We have needed lo keep our ways of working continuously under review and have responded quickly to changes

Our adoption teams have continued lo provide quality adoption services, finding families for 78 children. A
significant achievement for the agency and life changing for these children. Vve are delighted with this joint effort
across the teams.

the children who wait the longest such as older single children and siblings alongside highlighting the benefits of
adopting through a VAA. In 21122 our adoption enquiries exceeded their target with 1327 enquiries being

Adoptlon Support
The Adoption Support Service continued lo provide much needed support lo PACT families with involvement
much earlier in the family's adoption journey due lo the children having more complexities and adopters needing
support in managing these. The therapeutic social work support has been given to some adopters in the pre-
placement stsge and lo others in the very early days following placement.
The joint research project wilh Reading University Ilhe formal external evaluation into the effectiveness of the
Adopter Champion service) was completed and a resultsnl report was produced which was very positive about

Feedback from a ParenUCarer- "I have gotten a lol from a webinar this moming as the advice was invaluable.. It
is a great tool and I highly recommend it."
The Adopter Hub continued lo thrive throughout 2021122 with over 3000 people using the Hub al the end of the

produced and broadcast via the platform and new resources were added lo expand the support the Hub can
offer for Foster Carers.
The Adopter Hub Continued to be popular with external partners however several RAAS reduced their
subscription numbers due to the reduction in covid related grants from the government and a change in
regulation regarding the spending of ASF funding on digitsll e-services. The Hub did expand further into working
with Virtual Schools with more signing up lo the platform and making the resources available to schools in their
area.
Alana House
Despite the challenges of Covid-19 Alana House service delivery remained face lo face with some additional
mitigations in place to reduce risk of transmission. This was a significant achievement considering many
services either reduced their services or only offered remote support. We look this approach given the escalating
needs of service users and the increase in women presenting in crisis.
We continued lo work in partnership with a number of agencies both operationally and slralegically. The Head of
Communities continues lo allend Reading's Community Safely Partnership Board,. Thames Valley Reducing
Reoffending Board lincluding the Women's subgroup board) and various Domestic Abuse Boards throughout
Berkshire.
A key priority for Alana House was to enhance our Criminal Justice System work through partnerships with the
National Probation Service INPSI., Thames Valley Police and Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner
IOPCCI. In Year End 2022 we secured the Ministry of Justice 'Communily Rehabilitation Service, contract Isul>
contractor lo Advance) resulting in closer working with NPS., expanded our Out of Court Disposals IOOCDI work
across Berkshire with Thames Valley Police and received funding from the OPCC for to support women affected
by domestic abuse.
Further successful partnerships with slatulory partners led lo significant funding being secured from Brighter
Futures for Children and Reading Borough Council who are key referral partners for the service.
Embedding engagement of women with lived experiences in the delivery and development of services continues
lo be a prime focus for the service. One ex-service user, who has experience of the criminal justice system, has
become a volunteer and, in addition to service user forums, we continue lo explore how we can grow the
engagement of women with lived experience in the delivery and development of services.
Funding for the service consisted of 439/0 from National Government., 340/0 from Local Government and 230/0
from independent trusts, foundations and donations.

Bounce Back 4 Klds
Bounce Back 4 Kids service delivery took a hybrid approach with the continuing impact of Covid-19. Service
delivery for children largely remained face lo face (including play therapy) bul parents responded well lo remote
service provision with more parents attending online groups when compared lo face to face delivery. As impact
and outcomes do not seem lo be affected by remote delivery, we expect this will continue where appropriate.
Strong relationships have been forged with the Office of the Police Crime Commissioner, Brighter Futures for
Children, West Berkshire Council and Turnaround Families all of which are key funders and l or referral partners.
The Head of Communities continues lo attend Domestic Abuse Board meetings in the geographical regions
where we have delivery.
In addition to the team delivering a number of group programmes we were pleased to be able to facilitate a
second group for children aged Under 5 years and their parent I carer following the pilot the year before.
PACT was successful in securing a place on JP Morgan's Force for Good initiative in 21122. This provided digitsl
skills and expertise alongside lime from JP Morgan's work force lo create and produce a digitsl resource. PACT
used the opportunity to start work on Bounce, an online support tool for children and parents recovering from
domestic abuse. This project will conclude with JP Morgan in June 2022 and PACT hope lo launch the platform
by YE23.
Funding for the service consisted of 230/0 from National Government,. 380/0 from Local Government and 390/0
from independent trusts, foundations and donations.

