Introduction
Welcome to the Trustees’ Annual Report.
All charities have experienced a difficult year due to the continuation of COVID and CSIE is no exception. Difficulty has arisen as Covid restrictions have been eased and then reinstated. Uncertainty does not help to build confidence in any organisation especially the charity sector. Funding has also been affected as schools and local authorities, with whom we work, have budget restrictions and many have had to concentrate on limited work.
However, despite all the above and related challenges CSIE has maintained a presence and continues to make a vital contribution to the sector. Hopefully we are now moving towards a more stable environment where confidence will grow across all sectors and more opportunities will come on stream.
Determination and resilience on behalf of the staff and Trustees has been a dominant factor. Many people have supported us financially and for this we have been very grateful. We believe that moving towards a more stable environment the work of CSIE will flourish.
About CSIE
Every year many children miss out on a place in their local school, often without a careful exploration of how this could have been made possible. This leaves them disconnected from their local community, possibly feeling the bitterness of exclusion whenever they see their siblings or other local children walking to or from school. It happens largely because our education system was set up over 100 years ago, when disabled people were thought to have no place in mainstream society and its institutions. Today such practices are inconsistent with national and international law, yet they continue because not enough people realise this or are enabled to do things differently. In other parts of the world, education has transformed, all children go to their local school and learn from each other, as well as from their teachers.
For almost 40 years CSIE has been working to protect every child’s right to a good education in their local community. With an experienced SEND teacher at the helm, we work to raise awareness about equality through the lens of disability and build capacity in schools and other educational settings to respond to the needs of all children. Our work consistently attracts excellent feedback, whether we have been delivering disability awareness workshops for pupils, equality workshops for staff, senior leaders or governors, or support for a school to carry out an equality audit, policy or curriculum review.

TRUSTEES REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The Trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2022.
Reference and administrative information set out on page 2 form part of this report.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and 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) (effective 1 January 2015) as amended by Update Bulletin 2 published in October 2018, effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
Objectives and Activities
For 39 years CSIE has been working to protect and advance every child and young person’s right to a good education in their local community. It works to raise awareness about equality and build capacity in schools and other educational settings to respond to the needs of all children. It actively works to counteract discrimination against children and young people by promoting public knowledge in all matters concerning inclusive education in mainstream primary and secondary schools, early years settings, higher education institutions and other educational settings.
CSIE is a national organisation which uses a variety of ways to promote equality, minimise discrimination, and remove barriers to learning and participation for all children and young people irrespective of difference such as perceived ability, disability, socioeconomic background, sex, gender, sexual orientation, culture, ethnicity, religion or belief.
Structure, Governance and Management
The charity is under the overall control and direction of the Council of Trustees, who meet quarterly.
All of the Trustees are experts in inclusive education in one way or another, with many additional skills and gifts to bring to the regular meetings and the progress of the charity. All Trustees are required to retire at the Annual General Meeting and are eligible for re-election at that time.
During this year Sharon Smith stepped down from her role as trustee. CSIE remains grateful for her valuable contribution during her period in office. In September 2021 Stuart Burgess succeeded Brigid-Jackson Dooley in the role of Chair and Jo Palmer-Tweed re-joined the Council of Trustees after a short period of absence.
Dame Philippa Russell, DBE, had been a Trustee since the formation of CSIE and retired from the CSIE Council in September 2008. In recognition of her significant contribution to the development of inclusive education, and to the work and development of the Centre over the years, she has taken on the role of Patron of CSIE.
The Trustees delegate the day to day running of CSIE to the Director, Artemi Sakellariadis.

