Organisational structure and management

The organisation operates as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), registered on 14th February 2023 with the Charity Commission. The organisation is governed by the Trustees, who determine strategic direction and policy. The day to day operation is carried out by employees

.

Appointment of trustees

The Trustees are appointed under the rules of the constitution. There must be a minimum of three and a maximum of nine Trustees. The current Trustees were appointed at the inauguration meeting.

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the Charity is exposed to and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

Activities and achievements

Please see attached annual report for information regarding activities and achievements.

Plans for the future

2026 to 2027 promises to be an exciting year of development for us as a forum. Building on our enhanced information offering to parents and carers over the past year and increasing our PPO numbers to 6, we are now looking to demonstrate real impact at service and development level. North Yorkshire Council has appointed a new Corporate Director, Children and Young People's Service and a new Assistant Director for Partnerships and Sufficiency and both have reached out to work with us to support our need to be more involved with Strategy and Development within North Yorkshire's services. This will ensure that future proposals and initiatives for SEND Reform and strategy development have the voice of North Yorkshire's parents and carers at their heart. We will continue to increase and develop our engagement with parents, carers and professionals over the coming year and are investigating new avenues to improve our support offering including building relationships with CAMHS and Social Care. We're excited about the challenges for the year ahead!

Reserves policy

The trustees have set a level equivalent to six months of full operating costs for the organisation as a desired level of reserve. This fund is a contingency in the event of a sudden reduction in income, in order to protect the future operation of the organisation from the effects of any unforeseen variations in its income and expenditure. It also provides a cash flow for grants and contracts that are paid in arrears.

At the year end 2026, predicted designated minimum reserves amounted to £25,042. These funds have been set aside in the Designated Funds in the accounts.

The policy is reviewed by Trustees on an annual basis.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which 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.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

1 Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis and in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and related Regulations. As the charity's level of income is below £250,000 the management Trustees have opted for the accounts to be prepared in a receipts and payment basis. This is in accordance with the Charity Commission guidelines for small charities and is seen as more appropriate for this project.

1.2 Fund Accounting

Incoming resources that may be applied for the charities general purposes are treated as unrestricted incoming resources and are credited to the unrestricted fund. Where a donation or grant is required to be used for a specific purpose, the amount concerned is treated as restricted income and is credited to the appropriate restricted fund.

2 Tangible fixed assets

There are no fixed assets during the period of these accounts.

3 Trustees remuneration, benefits and expenses
