well with the police has always been challenging since starting this role but felt particularly difficult during the past year. As a professional who juggles a busy caseload of clients, often in high-risk or high-need circumstances, I can appreciate how stretched the police are. However, earlier on this year there were some difficult, yet preventable, incidents that arose due to poor communication which have adversely affected my clients.

To address this, the ISVA Service Manager set up a formal feedback form for the ISVA team to complete weekly, highlighting issues to be passed on and fed back to officers. This was facilitated after several meetings set up to discuss how we can effectively work alongside the police and exploring potential barriers to this. The feedback form also offers the opportunity for us to highlight good practice from the police which is a great way to deliver positive feedback to officers who go above and beyond for our clients.

We have set up regular ISVA Clinics across Merseyside in which ISVAs will meet with the officers in charge of their cases to discuss any issues, highlight good practice, and explore difficulties. Since attending these clinics, I have noticed a definite improvement in partnership working between ISVAs and the police which not only creates more open

RASA is a Registered Charity Number 1094462 and a Company Limited by Guarantee 04538556

11

RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023

working relationships, but also helps improve the client experience of the criminal justice process.

I continue to find that most clients engage well and want to continue receiving support as their case progresses. The majority of my caseload opt for regular sessions, most commonly on a three-weekly basis. The two supplementary support services, our Reducing Anxiety, Depression and Stress support group and Listening Ear Service are hugely beneficial for clients who feel they benefit from more frequent support.

Clients I referred spoke about appreciating additional support as these services are supplementary to my ISVA support, and this has also reduced the pressure my busy caseload. The combination of monthly supervision, line management, and ISVA self-care meetings have been hugely beneficial to me continuing to manage my workload and develop good habits, whilst also providing an opportunity to spend time with my new colleagues and feel anchored in the team.

My hope for the next year is that there will be further improvement in communication with the police to have better outcomes for our clients who have taken on the huge undertaking of supporting a police investigation in the midst of their trauma. I am feeling positive and hopeful about strengthening partnership working between ISVAs and Merseyside Police.

11 of my clients cases have been due for court trial this last year – only 3 opted to do a Section 28 (pre-recorded questioning):

Sarah Wood – Wirral Centre Manager – Annual Report 2022/23

It’s been another eventful year, and I would like to share a few highlights:

13

RASA is a Registered Charity Number 1094462 and a Company Limited by Guarantee 04538556

RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023

In April 2022 I completed the Level 2 course for EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) Therapy. I feel very grateful to have had the opportunity to do this training because it has had such a dramatic impact on clients.

I have attended some really useful training sessions this year including non-fatal strangulation, stalking masterclass, and challenging the far right. All of these have been beneficial to client work.

Challenging the far right was actually a train the trainer course so I will be delivering this to all of our staff and volunteers next year.

I delivered 2 workshops as part of the Liverpool Parenting Network around Understanding Child Sexual Abuse. It was part of a pilot offering evening workshops for parents and carers in Liverpool. Somehow the details were circulated far and wide and we had participants from the USA and Australia which enriched the sessions.

I delivered 4 workshops as part of the training offer for the Wirral Safeguarding Children Partnership in relation to understanding child sexual abuse and there was a total of 56 participants. The feedback was positive, and many people commented that they felt more confident about the subject.

The helpline ended in May 2022, which was sad but also the right decision. I had started volunteering on the helpline 17 yrs ago and it was quite remarkable to reflect on how much we have grown as an organisation. The fact that we have been able to signpost clients to the National helpline has helped and it’s open 24hrs a day, 7 days a week.

It’s been nice to attend some face-to-face meetings this year even though the online meetings are more time efficient. One interesting example is

RASA is a Registered Charity Number 1094462 and a Company Limited by Guarantee 04538556

14

RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023

the training in relation to suicide prevention. It appears that there are more of our clients disclosing risk of suicide but there is lots of support available now and this is something that we continue to monitor.

We have developed sound working relationships with many of our partner agencies, particularly with Campaneros crisis café and Spider project. They have been such an invaluable resource for our clients. We have developed a wide range of therapeutic support for clients and have confidence that if people are ready to work through their trauma, we are ready to support them.

I continue to feel very blessed to be a part of RASA and gain so much working with such an eclectic mix of woman with a wealth of experience, passion for the work and who are good fun too!

Liverpool ISVA Case load: 53

This year at RASA has been another one of big changes and adjustments. As a part of the ISVA team, which is still expanding and adapting to new challenges, we haven’t been short of work. We have welcomed again new staff members, including new volunteers for the listening ear service and two new part time assessment officers and staged support workers to help with our ever-growing workloads. I am excited to see how these new team members continue to develop in their roles and as a part of this wonderful team!

