UK Faculty of Public Health 2021 Annual Report

Introduction from the President and CEO

2021 was another challenging year for public health, but also one which demonstrated the resilience and dedicated professionalism of our members in driving forward work to protect and improve health for all.

Across the UK and overseas Faculty members have delivered under immense pressure, tackling the threat of COVID-19 and working to address the health inequalities that the pandemic has exacerbated.

We thank all members for the work you have delivered during 2021, and we particularly thank those members who have volunteered their time and expertise to work with the Faculty. The achievements outlined in the following report are only possible because of your commitment to the Faculty and to the public health profession.

With the Faculty in a strong financial position, we are pleased to have been able to freeze membership and examination fees for a third consecutive year in recognition of the outstanding work our members have delivered.

With the number of applications to public health training having surged during the pandemic, we were immensely proud to receive the ASPHER Directors and Deans’ Good Practice Award in recognition of the UK Public Health Specialty Training Scheme. We thank all members who support the training scheme as assessors, examiners, and through other roles.

With the COVID-19 pandemic having delayed the scheduled 2020 curriculum review, we were pleased to be able to deliver this review during 2021 and thank members of the Curriculum Review Committee for their leadership on this work.

Having suspended formal CPD requirements in recognition of the pressures faced by our members in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Faculty’s CPD committee drafted significant changes to our CPD Policy during 2021. The changes, which seek to better support our members’ reflective practise, were approved by the Faculty Board in February 2022.

With the support of our members the Faculty has delivered a range of important work this year, including continuing to adapt Faculty business in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

All Faculty examinations were delivered online during 2021, allowing us to continue to support the next generation of public health professionals and assure the highest possible standards in public health practise.

In addition to our core areas of work on examinations, training and standard setting, the Faculty has continued to advocate in the interests of public health and our members.

We led cross-sector calls for domestic and global COVID-19 vaccine equity, calling on Government to release at least 30% of the UK vaccine supply to low-income countries. We were delighted that the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges adopted and supported this call.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2021 Annual Report

With the Public Health Grant announced in March 2021, we raised concerns that the allocation of £3.3bn in public health funding for local authorities was inadequate in supporting local public health teams in delivering services stretched to breaking point by the pandemic. Also during this period the English Public Health system underwent fundamental changes; the Faculty joined with partner organisations to lobby for a strong, properly-resourced system with clear lines of accountability and a strong leadership role for Directors of Public Health.

We also delivered on other key policy areas including climate change, anti-racism, and mental health. We thank all of our members who work with us to drive forward this work through our Committees and Special Interest Groups.

The Faculty also focussed on core operational projects including upgrading our office infrastructure and redesigning our membership IT systems.

We hope that you enjoy reading about all the Faculty work during this busy year, and we thank the Faculty Board, staff team, Officer Group, Committees, SIGs, and all members for their support and hard work during 2021.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2021 Annual Report

Training

Over the past 12 months the Education & Training team has continued to work with officers and committee members to ensure that the Faculty supports delivery of the public health specialty training scheme to the highest standard.

2021 saw a growth in the number of registrars enrolling in the training scheme and the numbers we recommended for CCT to our regulators, the UK Public Health Register and the GMC. 105 new registrars were enrolled on the training scheme and 79 registrars were recommend for CCT.

The curriculum was approved in early 2022 and the Curriculum Review Committee has turned its attention to the implementation of the curriculum, developing a workplan to deliver it by summer 2022. This process will see stakeholders at all levels be invited to take part, to ensure that the implementation process is carried out with minimum disruption to Registrars. FPH thanks the Curriculum Review Committee for their time and expertise in delivering this work.

Examinations

We continued to work closely with our stakeholders, Registrars, Heads of School, and Training Programme Directors to deliver training during the pandemic. Throughout the year we held regular meetings with these groups to listen and responded to their concerns, which included transfer of PHE training placements and approaches to remote working.

Recruitment

Recruitment is a national process run by Health Education England, with FPH providing advice and oversight of standards. All assessors are Faculty members and we thank them for volunteering their time to support this important Faculty work. During 2021, 105 people were recruited to the training scheme. We continue to lobby for an increase in training numbers for public health specialty training.

