CHICHESTER DIOCESAN ASSOCIATION FOR FAMILY SUPPORT WORK TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 With the comparable figures for the last yèar included above we can see how Ihe needs that families are facing aio ehanging. With a largè Incrtrase in the need for support for èdLJcalional mglt@rs, thig of wrfyk now takS up lo 46% 01 a praclilioner's lime with a family which is a growth of over 50°k on last year. This demonstrates the need parents have lor supptsrt to a¢ce38 services lor their ¢hildren with speci81 education81 needs. It is our professional opinion that this is happening because the support ol Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services ICAMHSI Is har(# lo come by because the service is over-sirelched. The difficulty in gettlng CAMHS support results in fewer children gelling an Education. Health and Care Plan IEHCPI ultimalely compounding Ihe challenges for child, parent and school. The resulting additional fiietion in key relationships for families creates diffieullies when in reality the professionals in the schools are working to ensvre the pupils are supported. Our work with relationships saw a small increase ol just 1.10 of time spent on thi5 work. Th8 change on rnenlal h$allh issues was significant, showing a reduction, of over 50°/e, of time spent supporting parents with their mental health in comparison to 18$t yggr. With many of our famili9s béing ongoing cages the reduction in tim9 spent on adult mental health reflects some of the improvements we made with the long-lerm families over the provious year. Also, tho prioritising of the edue8tion81 n¢¢ds me8n3 there 18 le33 timc ovailablc lo focu3 on other issues. The impact that we make year on year with the families we support with complex need5 reinforces the nee(J for the long-lerm holistiG nature of the work we undertake. In some instances ihere Is Iltlle d)ange bui slabilily, whiGh is essential for the wellbein9 01 ¢hildren. Both financial and housing issues have remained slati¢. FSW recogn?ses that this in part reftecis both the impact of the long-lerm support, with focused help on budgeting, helping families better manage the Income and supportinq them with Draclieal help in Ihe quise ol food bank deliveries. free activities and access lo support funds help in the short term, but ultimately the impact in this area is lo enable families lo better manage on their Dwn. that is the key to SUCCeS5. Outtomè% FSW uses the Family Star system to monitor the outcomes of our work, family by family. During the last year, we have seen signifiGanl inGrea5e in the ability of paronts to ¢ope with the iS$LJÈS thay fae8. With the fiva k8y araas we monitor c105ely al least 47QA of our families report an increase in confidence and ability. At Ihis lime ol firTrancial uncertainty to see the farnilies themselv¥s, support8d by PrtiLliliurivrs, dLkiiuwlEdyirig d yredler seiist> of stability is a great encouragement. 11 also demonstrates the combination of practical sUPPOrt coupled with the support ol professional staff enables FSW lo foster la51ing changes lo a larnily. Vvith 55 /0 of parents reporting a positive increase in their sense ol wellbeinq empowering them lo take more conlrol ol their lives, whid) has a lasting b•n8fit for thè families. This strengthening of parents leads to a stronger family that bec(*nes more resilient and able lo cope with the challenges th8y fac8. Combining the parental wellbeing alongside the growth in families we see a str6nglhtning of 30CI81 n&lwork8 underpins the FSW aim lo help families become stronger. A healthy social network allows parents lo develop thelr own support network that in lum upholds them when the challenges of family life are high. The impiovement of supporting children in education is also a great slep forward. The high number ol referrals lor catIonal reasons lo our service demonstrates that we are a trusted organisalion that can have a positive impact with the families. The fact that 55/0 of our families believe that the educationa1 needs of their ohildren are being addressed once we become involved shows how our support as a third party can make a differen¢e in an eduealional 8?tling. This last area ol our work is one that impscts rnost on the wider soeiely as we work with parents, schools and children to ensuie that their needs are met. To see children achieve the best al they can within an educational setting is not only good lor the Ghild and family bul a150 the wider so¢iety. AS children progress and develop skills that will further support them into adulthood our woik has a long-teim lasting impact. Uur Vractitioners work with professionals from many olher agencies and Services and thi5 joint working has benefils, lor not just the families, but the other agencies too, we all play lo our strengths with the aim ol empowering the families.

Rlsk managèmènt The maln rlsk to the assoclatlon, as wlth all voluntary fundeo organisations is, the loss ol income. To mitigate this, the Board continues to seek new income streams and develop new strong partnerships with other organisalions to support our work. The CEO continues to monitor th8 income and spending along with the Treasurer. A Financial Sub Committee ol the Board adds an additional layer of scrutiny lo the financial operations of the Association. Careful monitoring of the process is maintained lo ensure compliance. Working with farnilies hos in itself a range of risks. The safeguarding policés ol the association were subject to an external examination and minor amendments were made. The Safeguardirig Committe8 revi8W the policies on a reguSar basis and make recommendations lo the Board. Repulalional Risk.