Staffing
CSIE staff for the year under review were: Artemi Sakellariadis, Director Sarah Hobbs, Administrator Rishona Ruegg-Morrison (intern June 2021)
During the year under review CSIE continued to function under reduced capacity, employing only two members of staff. As a measure of comparison, it is worth noting that in its 39-year history CSIE has never employed more than three members of staff at any one time. CSIE has been involved in an internship scheme with Bristol University. One student joined the staff team full-time during June 2021, in an internship position fully funded by the University. This student proved a great asset to the team, helping with fundraising efforts, website updates and ongoing projects.
Both staff have worked part-time throughout the year under review: CSIE director Artemi Sakellariadis 4 days a week and Administrator Sarah Hobbs 2 days a week. It is anticipated that staffing levels will increase when income has been secured to allow this.
Key activities and achievements
Summary of additional activities and achievements
There have been many encouraging signs over this period as we continue to address the main issues which provide our core work.
- It is important for every organisation to be evaluated from time to time. CSIE has been recently independently evaluated by the New Philanthropy Capital. A number of the staff and Trustees - including myself as Chair - were interviewed at length about the organisation. This was a very demanding, thorough and rewarding process which resulted in a first rate evaluation for us. This very positive result provided a stimulus to us as we emerge from the pandemic. The report concluded:
“CSIE addresses a clear need in addressing inequality within education. Whilst it has had considerable impact on the sector since its creation 40 years ago, in recent years it has struggled due to its limited capacity, lack of long-term unrestricted funding and the recent impact of the pandemic. CSIE’s proposed new business model provides an exciting opportunity to strengthen the organistaion’s finances whilst simultaneously increasing its capacity to continue to create impact for disabled children within the education system.”
-
The new business plan has been put into action and CSIE’s director continues to work with three important local authorities namely Bristol, Calderdale and Solihull, supporting central services to support the development of more inclusive schools locally. It is interesting to note that if further funding had been forthcoming we could have also engaged with work in individual schools in these local authorities.
-
Evaluation of work is always important so that we may learn from our processes, and this is presently being done by a team from Exeter and Edge Hill Universities.
-
We have reorganised our back-office facilities so that the Institute of Education will house our archive, and stream lined our office space whilst keeping our registered office.
-
We have successfully completed writing the Miniguide on Equality for Early Years and this is due to be published by nasen in 2022. This is an important document and could be used as a toolkit for many organisations.

-
Campaigning is part of our brief as we aim to promote our core principles. This has led us submitting a response to the consultation on Initial Teacher Training in August. Although with more staff we would have been able to have responded to more consultations, this was an important effort consistent with current capacity and helps us to keep CSIE firmly on the map.
-
CSIE has continued to deliver Disability Awareness Workshops for pupils. This very important area has been curtailed because of Covid but the workshops have been delivered in Derby and Southampton in collaboration with facilitators from Diversity & Ability, a disabled-led organisation which helps create inclusive cultures. Post Covid we can see this is a huge area which can be developed.
-
CSIE has continued to be represented at the Special Educational Consortium’s steering group and work closely with Diverse Educators by contributing to Diversity Roundtables, writing for the disability chapter for the Diverse Educators new book, and presenting at the Diverse Ed conference in March 2022.
-
We marked U.K. Disability History Month with regular social media posts, and marked all other significant for equality days, weeks and months.
-
We close the year in eager anticipation of funding to enable us to recruit more staff so that we can make a real difference in the areas where we are currently working. We have also been invited to speak, in the coming months, to Masters students and at events with a national and international audience, so we are also eagerly awaiting these opportunities to motivate and support others to develop more inclusion.
It is remarkable, given the backcloth of a very difficult operating year, that so much has been achieved and this has only been possible by the sheer dedication of staff who have worked beyond the call of duty.
We believe that CSIE has a bright future and that many opportunities are there so that we can make a real difference in our communities and remain faithful to our core values.
Obviously, much depends upon future funding but like other organisations we are determined to maintain and build upon our important work.
Pursuing financial sustainability
CSIE was set up in 1982 as a lobbying and campaigning organisation and had relied heavily on core funding until 2013 when this ended. Since then, CSIE has developed a range of traded services through which it earned a modest income and, at current staff’s own recommendation and with their full approval, had reduced contractual hours as a temporary measure to reduce expenditure.
During the year under review our new Business Plan for sustainability and growth has been put into action, which should enable us to have a stronger and longer-lasting impact in the areas where we work. When additional funding has been secured and more staff have been recruited, this will also enable us to undertake more focused work in schools and, over time, to become financially selfsustainable. It will also enable us to resume the awareness-raising and campaigning activities at the core of CSIE’s mission, which had been side-lined by the previous constant and pressing need to fundraise.