Going into my third year as Liverpool ISVA, I can say with confidence that my experience and ability is ever growing and changing. I am proud of what I have been able to achieve on behalf of my clients this year. This has included keeping clients engaged through some extremely difficult and lengthy investigations as well as exceedingly tough court proceedings. Requests for appointments are more frequent than ever, meaning that most clients will opt in for the fortnightly appointments where available; compared to initially when a good number of clients would be using monthly plus check ins etc.

Intensity of workload has reflected this as appointments are crammed in amongst additional duties such as multi agency meetings, numerous emails, supporting letters, police meetings and safeguarding, to name a few.

On a positive note, an important change has been taking place in both police forces and CPS where open communication between myself and other professionals is becoming easier and easier, making this role more effective.

RASA is a Registered Charity Number 1094462 and a Company Limited by Guarantee 04538556

16

RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023

In relation to the above, Id first like to talk about the court process. Coming away from the COVID 19 pandemic, many of my clients have been long-term and suffering through long waits to have investigations completed and receive a court date. At one stage it was becoming clear that the client experience at court was suffering, and court dates were being postponed and adjourned without prior assessment of the seriousness of the crime and vulnerability of the victim. We now have a solid pathway for addressing issues, utilising a new relationship with Senior Prosecutor for RASSO cases Josephine Lazzari. I myself have linked in with Jo on a number of occasions, and she has been instrumental in addressing a number of issues experienced at court.

In one particularly complex case, where a defendant was attempting to evade court consistently, I was able to arrange a meeting between the client and Jo to raise concerns and give the client a voice.

This led a chain of events where the defendant was taken into custody prior to the third court date to ensure his attendance.

Ultimately, this defendant was sentenced to 21 years which may not have happened without both my and Jo’s intervention.

This was a high point in my career, and I have been extremely proud of myself and my client. This has also needed strenuous linking in with Witness Care, who have also been instrumental. At this stage, going to court is mostly seamless. As an ISVA I feel my role is fully understood by most court staff, and my engagement with the process alongside the client is often encouraged and supported; this includes within Section 28 hearings which used to be difficult to have access to as an ISVA.

Second to this, our relationships with Merseyside Police have also improved. An important element of this has been with new police clinics which ISVAs attend on a 6-weekly basis. These clinics allow us to send our caseloads over in advance and get face to face updates from the officers in charge of our cases. Aside from allowing more thorough updates, I feel this has helped to bridge gaps in relationships by allowing us to connect on a better level with police rather than over email. The clinics are still in their early stages, and we have had to make some tweaks, however response has been generally positive and helpful.

17

RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023

Aside from the listening ear service, we have also been able to restart our ISVA RADS (Reducing Anxiety) groups. I had my colleague, Nadia, shadow me in the last round of groups. This will hopefully allow more groups to take place as it will not be relying solely on my availability (which dwindles quickly!). The last round of groups took place in March, and response was very positive. Clients gave feedback that the groups had generated positive changes that they hadn’t previously experience, and all members enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and ability to switch off for six hours over three weeks. Im hopeful that these groups continue well into the coming years.

Another additional role I continue to enjoy is the Nighttime Economy training. We have trained a number of new venues in the city centre and have also begun some police training seminars around the same issue. This training focuses on officers identifying victims and potential perpetrators in the city centre and dealing appropriately with disclosures. The response has been very positive. As an exciting development, we have also been asked to provide this training to staff working the upcoming Eurovision event, which is fantastic!

Going into the next year, I know the team will continue to grow in experience and ability and meet all of the upcoming challenges. With the support of the team, management, and colleagues, I am extremely excited for what is to come for RASA in coming months.

ISVA Service at RASA – a summary by Sophie Gunter

by Unknown Author is licensed under

The ISVA (Independent Sexual Violence Advisor) service at RASA, supports anyone age 18+ who are survivors of sexual violence, who are/are considering going through the criminal justice system (CJS). The service is managed and run by Sarah Tipton.

Clients are supported from their initial assessment through to the end of the CJS process. ISVAs have regular contact and sessions with the people accessing this service, to offer ongoing support through a very difficult and stressful time.

RASA is a Registered Charity Number 1094462 and a Company Limited by Guarantee 04538556

RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023

Alongside the ISVA service is a Listening Ear service, which supplements the support given by ISVAs for those clients who may require a bit of extra support. Currently, the Listening Ear service is provided to clients by 3 volunteers (soon to be 4) and offers 8 consecutive week sessions focusing on the client’s individual needs for emotional support and/or coping strategies.

