Children’s Domestic Abuse Service (CIO) is focusing on developing our therapeutic approach by engaging with academics in child psychology and improving core activities by building on our case studies to further inform how we approach our therapy practice. We are heavily focused on carrying out reviews of children’s talking therapy with a long-term view to develop and expand use of this approach. We are subsequently working on creating new campaigns capable of supporting the roll out of more free sessions for a wider number of children.
Children’s Domestic Abuse Service (CIO) is expanding its reach and capabilities by collaborating with partner organisations that can help us achieve our objectives in an efficient and effective manner. We are providing grants to these organizations to support their efforts.
The trustees have agreed that Children’s Domestic Abuse Service (CIO) should broaden its offerings to appeal to a wider financial support base.

## **Trustees' Responsibilities Statement**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report was approved by the trustees.