Public benefit
In engaging in the above range of activities, which support the development of inclusive education for all, the work of CSIE stands to improve the education experiences and ultimately life chances of children and young people at risk of discrimination; it also stands to improve the experiences of adults who are at risk of discrimination and are members, or potential members, of school or other learning communities. By encouraging schools and other educational settings to become responsive to the full diversity of people, CSIE work helps to ensure that children and young people can be safe, included and learning in schools and other educational settings. This is consistent with national policy stating aspirations of developing a more inclusive society.
Future plans
In 2020 and 2021 CSIE revised its Theory of Change and developed a Business Plan for sustainability and growth (both documents are available on request). According to this, CSIE offers more direct support to schools and focuses its traded services in specific local authorities, as a means of managing the workload and maximising impact. It is anticipated that when the bulk of our work is concentrated in a particular geographical area, different strands of work with school staff, governors, pupils, parents, local authority officers and other stakeholders will complement one another, leading to more supported and better-grounded change. The success of this depends on securing funding to employ more staff, so that CSIE has capacity to deliver this plan and have stronger and longer-lasting impact.
In addition to continuing and strengthening our work in Bristol, Calderdale and Solihull, in the year ahead we will also honour our existing commitments (complete outstanding work on the online Equality Hub and submit outstanding end-of-project reports which had to be set aside while staff focused on ensuring CSIE’s survival). We will also continue to have a web-based presence and contribute to various policy and networking groups.
Financial position of CSIE
At the start of the year under review Trustees were significantly concerned at the financial situation of CSIE, which at that point had no free reserves. In the intervening months Trustees have worked closely with CSIE’s director to keep CSIE functioning; this has been achieved through charitable donations and earned income. At the end of March 2022 CSIE has £16,118.
Trustees are fully aware of the financial challenge CSIE continues to face, are in regular contact with the director and together monitor developments closely.
Reserves policy
The Trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (“the free reserves”) held by the charity should be no more than six months of the overhead costs for the following year. For 2022-23 Trustees have approved an ambitious budget, which assumes funding in place to recruit two more staff, so 6 months of overheads are £81,600. At £7,609, the unrestricted free reserves (total unrestricted reserves less unrestricted fixed assets) at the year end represent 11% of the target reserves of £81,600.
The reserves policy further states that, should CSIE’s income become insufficient to support the charity’s obligations and charitable activities, reserve funds may be used to supplement this and, therefore, avoid serious disruption to charitable work. Should the level of reserves fall below that

TRUSTEES REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
equivalent to 3 months’ coverage of expenditure, absolute priority will be given to fundraising activities.
Reserve funds are typically held as cash in a high interest deposit account. In an attempt to maintain instant access while benefiting from high interest, currently this is at Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) Bank.
This policy is reviewed annually and was last reviewed in March 2022.
Investment policy
The Trustees’ policy on investments is to ensure the best return with interest payments while safeguarding the quality of the placement of funds.
Risk review
The Trustees have considered the possible risks to the Charity and have established systems to mitigate these. CSIE maintains a Risk Register, available on request, to ensure that all risks are rigorously considered and mitigating actions are put in place and reviewed on a regular basis. The Risk Register is reviewed quarterly by the Risk Committee, currently comprising two Trustees and the CSIE director, and presented for consideration by the full Council of Trustees at each of its regular meetings.
Independent Examination
A resolution to re-appoint Joanne Trowbridge MAAT from Bristol Community Accountants CIC as the Charity’s Independent Examiner will be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.
In particular, The Companies Act 2006 and charity law require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to:-
-

-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-

-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