Review of the specialty training curriculum

With COVID-19 having delayed the curriculum review process in 2020, the Faculty was able to support the Curriculum Review Committee in the completion of this work during 2021. The Faculty submitted the revised curriculum to both of our regulators, the GMC and the UKPHR, for review and approval.

We continued to successfully deliver the Diplomate and Final Membership Exams during the last 12 months, with the Examinations team working closely with the Exam Development Committees to continually improve processes and provide support for Registrars.

By the close of the year the Faculty had delivered two sittings of the Diplomate Exam and five sittings of the Final Membership Exam. In total 168 candidates for the Diplomate Exam and 101 candidates for the Final Membership exam took part in the online exams.

The Faculty would like to acknowledge the continued support that members gave as examiners and committee members during 2021, with 63 people giving up their time to ensure that the Faculty was able to deliver high quality exams.

It was agreed that whilst the written Diplomate exam should remain online, the Final Membership Exam would return to an in-person format in 2022. Though the exam was delivered successfully throughout 2021, the Faculty acknowledged that due to limitations with the exam platform and the resources required to deliver the exam, it should return to in-person delivery.

The FPH exams team and the Final Membership Exam Development Committee will take this opportunity to review and improve how we deliver the exam in person, taking into account accessibility and sustainability.

  • was able to support this expansion through approval of job descriptions and the provision of a senior, impartial representative on consultant and DPH interview panels

n Review the Workforce Strategy

• This work was delayed due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our members

10

UK Faculty of Public Health 2020 Annual Report

Senior appointments

FPH works to maintain standards in public health by reviewing and approving consultant-level job descriptions and by providing external assessors for interview panels.

FPH continued to see a surge in senior public health appointments over the past 12 months. During 2021, 57 different FPH Fellows sat on 278 Advisory Appoint Committee interview panels in their role as Assessors. This is an increase of 44% from 2020 and an increase of 175% since 2019. The Faculty approved 286 job descriptions throughout 2021, compared to 244 in 2020 and 160 in 2019.

The Faculty delivered three remote Faculty Assessor training days to ensure capacity for this vital role. FPH thanks all Faculty Advisors and Assessors for their work to support the highest possible standards in public health.

During 2021, FPH reviewed and amended its revalidation and appraisal policies to better support our connected members with their revalidation, streamline our documentation, and reflect the latest guidelines by regulatory bodies. The changes will come into effect on 1 April 2022.

Workforce

Recognising the pressures faced by the public health workforce in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, in April 2021 FPH ran a wellbeing survey for members. The survey received 784 responses. The report was published at the end of the year and made recommendations for employers to better support the health and wellbeing of the public health workforce. FPH thanks the Registrar group who supported delivery of this work for their important contribution to improving workforce wellbeing.

Public Health Accredited Practitioner

CPD

In recognition of the continued pressures faced by FPH members in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board extended the suspension of formal CPD requirements until March 2022. Members were encouraged to continue to record their CPD as usual where possible.

The Faculty took this suspension as an opportunity to assess its current CPD policy. The CPD committee drafted significant changes to the CPD policy and these were approved by the Faculty Board in February 2022 with the new arrangements being implemented in April 2022.

Masterclasses

The Public Health Accredited Practitioner Masterclasses are organised by the Faculty in conjunction with the Statutory Education Bodies. The masterclasses are an introduction to the basic concepts of public health for those who are new to the topic, as well as serving as a refresher course for experienced practitioners. In response to the pandemic, the masterclasses were successfully moved to an online environment during 2020 and online delivery continued throughout 2021. There has been a major expansion in the number of courses commissioned, with 93 workshops delivered during 2021, an increase of 158% from 2020.

Revalidation

FPH reintroduced annual appraisal for all from 1 April 2021 after offering connected members who were involved in the pandemic an approved missed appraisal in 2020. During 2021, the Faculty acted as the designated revalidation body for 114 members, made 27 positive revalidation recommendations to the GMC and held 73 appraisals.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2020 Annual Report

COVID-19

During 2021, FPH has supported our members who have been at the forefront of the UK’s response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout the year, FPH has both advised and held Government to account on actions taken to tackle the virus.

