As a reg￿l￿tÈd Home Care Provider, we are subject (o inspection by the Carè Quality Commission. As a non-

In September 2021 CQC confirmed that they assessed that we were managing the impact of Ihe COVID-19
pandemic.
Sel against the backdrop of an unprecedented global pandemic, as well ss Brexit, this year has been challenging
for us and the social care sector in generzl 105 well as many Dlhersl. Dèspite this, we have responded
professionally and competently, successfu15y deciphered the plethora of regu18rly updaled and somelimes conflicting
best practice, iegulalion, and general advice, and implèmented sound infection conliol processes and PPE, to keep
Ihe vulnerable people we support, and our staff, safe. Likewise, we have ensured that despile some of the financial
pressures, we have sought to do everything possible lo keep Ihe Charity on a sliong financial footing, including
obtaining and making good usé of Ihe Covid-relaled support grants that were available from Central Government
and Local Authorities.
Our staff have been tremendou8, they have put service users first, they hav8 managed their owri an]aelies and
provided care and support al home for peoplé who tested positive lor COVID-19. They have taken on additional
shifts, cancelled leave and responded so positively to ensure that no calls were missed. Over 80°A of staff live in our
local community and whilst this is one of our slrenglhs. il tested our resiliernce when local transmission rates were
high. Staff across the orgsnisation have iesponded positively to both the weekly lesling regime introduced in
December 2020 and the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccination from January 2021.
During the pandemic, with the aid of technology, Home Care Admin staff were able lo prirnaiily work from homè,
with some visits to offices and schemes when required. This worked well on the whole. wilh O￿lIne Microsoft Tèams
or Zoom meetings, and office land lines re-dirècted to individuals. mobiles. A hybrid model incorporating part home
and part 01ft￿ wotking is likely in future.
Recruitment of Care Suppotl Workers will remain a challenging trend for this service as many care workers will seek
other employment opportunities in allèmalive sectors with high8r pay dLse lo the costs of living crisis. However, we
arè commilled lo conlinuing professional development and have a comprehensive training prograEnme supporting

NCC is a gentleman in his 70,5 frorn Vietnam, he was diagnosed with Polio disease al a very young age and duè lo
this horrible disease, he is wheelchaii bound, his lower limbs are severely twisted along with his spinal cord. NCC
was brought over from Vietnam lo the UK by thÈ British Rèd Cross lo live and be closer to his family in Ihe UK.
However, after a slroke the family could no longer support NCC living with them due l(> his daily caring needs. One
sÈde of his uppèr limbs was paralysed further lo the stroke and his olhei limb has very limited movement. NCC
moved into supportedl èxtra care housing in Tower Hamlets.
While liv¢ng in supported housing. they could not meet all NCC needs so a package ol care started for advocacy
with CATH domiciliary care setvice, the care package w85 for a total of I hour per week. However further lo a v¢sil

in a sound language he was able to understand with our support worker once a week, when service8 Wa￿ were
being provided lo him, his relationship wilh his brolhei has it's up and downs and sometimes NCC'S ljrolher would
not visit for weeks. NCC expressed he was not 8ble lo Cook proper meals and was only consuming Chinese pol
noodles or plain boil rice which was cooked in the rice cooker rnixed with cheese and onion crisps 2s his lunch and
dinnèr, his only option lor 7 days a week. NCC also expressed he feels like a prisoner stuck within the 4 walls ol his
horne with no lriends, nothing lo do or look fonmard loo due lo his langu2ge bariier and mobility.
CATH arranged for an urgent review to take pla￿ for NCC with Tower Hamlets Adult Soci81 C8re department and

Further lo Ihe care package increase NCC was able to attend our over 50's lutTrchèon club weekly with a care