Fundraising and Income Generation
PACT would like lo thank all those who have contributed lo the organisation through 2021122. This includes all
those who attended a PACT event, all our regular givers, marathon runners, one off donors, businesslcorporale
partners, community organisalions and Irusls. Through their support PACT has been able lo continue lo support
hundreds of beneficiaries throughout the year. Thank youl
PACT successfully achieved and exceeded the reslricled fundraising tsrgels for Alana House and Bounce Back
4 Kids Icommunities projeclsl. The combined tsrgel was £355k and the final income amount was £430k. PACT
is able to roll over the surplus income into the following year lo support next years delivery as well as consider
some additional in-year investment lo support the development of the service and contribute to service user
outcomes. The other reslricled tsrgel for Adoption Support was set al £155k and PACT achieved a total income
of £143k. Despite not hitting this target none of the services provided via the Adoption Support team were
impacted.
PACT'S unrestricted fundraising income target was increased from £135k in YE21 10 £187k for 2021122 and the
final amount secured was over £220k. PACT has many regular funders that have donated and made this
achievement possible. Amongst many new funders, this target was enabled via new investment and support
from the David Brownlow Charitable Trust. The additional unreslricled income has enabled PACT lo invest in
some vital roles lo further develop the charity and its services.
Income generated from stslutory partners buying subscriptions to The Adopter Hub reduced from £259k in 20121
10 £207k in 21122. Despite this change the number of partners has mostly stayed the same as a few partners
didn't renew their membership bul other new partners have been signing up within the year. The main reason for
the reduction has been the change made by government allowing partners lo ulilise the Adoption Support Fund
lo pay for digilall virtual support for adopters.
Marketing and Communications
Adopter recruitment activities were targeted al prospective parents who could meet the needs of the children
wailing and we continued lo generate a higher than average number of enquiries. Information events continued
online bul we attended a small number of in-person publicity events.
The events team organised a service to celebrate Inlemalional Women's Day and a Garden Party both of which
raised funds for Alana House.
New websites were successfully launched for both The Adopter Hub and PACT. The latter incorporated a self-
selection tool and integrated forms for both adoption enquiries and job applications.
An intranet for the organisalion, PACT Connect was launched in March and has re￿iVed excellent feedback.
Rlsk Management
The charity maintains a Risk Register, which is updated each month by the SMT and submilled lo the trustees lo
monitor against the strategic objectives set out in the Business Plan. The Risk Register is reviewed at each
Board meeting. The Iruslees are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place lo miligale those risks
identified in the Risk Register.
The key risks identified for 2022123 are..
The number of placements will fall short of the target
The ongoing impact of Covid-19 pandemic will negatively impact on service delivery
Risk of fundraising targets for YE23 not being achieved
LGPS (Local Government Pension Scheme} Provision weakens balance sheet to the extent that funding
is impacted materially
The changes lo the cost of living wll negatively impact on our staff and service users and beneficiaries

Operatlng & Investment Restrlctlons
The company may not undertake any permanent trading activities in raising funds for its primary charitable
objects.
The company may invest monies "not immediately required for ils purposes in or upon such investments,
securities or property as may be thought fit, subject nevertheless to such condition Irf any) and such consents lif
any) as may for the lime being be imposed or required by law" las per the Memorandum of Association}.
Currently all liquid investments are held in Deposit Accounts or Common Investment Funds with CCLA, who
have clearly defined ethical investment policies.
Reserves Pollcy
Reserves or 'Free reserves" are defined as unrestricted funds available for spending and are therefore
calculated by taking the total unreslricled funds of a charity and deducting any balances not available for
spending (such as assets, inveslmenls, and designated funds).
The actual level of reserves is monitored regularly., the accounts presented as part of the Board Pack for Trustee
meetings include a reseNes slalement.
The °sufficienl level of reserves. is the costs for completing current adoption activity in any given year to enable
an effective wind down of service. The related costs would include redundancy costs, CEO and Service Director
salaries for 6 months as well as a further 50Q/o, and the Iruslees are satisfied that this is the case.
In setting policy, the trustees have considered various requirements, namely..
That a sufficient level of reserves is required by law to ensure that any current adoption activity can be
completed should the charty be unable lo continue lo operate.
That the charity is obliged to undertake an external annual audit of finances and accounts and that the
Auditors produce an annual audit report setting out the financial health of the organisation and confiming the
charity is a going concern for the next 12 months.
The value of Unrestricted funds was £3,273,631 12021.. £2,990,525) of which £1,954,471 (2021.. £1,968,801)
represents Fixed Assets for operational use. Therefore, the free reserves were £1,319,160 (2021.. £1,021,724).
It is noted that the pension provision for the Local Government Pension Scheme at 31st March 2022 was