In February 2021, as the vaccine programme rolled out, the Faculty led calls for vaccine equity and the removal of barriers preventing disadvantaged and marginalised groups from accessing vaccines. Shortly after, the Faculty led the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges in calling for global vaccine equity and the release of at least 30% of the UK vaccine supply to low income countries.

With the Public Health Grant announced in March 2021, we raised concerns that the allocation of £3.3bn in public health funding for local authorities was not enough to allow local public health teams to tackle the challenges they faced as a result of the pandemic.

We joined with the local government community, public health and the medical organisations to express concern about the Government’s winter COVID-19 plans as infection rates grew rapidly in the autumn.

Throughout the year we engaged with media to advocate for a proper public health response to COVID-19 and to hold Government to account when this lacked. We called for a more focussed and effective test and trace system, highlighted the consequences of inadequate support for deprived communities, and reminded Government of the need to act with a global focus to tackle COVID-19.

We were also happy to recognise the achievements of our members in tackling the pandemic through our COVID-19 certificate, which received over 700 applications.

Climate and Health

In 2021, we launched our climate and health strategy which will embed climate change and sustainability in all parts of the Faculty’s work. FPH’s Climate & Health Committee and Sustainable Development Special Interest Group also joined together to host a major webinar on what climate change and health means for the public health community. The Faculty attended COP26 in Glasgow with observer status, having consulted with Faculty members on our public stance at COP. We were also delighted to announce that Greta Thunberg accepted an Honorary Membership of the Faculty. We thank the Climate and Health Committee and Sustainable Development Special Interest Group for their outstanding leadership and hard work in this area.

Advocacy work in Scotland

During 2021, the Committee of the Faculty of Public Health in Scotland (CFPHS) continued to support the public health workforce in Scotland as they respond to the direct and indirect impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

CFPHS wrote to all Educational Supervisors in Scotland to support them in delivery of their educational roles during the pandemic response and the FPH in Scotland 2021 conference was rescheduled to May 2022 to avoid adding stress to an overstretched workforce.

In January 2021, CFPHS wrote a letter to Professor Burns, BMA President, expressing the support of FPH membership in Scotland for the JCVI recommended prioritisation of initial dose vaccination for a wider population, and subsequent change in government policy.

Ahead of the Scottish Parliamentary elections in May 2021 CFPHS published a briefing for prospective MSPs. The briefing highlighted that whilst Scotland has shown public health leadership on issues such as a smoking ban in public places, Minimum Unit Pricing for alcohol and the Child Poverty Act, there is still much work to do to tackle health inequalities in Scotland and mitigate the impacts of COVID-19. Following the briefing, CFPHS representatives held meetings with several Members of Scottish Parliament.

FPH thanks the CFPHS and all members in Scotland for their work during 2021.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2021 Annual Report

Advocacy work in Wales

Over the past 12 months the Committee of the Faculty of Public Health in Wales (CFPHW) has provided support to members regarding the restructure of part of Public Health Wales and the move of local Public Health Teams to local Health Boards in September 2022.

A Programme Board and stakeholder engagement panel are focussing on issues including safeguarding and improving standards in public health across all domains, ring fencing of resources for three years moving into the acute sector, proposals to merge two directorates by March 2023, and continuity of training placements. In light of the changes the CFPHW’s Terms of Reference will be reviewed with members across Wales.

Specialty Training support and leadership has continued throughout the pandemic due to the dedication of Faculty members in Wales. There was a very successful Virtual Training Conference held in November which was well attended and supported across Wales. FPH President Professor Maggie Rae was pleased to meet with Angela Jones, Convenor of CFPHW during 2021, and thanks all members in Wales for their work over the past year.

Advocacy work in Northern Ireland

2021 remained a busy year for Faculty members in Northern Ireland as they continued to respond to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. This resulted in new ways of working to support the acute response and maintain existing work streams. Alongside this, the Faculty in Northern Ireland was pleased to respond to consultations on the proposal to introduce Duty of Candour and Climate Change legislation.