This can be delivered 1-2-1 but there is also a Listening Ear group run by one of the volunteers, which offers psychoeducation and an opportunity for survivors to connect with other people going through similar challenges. This is run in a 6-week block and is offered in person or online depending on client availability and preference.

The ISVA service also offers a RADS (Reducing Anxiety Depression & Stress) group, which provides similar coping strategies but uses relaxation techniques at the same time. This group is not counselling, but it is delivered by staff members who are qualified counsellors, so they have the right skills to deliver the relaxation techniques used.

Currently, the ISVA service has 2 ISVA Assessment Officers in place. These staff members deal with the incoming referrals, assessing the clients in terms of their needs and safety, then they provide the initial stages of support for clients before passing them on to an ISVA. If there are any high needs or high risks for the client, they are prioritised for assessment as soon as possible, then passed straight to an ISVA so as the service can address those needs.

The ISVA team work alongside other agencies and individuals, such as Police, CPS (Crown Prosecution Service), Witness Care, Witness Service and any other service involved with the CJS.

Over the past 12-18 months, there has been a particular focus from government on issues regarding the CJS and sexual violence cases.

Ongoing research projects have assisted with developing new guidance and consequent procedures being put in place. In Merseyside Police, we now have more established SPOCs (Single Points of Contact) who we can communicate with and develop our partnership work.

RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023

Amongst other things, one of the issues raised with Merseyside Police was about RASA receiving reports from clients about police officers being judgmental and that they have been discouraged from reporting or continuing to report the abuse they’ve suffered. This is still a problem we occasionally hear about and there are ongoing challenges for Merseyside Police in developing their practice. Hopefully with time and the new procedures and guidance in place, this will not continue to be a presenting issue.

After conducting a recent survey with clients, currently around 50% of those reporting sexual violence offences to Merseyside Police, feel their overall experience has been positive. The ISVAs are optimistic this percentage will continue to increase.

RASA provides support to people living across Liverpool, Sefton, and Wirral. In relation to the ISVA support, if a client’s case is approved for court, a large percentage of these will be heard at Liverpool Crown Court.

Before the pandemic, Liverpool Crown Court was one of the pilot courts to have already been using the special measure of a Section 28, which is a prerecorded cross examination. This has now been rolled out nationally and has helped many survivors going through the CJS, as they do not have to be questioned at the court trial.

This can help to lessen anxiety and usually survivors can do this a number of months before a trial, so their part in giving the rest of their evidence is completed sooner.

The ISVA team are very supportive towards one another and work well collaboratively. Their passion and commitment to their role in supporting survivors, is key to the service running at optimal levels with the number of staff and volunteers they have. They have high service standards and regularly review how they can continue to deliver this level of service with any challenges they face and any presenting client needs.

RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023

transition into the next support. The work completed during CHISVA support sessions has provided the safe space for clients to feel comfortable to be able to share their thoughts and feelings. They have felt listened to and that their feelings have been validated. This has laid the foundations for clients to move on to counselling – after establishing trust and feeling ready to engage in this therapeutic process.

I feel that a calm, supportive approach, and respect given to clients and allowing for them to go at their own pace has allowed some clients who have really struggled to engage due to lack of trust in other services, to start to feel that they are supported and are able to break down some of those barriers to communication.

A number of conversations I had with the safeguarding lead at a primary school of a client I am supporting – gave me feedback to say that the conversations we had and the information I provided were invaluable to him and he was extremely grateful of my knowledge that I was able to share to better equipped him to carry out his role.

He was due to have a meeting with some parents from school and informed me that he would not have been able to do so, so effectively without my input. This highlights the huge benefits of working with other professionals- and how, not only is our work vital with our clients- but also to the other professionals that are working with them.

A multi-professional approach – helping to support and safeguard the children that we are working with.

Challenges I have found within my role this year: -

Room availability has been difficult at times – as I have found it frustrating if I have had availability to book a client in – but there are no rooms available. This has led me to changing my booking appts process- as I now book a number of sessions in advance for CHISVA clients – rather than booking one at a time – so this has worked much better. I have found ways to adapt to the challenges to reduce impact to clients.

RASA Project Development Manager – by Sophie Gunter

Helen Leach is RASA’s Project Development Manager. As part of her role, she writes training for RASA staff and volunteers and for RASA education. She also creates bespoke training for other organisations. This content is created via an online platform called Teachable.

Another part of her role is to work alongside other managers at RASA to tackle issues and write new policies and procedures. These can be across a wide range of areas, such as HR and education. She also interviews and trains new staff, volunteers, and trustees. New volunteers are recruited and trained each year at RASA. Helen is also a point of contact for other staff at RASA.