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF OXFORD DIOCESAN COUNCIL FOR
SOCIAL WORK INCORPORATED
Opinion
We have aLJdiled the financial statements of Oxford Diocesan COLJncil for Social Work IncorF)orated (the
'charitable company'l for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the
Balance sheet, the Statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting
policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United
Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Praclicel-
In our opinion the financial statements..
give a true and fair view of the slate of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of ils
incoming resources and application of resour￿8, including ils income and expenditure for the year then
ended.,
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice., and
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 IUKI IISAS IUKII 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 charitable company in accordance
with the ethical requirements that are relevant lo our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom,
including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethic81 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 lo provide a basis for our opinion.
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 charitable companls ability lo
continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are
aulhorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect lo going concern are described in the
relevant sections of this report.

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 lo 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 lo report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities {Accounts and Reports)
Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if. in our opinion..
the information given in the Trustees, report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial

SOCIAL WORK INCORPORATED ICONTINUEDI
Auditorfs responsibilities for tha audit of tho financial statements
We have been appointed as aLJditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with
the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misslalement, 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, bLJt is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI 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 lo influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we wll not detect all irregularities,
including those leading lo a material misslatemenl 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. The specific procedures for
this engagement that we designed and performed to detect material misslalements in respect of irregularities,
including fraud, were as follows..
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and
claims;
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance lo identify any material instances of non-
Complian￿ with laws and regulations.,
Reviewing financial ststemenl disclosures and lesling lo supporting documentation to assess compliance
with applicable laws and regulations.,
Performing audit work to address the risk of irregularities due to management override of controls, including
testing of joumal entries and other adjuslmenls for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of
significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewng accounting estimates for
evidence of bias.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial
Reporting Council's website al.. www.frc.or
.uklauditorsres
onsibilities. This description foms part of our
Auditor's report.

ststed in the relevant accounting policy.
1.2 Company status
The company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees

The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of
receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of
entitlement to a legacy exists when the Company has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left lo
them Ilhrough knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefaclorl and the
executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate.
Receipt of a legacy musl be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value
of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed lo the
Company, can be reliably measured.
Voluntary income
Income from donations, grants of a core funding or general nature, and legacies. are included in
incoming resources when these are receivable, there is entillemenl, probability of receipt and the
amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Such income is only deferred when..
the donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods',or
the donor has imposed conditions which must be mel before the company has unconditional
entillemenl.
When donors specify that donations are for particular reslricled purposes, which do not amount lo
p￿-conditIOnS regarding entillemenl, this income is included in incoming resources of restricted
funds when receivable.

the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs
of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs
involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable lo a single activity are allocated directly
to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are
not allributable lo a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with
the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation
charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Company lo raise funds for its
charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charilable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on direcdy undertaking the activities which further the

trading activities that raise funds.

in trading activities which raise funds.
charitable activities includes expenditure associated with the provision of adoption & fostering
services, and with a range of community projects, and includes both direct costs and support
costs relating to these aclivilies.

primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.
where possible costs have been charged directly to the project or cost heading concerned.
Support costs have been apportioned lo charitable activib.es on the basis of eslimaled use of
those resources in support of those acts"vilies.
1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific lo the liability- The
unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of astimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires the charity to make judgements. estimates and
assLJmplions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as al the balance sheet dale and
the amounts reported for income and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means
the actual outcomes could differ from those eslimales. The following judgements and estimates have had
the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Critical accounting eslimales and assumptions..
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where
appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values may vary depending on a nLJmber of
factors.
Accrued expenses
Accrued expenses are estimated by the charity based upon past experience, with kno￿edge of known
issues at the balance sheet date, and management information available after the balance sheet date, in
respect of matters for which the charity is confident there will be an OLJtflow of economic benefit.
Retirement benefits
VarioLJS assumptions are made in reporting the performance of the charitls share of the pension scheme.
A valuation is carried out for reporting PLJrposes by a qualified independent actuary. The principal actuarial
assLJmplions made are disclosed in note 25.
Allocation of expenditure
Where expenditure is not directly attributable lo activity categories or funds, costs are apportioned on the
basis of staff numbers or by reference to the proportion of resources ulilised.