The Faculty in Northern Ireland welcomed the FPH President, Treasurer and Chief Executive on a virtual visit including a meeting with senior Department of Health officials to look to the future of public health in Northern Ireland.

From a trainee perspective, 2021 marked the first multidisciplinary trainees recruited to the training programme. Trainees have continued to play an integral role in the COVID-19 response alongside secondments to UKHSA and UK Field Epidemiology Training Programme. The Faculty in Northern Ireland congratulates trainees on their exam successes this year.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2021 Annual Report

English Public Health System

2021 saw fundamental changes for the public health system in England with Public Health England being disbanded and two new bodies created, the UK Health Security Agency and the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities.

Throughout the year, FPH joined with partner organisations to lobby for a strong local system, with a key leadership role for Directors of Public Health, supported by an effective regional and national system with clear lines of communications and accountability.

The Faculty responded to the Government’s Health and Care White Paper, raising concerns about privatisation of NHS services and noting a missed opportunity to place public health at the heart of the nation’s recovery from the pandemic.

FPH thanks all members in England for their professionalism and their dedication to protecting and improving the health of the populations they serve during a challenging year.

Special Interest Groups

Throughout 2021, our Special Interest Groups continued to produce a wide range of outstanding work. Some highlights included:

• n Our Drugs SIG led a call across the medical profession, law enforcement, drugs organisations and academics for the legalisation of overdose prevention centres (consumption rooms). The call was widely publicised and gained national recognition

• n The Equality and Diversity SIG led a series of workstreams looking at the under and overrepresentation of different ethnicities amongst Registrars and consultants and the barriers to progression in public health

• n The Public Mental Health SIG provided a comprehensive response to the proposal for the reform of the Mental Health Act

• n The Primary Care and Public Health SIG led an outstanding series of webinars on the links between public health and general practice

Membership Fees

In December 2021 FPH was delighted to announce to members that there would be no increase in membership subscriptions or exam fees during 2022 – the third consecutive year we have been able to freeze fees.

Global health

FPH thanks the Global Health Committee, chaired by Professor Neil Squires, for its excellent work on the Faculty’s global agenda.

In response to COVID-19, FPH has supported information exchange and advocated strongly for equitable access to vaccines.

The Faculty has continued to foster collaboration with ASPHER, IANPHI and WHO to develop the public health workforce and strengthen institutions and systems essential for global health security. This has included support of a WHO-convened meeting to develop a roadmap for strengthening public health workforce capacity linked to strengthening country capacity to deliver the essential public health operations. The meeting included WHO HQ and regional representation from AFRO, PAHO, SEARO, EMRO and EURO and highlighted the importance of professionalisation of the public health workforce, as well as the value of competency-based training for a multidisciplinary public health workforce, able to engage at local, national and global levels.

Our global health Special Interest Groups have been active in supporting colleagues internationally, particularly in relation to the pandemic. Some highlights include:

• n Engagement by the Sudan SIG in the publication of a special issue of the UK Sudan Doctors Union journal on COVID-19, which was largely authored by members of the SIG

UK Faculty of Public Health 2021 Annual Report

Treasurer’s report

Presenting my sixth (and final!) report as FPH Treasurer, I am pleased to report that the Faculty achieved an unrestricted surplus of £449,104 in 2021 before investment gains.

Income was up on 2020 mainly due to increased membership subscription income (despite membership fees being frozen for the third year) and increased Practitioner Master Class income.

Overall, unrestricted costs were about 5% up on 2020, partly due to increased costs relating to training courses and also one-off office refurbishment costs incurred in preparation for a return to office working.

Key objectives set out in the Faculty Financial Strategy have been achieved. A recent Board Report has discussed the financial and non-financial utility of pursuing the various outstanding issues in the strategy in forthcoming years, and also has considered the impact of the pandemic on the strategy.

A prudent budget has been set for next year and I have confidence that the improvement of the financial health of the Faculty should continue. I look forward to handing over my responsibilities to the new Treasurer and wish him success in his role.

Total investment returns on unrestricted funds were £152,448.