For her work for teachable and RASA education, Helen has developed various training programs which are delivered by Victoria Green, who is the Clinical Lead and Training and Development Manager at RASA. Helen writes the content and Victoria, who is clinical work based, delivers the content to clients.

Recent projects, that have been worked on include a Train the Trainer package, which is a package for school teachers to deliver to students after they have been trained themselves on this. There is also a bystander intervention training programme, a sexual harassment in the workplace programme and a bespoke women’s nighttime safety charter for Manchester, which includes bystander training within it.

On teachable, there are various detailed and very informative and engaging resources on areas such as coping skills after trauma, self-help techniques, information on anxiety, depression, and relationships after sexual violence to name a few. The resources walk you through the content in an interactive and informative way, explaining and giving great examples so individuals can fully understand the content being taught and discussed. There are also printable resources and worksheets covering many aspects of supporting yourself or others after sexual violence.

RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023

The sunflower children’s and young people’s service provides a wide range of support for young survivors of sexual abuse/violence and their families/ carers. The sunflowers service is run and managed by Janet Bunn and is supported by other staff members. There are currently 3 CHISVAs – 1 full time and 2 part time, covering Liverpool, Sefton, and Wirral.

CHISVAs are Children’s Independent Sexual Violence Advisors and help and support young people and their families/carers to navigate the CJS (Criminal Justice System).

They support from the initial assessment right through to the end of the CJS process. They are also able to offer counselling and further sessions afterwards as well. The CHISVA service does not have a waiting list, meaning children and young people can get support from the service straight away, without delay.

In the last 12 months, the number of support sessions for children and young people has been increased. There are now 3 live sessions a month which last an hour each and bookings are made in advance for these. In addition, there are once monthly sessions run by the sunflowers manager for caregivers to help them to support their child / young person.

There is also a psychoeducation session run once a month by one of the team members to support young people and also there is a “life hacks for wellbeing” session run once monthly to support and provide self-care tips for teenagers who have gone through sexual violence/abuse.

There is also an online self -study course for caregivers to enable them to have better skills and strategies to support the young person and this is a multi-agency approach, with input from RASA staff, RASASC staff and clinical psychology from the Rainbow Centre at Alder Hey Children’s

Hospital.

The sunflower service offers counselling for children from age 6 up to age 18 years. It also offers support for children under 6 years old but in this case the work is done with the caregiver for them to then support the child, due to the very young age of the child. The therapy is tailored to the child’s needs and follows a trauma-informed care approach.

Recruitment is in place for a power project worker. This is an outreach role where children and young people are supported who are finding it difficult to engage in services. Psychoeducation, as well as emotional support and

therapy is offered, and this service is delivered across Liverpool, Sefton, and Wirral. The sunflower service also links in with the Parents Protect service run by RASA.

Year End Report April 2022- April 2023 Rachael Crowder Children’s ISVA

New skills/qualifications I have acquired in this year.

I have completed my level 2 in counselling within RASA Education and have recently started my ISVA development course -training with Lime culture which is online every month and runs up until the end of July 2023.

I also have started to fully immerse myself into the children’s ISVA role supporting my colleague with having face to face clients and also telephone sessions. I have built up a case load of 30 clients and have maintained clients for a number of sessions in Sefton and Liverpool area.

I have attended my first TAF (Team around the Family) meetings in schools with other agencies which has improved my communication skills and general team working abilities.

In addition to this having regular contact with other agencies day to day as part of the new ISVA role I am currently in has triggered lots of progression personally and professionally.

My knowledge and development this year

When I first started at RASA I attended the Rainbow centre at Alder Hey. I was not aware of its existence so having that opportunity has been very

26

RASA is a Registered Charity Number 1094462 and a Company Limited by Guarantee 04538556

RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023

insightful and helps me transfer that knowledge when supporting ISVA clients/ assessment.

I have completed a lot of zoom training for specific areas such as suicide prevention, mental health, domestic violence, graded care profile 2 to name a few. In person we had cyber awareness demonstrated by Merseyside police which was very helpful to have the information given in person.

Multi-agency networking events I have attended in this year.

I attended a TAF meeting on behalf of an ISVA client within her high school- this was very insightful and helped me gather information around the client from other agencies- it was helpful to have the first experience so that I now have that to prepare me for future meetings and how best to prepare.

I have attended team meetings online with social worker, parent and other agencies that are working with the family as part of child protection.