CHINESE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL OF TOWER HAMLETS
The year 2Q21-22 is a difficult one for the Chinese School. Further from the disruption in 2021>21, we can only
continue OLtr lessons online due lo COVID restrictions. The resulled disconneolion belween teacher, students and
parents have caused inconvenien￿. rniscommunicalion and. in extreme ￿seS, falloul of relationship.
We have prowded 33 sessions from Seplember 2021 to July 2022 for S Cantonese and 10 Mandaiin Cla￿eS from
Playgroup lo A Level, The online sessions start al l Oam and ¥unning lo a staggered schedule because ol parants,
feedback. GCSE and A-Level dasses remains 3 hours long.
The attendance rale is about SO°/ts across the school.
rnb8r of
The lot21 numbèr of enrolments for the academie year 2021- 2022 was 90., 61 students were enrolled on Mand81in
classes and 29 were enrtslled on Canlonese classes, from the age of 4 up lo 18.
The pandemic has a high impact on the number of students wanting to learn Chinese. Some Chinese parents have
been wary of online learnin9 and would rather send their children back lo China when the UK is still experiencing
lockdowns. The mainstream school mand3rin promoliDn has béén cut back due to Confucius Learning Centre
scandal and the gradual cooling of Sino-weslern relationship {Ihis is particulafly a¢ule wllh the escalation of actions
in UkrainÈ).
ndemi
Parents have feedback with suggestions that children are unable to focus for the 2-hour session lime, even vllh the
appropriate breaks. This year. the school has shortenèd th6 playgroup sessions lo 40 minules online ar)d gradually
increasing with year going up.
Without the council support as their finance is slrelched by the pandernic, we hzve to hike the pri￿ for the lessons
unfortunately. The new pricing system also ieflects the gradual increasing of lesson lime.
The online class via Zoom is bringing constant challenges. Thi8 is Tef ected in the lack of expéctation of supervislon
foi teachers and parents alike, and inappropriate behaviours emerges as a result. There are 2 incidents of alle9ed
teacher misbehÉvioLir, an incidÈnt related io a parent and another incident related lo content created by bystandeis.
The teachers had allended training provided by the UK Association for Ihe Promotion of Chinese Education
IUKAPCEI, the Chinese School also prepared a vsei guide of Zoom lor teachers lo follow.
To compensate for the loss of speaking and listening thances of onlin@ lessons, the school has set up focused
speaking sessions for those who need a Chinese speaking environment.11 is held weekday after4)oons OT evenings,
with 8t most 4 students in a group. The parents reported they like the artanggmenl very rnUGh and is hoping these
sessions wall be held again.
The school conlinued to have a w)5itive itnpact on the lives of Chinese & notFChinese children, young people, and
their families acickss London and beyond during the unprÉc8dented times.
GCS
This yèar, the school has entered Iwo candidates taking GCSE Canlonese exams despite the difficulty tsn learning.
They havé performed very well as the first cohort lo return lo fa￿l0.fa¢e examination, with one achieving grade 9
and 8iiolher grade 8. The school is very pioud ol their achievements despite the difficulty of th8 n6w curriculum and
formal of examinalion.
As the Tower Hamlets council withdréw thè Early GCSE proiect a few years ago, the students had lo lake their
exam in their mainslre3m school. Unfortunatély. some students had difficulties ir) fegislering to enter lor Ilie exam,
the CISTH would advise their paients the best options and provided ieference lellers for the students if necessary.
Those who were unable lo lake the exam al the Mainstrea￿ schaol had to take Ihe exam piivalely via the East
London Skills for Life IELSI.. an approved Edexcel exam ￿E￿Ile based al Slratford. We do not need to invoke their
help this year, but it will be great to see this continued in Ihe following year.

currently dependent heavily on earned income from its Home Care Service to sustain its activities, as grants alone
would not allow CATH lo continue operating. This means Ihat if there were lo be a gap in earned income it is likely
that CATH would have lo close down. To avoid closure if funding difficulties were to happen the Irusleesldireclors
have agreed lo keep a certain level ol financial reserves lo ensure that main opeialiorEs can continue for a period of
at least 9 months. The main eoncerns ol the board are lo ensure..