The trustees have agreed a programme of improvements to our systems and the accounts show a transfer of £485,000 from unrestricted reserves to a designated Systems Development fund to provide for anticipated future costs. This programme started in 2021 and an initial £39,550 was spent developing a new CRM system which went live this February.

Financial summary

In looking at our financial statements, the most important figures to consider are those in the columns headed ‘unrestricted funds’. These are the sums that are fully available for FPH to use for our operational activities. The other types of funds we report in our accounts have various restrictions placed on them, and they cannot be used for everyday activity. Some of these funds resource our prizes whilst others relate directly to grant-based projects and only become available once the project has been undertaken.

The unrestricted surplus before investment gains (see below) was £449,104; this compares with an unrestricted surplus in 2020 before investment gains of £226,983.

The total surplus for the year before investment gains was £397,272 compared with a surplus of £212,342 in 2020. The overall surplus after investment returns amounted to £564,835 compared with an overall surplus of £230,162 in 2020. This is reported in the two columns on the far right of the Statement of Financial Activities.

Investments

Our investments are managed by Smith and Williamson Investment Managers. The key objectives of the FPH investment policy are:

1. Achieve an annual unrestricted income of at least £30, 000 from dividends and interest (though it is recognised that this is ambitious in the current climate, and we have revised our forecasts accordingly.)

2. Achieve a return on investment at least in line with inflation within an acceptable level of risk.

3. Where feasible, to channel investments into sectors that promote and support public health objectives whilst maintaining acceptable returns.

Unrestricted investment income in 2021 was £20,935 down from £21,678 in 2020 and the total return on investments was 13% (2020 3%) and more than offset the dividends shortfall.

Unrestricted reserves

Unrestricted funds at 31 December (excluding designated funds) totalled £1,610,519 representing 12.1 months of normal operational expenditure and 79% of yearly unrestricted turnover.

We continue to aim to maintain reserves of at least 6 months normal operational expenditure.

Other reserves

The following amounts were held at 31 December 2021:

	Designated funds	£613,889
	Restricted funds	£138, 283
	Endowment funds	£54,167

Designated Funds

A designated fund is a “ring fencing” by the trustees of existing unrestricted funds for a particular project or use by the Faculty.

Details of funds are shown in Note 15 to the accounts.

Impact of COVID-19 and Financial sustainability

The financial impact of the pandemic on the Faculty in 2021 was successfully mitigated. I have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the future finances of the charity and concluded that the envisaged changes to staff working practices, increased teleconferencing and exams should have a small recurrent benefit on the Faculty budget. In 2020 and 2021, the Faculty successfully moved to online exam sittings and henceforth the Diplomate exam will continue online but the Membership exam will revert to an in-person format.

We have prepared a cash flow forecast to 31 December 2022 and are confident that we can maintain our financial solvency whilst investing in IT system improvements.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2021 Annual Report

Risk management

The Faculty has a risk register which is updated on a regular basis by managers. The register is then reviewed at the quarterly meetings of the Risk Management, Audit & Finance Committee (RMAFC) who pay particular attention to all highrisk items. Our risk management process complies with the best practice as set out in the latest guidance from the Charity Commission. Significant risks to the Faculty include:

The Risk Management Audit and Finance Committee is satisfied with the level of risk and the management controls in place to reduce the risks. In financial terms the risks to the organisation are not significant and the future of the Faculty is closely linked to the future development of the Public Health Specialty over time.

Committee issues

• 1) Operation: COVID-19 continues to impact the Faculty’s operational activity. The Faculty has mitigated the impact of this by continuing to deliver services to our membership and the specialty whilst working remotely.

Mitigation: We have developed our digital offering and our membership and committee engagement and our exams are now delivered digitally.

• 2) Operation: The Faculty recognises that there are risks associated with our IT functions and has designated funds for necessary upgrades which need to be implemented in the coming years. There will be additional demand on internal resources while the development takes place.

Mitigation: A Program Board has been appointed by the trustees to have oversight of all major projects. We are also filling posts that were vacant during the last 12 months.