Again, this is brilliant to enable me to build up my professional confidence and also have the valuable experience to put into practice in future multi agency meetings.

Things that have gone well this year

I have had the pleasure of supporting a young person make his report to the police over the phone which was very much a new experience for myself and opened my eyes up to my own areas needed for development but also instilled more self confidence that I have had a positive impact on the client and gave them a safe supported environment to enable them to make that decision and make that first step.

I have attended a number of events outside of RASA building on my own whereby other agencies are there – this has helped me feel more empowered within my role and I have gained a number of transferrable skills.

I have seen a shift in clients who have consistently come back to sessions which is rewarding to see them engaging and also noticing a change in themselves.

27

RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023

Being able to have a room in Southport on a Wednesday has been brilliant so that I can see Sefton based clients with a guaranteed free day to book them in there consistently.

Overall creating that first sense of safety and support for the survivor or the relative whom I am on the telephone assessment with as it is sometimes their first time they have spoken to someone and are feeling very vulnerable. I like to think I am building up a good rapport to start the process of the support and help the parent or guardian or client all feel listened to and valued.

Challenges this year.

Self- confidence- as this can hinder a number of things; especially given I transferred over to the ISVA role without the initial training which was a great way to learn.

Maintaining the organisation from being assessment officer to ISVA and ensuring everyone is contacted in time and booked in – especially given that everyone will respond at different times and there is a constant limit on room bookings in Bootle.

New skills/qualifications acquired.

During the course of the last year, I undertook my CBT Level 5 training and have secured this qualification. Being able to integrate these skills into my counselling practice with Sunflowers clients has been beneficial to my practice. I also completed Helen Millar’s Counselling Children and

RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023

Young People course, which was very useful in consolidating the experience I have already gained and provide me with some new knowledge and skills.

Knowledge development

Both training courses mentioned above have been invaluable in the development of my knowledge and I have also continued to attend training for professionals provided by the local council safeguarding teams, such as LSCP (Liverpool), SSCP (Sefton) and WSCP (Wirral).

Multi-agency networking events attended.

One of the highlights of the last year for me was attending “The Big Learn”, hosted by the Wirral Safeguarding Children Partnership, at the Flora Pavilion in New Brighton. This was a two-day event wherein any and all services that work with children and young people on the Wirral had stalls and were able to network with each other, as well as attending talks provided by different professionals.

Things that have gone well

I have continued to see positive outcomes with clients who have provided lovely feedback at times, which has boosted my confidence further in my practice. Particularly rewarding has been some outcomes with clients with whom I felt unsure as to whether they were feeling any benefit from the sessions, to then find at their conclusion that they had been.

“RASA has helped me with my anxiety about going places and has made me less fearful to open up about the incident. The support has also helped me to understand my feelings are valid too.”

“Katie was amazing and always listened to me and helped me through my struggles and she does an amazing job.”

One of the best pieces of feedback I received this year has been from a parent, after their daughters’ sessions concluded:

“I just want to thank you so much for your genuine care and the invaluable support that you have given to [client]. We both know that this has helped her in so many ways to be more aware with increased selfconfidence and self-esteem. Thank you so much.”

29

RASA MERSEYSIDE ANNUAL REPORT YEAR TO 31-03-2023

I have really appreciated again the opportunities provided for gaining knowledge and qualifications, and the increased number of self-care occasions.

Challenges within your role

In recent months there has been an increase in the number of clients and professionals asking or hoping for EMDR therapy to be part of their treatment at RASA. Whilst I am confident in the sufficiency of personcentred counselling to be of service to clients at RASA, my being unable to deliver EMDR has felt like a deficiency at times. I intend to seek accreditation with the BACP so that I may then be able to acquire qualification in this technique.

Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)

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
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
Offsetting
Grants and donations
Legacies
Government grants
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
Donated goods
Support costs
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
Volunteer help
· 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.
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 are only included in the SoFA when the general income
recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
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 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.
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.
Contractual income and
performance related
grants
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.
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 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.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations
when receivable.
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.
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 value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described
in the trustees’ annual report.
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.

Intangible fixed assets
They are valued at cost.
Heritage assets
They are valued at cost.
Investments
Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other
benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as
income from charitable activities.
Settlement of insurance
claims
Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria 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.
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.
Governance and support
costs
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.
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.
Grants with performance
conditions
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of
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.
Grants payable without
performance conditions
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to
realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be
recognised.
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade
discounts
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently
measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the
reporting date
Basic financial
instruments
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per
paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17
to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.
Tangible fixed assets for
use by charity
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
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.
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
progress
Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net
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.

Current asset investments
They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments.

cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and