• 3) Reputation/Operation: There is a reputational and operational risk to the Faculty that the required development of a new CPD diary and ePortfolio platform, will result in an inferior experience for users and/or loss of functionality/access to data.

Mitigation: This project is being closely managed through the Programme Board.

The RMAFC has developed a comprehensive work plan which is RAG rated. A Remuneration Committee set up in 2016 has operated satisfactorily.

VAT

From 2016, FPH has been VAT registered.

Audit

I am pleased to report that we received an unqualified audit report for the year.

Thanks

This is my final report as Faculty Treasurer. It has been a privilege to have undertaken the role. I am pleased with the progress made during my two terms as Treasurer, including significant improvements in our financial position and ethical investing.

These achievements have been due to many factors but in particular, I wish to pay credit to the support I have received from the Faculty finance staff, the Chief Executive, the Deputy Chief Executive, the President and Faculty Board and the members of the RMAFC.

• 4) Reputation and Financial: The Faculty stores and processes membership data. We strive to protect data by complying with the General Data Protection Regulations.

Mitigation: Any new processes and services are required to have robust security as standard. The Faculty purchases cyber security insurance. We also mitigate against noncompliance by having a data management strategy including the annual mandatory training for staff. The workplan for 2022 includes appointing an Information Governance Partner to mitigate this risk further.

Governance

The Faculty of Public Health (FPH) is a faculty of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK, the latter consisting of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow and the Royal College of Physicians of London. FPH is a registered charity (charity number 263894) and its governing instrument is its Standing Orders.

The charity has given due consideration to Charity Commission published guidance on the operation of the Public Benefit requirement.

The trustees are the voting members of the FPH Board. Three trustees are appointed by the parent colleges. The President and Vice President are elected by the membership through a single transferable vote system. The remaining officers are elected by the trustees. All officers are elected for a term of three years and, with the exception of the President, can stand for a further two-year term.

The remaining trustees are elected in accordance with the terms of Standing Orders 37-42 and the detailed procedures for the timetable and the single transferable vote system as agreed by the Board. The trustees who served during 2021 are listed in appendix 1.

Following their election, the trustees are presented with the FPH trustee handbook, given a briefing by the President and other officers as appropriate and given the opportunity to discuss administrative details further at the FPH offices. The trustees are also invited to spend time with FPH staff so that they can gain an understanding of how the organisation works.

The Board meets five times a year, once after the Annual General Meeting in accordance with Standing Order 49, three times to discuss general matters and a fifth time as an away day. The functions and powers of the Board are detailed in Standing Orders 50 and 52.

The vision and mission of the charity were updated in 2019 as part of the development of the FPH strategy for 2020-2025.

The Executive Committee carries out the functions set out in Standing Order 63, which include the power to act on behalf of the Board at the request of the President on matters of urgency.

A number of other standing committees are appointed by the Board to provide the structure to support the principal purposes of the organisation and are, in general, chaired by the officer with responsibility for that function.

Sub-committees and special committees with a limited lifespan may be appointed by the Board to assist it in any matter. All committees report to the Board via the Executive Committee. The committee structure in 2021 is set out in appendix 2.

FPH relies heavily on its members who work voluntarily on committees and are appointed into posts to take forward the work programme.

The Chief Executive is appointed and removed by the Board and is responsible for the day-to-day management of the staff and FPH headquarters in accordance with guidelines agreed by the Board.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2021 Annual Report

Statement of trustees’ responsibilities

Status

The Faculty of Public Health of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom is a registered charity. Its charity number is 263894.

The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the Annual Report and Financial Statements in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and 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. 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.

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards) and applicable law.

Under charity law, the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its net outgoing resources for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

Maggie Rae President

• n select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently

• n make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent

• n state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements

• n prepare the financial statements on the going-concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue to operate

30

UK Faculty of Public Health 2021 Annual Report

Independent auditor’s report

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Faculty of Public Health (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet, statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on The Faculty of Public Health’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

In our opinion, the financial statements:

• n Give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended

• n Have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice

• n Have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other Information

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

31

UK Faculty of Public Health 2021 Annual Report

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• n The information given in the trustees’ annual report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements;

• n Sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or

• n The financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

• n We have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities set out in the trustees’ annual report, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are set out below.

Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

• n We enquired of management and the Risk Management, Audit and Finance Committee, which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the charity’s policies and procedures relating to:

32

UK Faculty of Public Health 2021 Annual Report

• Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;

• Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud;

• The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.

• n We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.

• n We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the charity from our professional and sector experience.

• n We communicated applicable laws and regulations throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.

• n We reviewed any reports made to regulators.

• n We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

• n We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.

• n In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org. uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed

UK Faculty of Public Health 2021 Annual Report

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 December 2021

1 Accounting policies

a) Statutory information

The Faculty of Public Health is an unincorporated charity registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales. The registered office address is 4 St. Andrews Place, London, NW1 4LB.

b) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP FRS 102), The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

In applying the financial reporting framework, the trustees have made a number of subjective judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates. Estimates and judgements are continually

evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The nature of the estimation means the actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. Any significant estimates and judgements affecting these financial statements are detailed within the relevant accounting policy below.

c) Public benefit entity

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

d) Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This is on the basis of the level of cash and investments held by the Faculty, in addition to an anticipated surplus in the year to 31 December 2022.

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

e) Income

Incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) on the following basis:

• Membership subscriptions - amounts received in the current year and relating to the current year’s subscriptions.

• Examination and training fees - amounts received in the current year and relating to examinations and courses held in the current year.

• Revalidation fees, donations and legacies, gift aid and investment income - amounts received in the current year.

• Journal of Public Health and other income - amounts receivable where the Faculty is legally entitled to the income and the amounts can be reasonably quantified and the transfer of funds is probable.

Subscriptions, examination fees and other income received in advance of the related activity are deferred.

f) Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

g) Fund accounting

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.

Endowment funds are perpetual funds where only the income generated from them is used for operational pusposes. Capital growth / loss is adjusted to the value of the funds. Authority to change their nature and status lies with the donors.

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 December 2021

h) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

• Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of delivering services, exhibitions and other educational activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs

• Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

i) Allocation of support costs

Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned on the following basis which are an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity.

Where information about the aims, objectives and projects of the charity is provided to potential beneficiaries, the costs associated with this publicity are allocated to charitable expenditure.

Support and governance costs are re-allocated to each of the activities on the following basis which is an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity

–	Professional standards and membership	45%
–	Examination and training fees	23%
–	Public health policy and advocacy	26%
–	International	5%
–	Journal of Public Health	1%

Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities.

j) Operating leases

Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

k) Tangible fixed assets

Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £5,000. Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those activities. Assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may exceed their net realisable value and value in use.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The straight line depreciation rates in use are as follows:

• Intangible assets- website and IT system development 5 years

• – Office and IT furniture and equipment 3 years

No depreciation has been provided on donated items as their NBV is considered a fair estimate of their value.

l) Listed investments

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. Any change in fair value will be recognised in the statement of financial activities. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading “Net gains/(losses) on investments” in the statement of financial activities. The charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.

m) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

n) Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

For the year ended 31 December 2021

o) Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

p) Pensions

The charity contributes 12.5% of employees basic salaries to an auto-enrolment pension scheme. Alternatively staff may opt to have contributions made to authorised pension schemes of their choice.

17 Post balance sheet events

The impact of Covid 19 on the financial sustainability of the charity is referred to in the Treasurer’s Report.The value of the portfolio at the financial year end (31 December 2021) was £1,461,141, this had fallen by 9.59% to £1,321,191 as at 12th April.

The fall is attributable to several factors. Rising energy prices and supply chain constraints led to higher inflationary pressures at the start of the year causing markets to pause for breath following the 2021 post-pandemic rebound.The invasion of Ukraine by Russia triggered yet higher oil and soft commodities prices, leading to more inflation and growth worries, further depressing stock market values and thirdly we have seen a rotation away from growth/technology investments to value investments.

A resolution of the war would be a catalyst for a return of market confidence but higher interest rates, as central banks try to rein in inflation, will continue to weigh on markets and impact global growth.
