MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
As a result of the pandemic, we have become much better at providing accessible services. All our services now incorporate both a face to face and virtual offer alongside one-to-one and group-based interventions. Our offer is now richer for children, young people, parents and carers and communities. Communications and digital work, using videos, podcasts, and social media campaigns, are helping us reach more Children and Young People (CYP) at risk of developing health inequalities. Services are becoming much more agile and responsive with children and young people having far greater choice as to what type of support they want to receive and how and where they want to receive it.
Recognising the breadth of the services we now deliver to differing populations, we have developed some common principles that underpin all that we do in Compass. These celebrate our diversity and create a stronger sense of belonging and inclusion, drawing from people’s lived experiences. These principles are values-driven and centre on those allimportant human interactions that ultimately make a difference to the quality of the individualised support and care people receive. They also help to improve health inequalities by ensuring our services are accessible to all.
We have seen continued development of early intervention and prevention services to improve the mental health and emotional wellbeing of children and young people, with the implementation of four new mental health supports teams (in education) in West and Central Lancashire. We also became an approved training provider to deliver the Department for Education’s senior mental health leaders’ grant funded programme to implement whole school approaches. Our programme built on learning from Compass BUZZ – our school mental health project which concluded its 4-year programme working collaboratively with nearly 400 schools and colleges to introduce and develop their own whole school approach to mental health.
We successfully retained the contracts to deliver vital services in North Yorkshire and Harrow, which is a testament to both teams for their sustained achievements.
As pleasing as these larger gains are, it is also important to celebrate those smaller projects that have made a significant impact to the lives of children and young people including securing additional funding to develop new initiatives in response to stakeholder feedback and identified gaps in provision.
Compass has:
-
Co-developed referral pathways with mental health system partners in North Yorkshire to ensure children and families get the right support, first time.
-
Established a Parent Peer Support Group in Barnsley for parents/carers supporting their child’s mental health and emotional wellbeing.
-
Delivered pupil peer wellbeing champions training and established peer networks in 50+ schools in Warwickshire and North East Lincolnshire.
-
Provided dedicated support for young adults (18-25 years) in Enfield experiencing problems with substance misuse.
-
Developed an interactive resilience e-toolkit for professionals and parents/carers to use with children and young people on a 1:1 or group basis.
-
Relocated our Safe East service within Spotlight, a local Youth Service in Tower Hamlets making the service more accessible placed in the community.
-
Increased access and engagement with young people in Harrow at risk of developing substance misuse and risky behaviours.
-
Increased resource to better engage children and young people in Warwickshire not in education, employment and training who are at risk of developing substance misuse.
-
Provided an additional counsellor in Barnsley to help develop training and upskilling of professionals to support children and families affected by bereavement/loss.
-
Co-developed an outreach mental wellbeing offer for young people involved with youth justice in collaboration with youth offending and the youth service.
-
Delivered Communities in Practice forums for education professionals to share learning and skills gained from our tiered mental health training.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
-
Next year, we have new challenges and opportunities we want to explore:
-
Strengthening our user involvement and volunteer infrastructures and peer support networks across the organisation focusing on improving health equalities.
-
Seeking opportunities to implement our new early intervention eating difficulties models of delivery in partnership with South Yorkshire Eating Disorder Association ( SYEDA).
-
Improving integrated mental health and substance misuse care pathways that stop young people being bounced in between services.
At the heart of Compass is its people. What unites us is the importance we place on adopting a values-based approach that centres on how we do things as well as what we do. This approach has been central to our achievements. I am incredibly proud to lead such a special organisation which tirelessly strives to continuously improve, and which works openly with its stakeholders to improve the lived experiences of children, young people and families wanting early help when they need it.
None of our past achievements and future goals have been or will be possible without our dedicated workforce and the incredible support of our young people, families, volunteers, commissioners, and Non Executive Directors. Their support, challenge, and willingness to share ideas which are informed by their lived experiences drives us to be better at what we do.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Objectives and activities (continued)
b. Activities for achieving objectives
Compass’ activities span universal, targeted and specialist provision of public health and wellbeing related services to support children, young people, parents/carers, families, professionals, and local communities. Our core areas of activity are mental health, emotional health, and wellbeing; public health nursing and weight management; risky behaviours and substance misuse. They include delivering whole school approaches, education prevention, early help, structured treatment, and aftercare.
Underpinning these services is a thematic, tiered training and consultation programme for different stakeholders to upskill and coach them to identify children and young people with additional health and wellbeing needs early and put in place strategies to support them including making appropriate referrals. Compass has extended its public health expertise and knowledge to support employers and businesses within local communities and particular professional groups who are at greater risk of health inequalities to embed mentally healthy cultures within the workplace. Compass has increased its geographical spread with services based in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, the Midlands, Lancashire, and London; and supports school aged children and their families from the age of four years up to 25 years for young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
Strategic report
Achievements and performance
a. Strategy
Compass recognised that in an ever changing environment where the speed of change is accelerating, a detailed four year strategy was neither desirable nor effective. In its place the Directors have agreed long term goals with detailed objectives to support their achievement.
Long Terms Goals
-
To grow its contract base at a steady and sustainable rate: o Secure further mental health support team (MHSTs) and school nursing contracts
-
Secure substance misuse and risky behaviour contracts in areas where Compass already has a footprint o Secure organic growth within current local contracts by broadening and deepening the offer based on evidence-need
-
Achieve annual surpluses
-
To achieve financial stability by targeting a range of key financial measures: o Income of largest contract as a percentage of total income o Contribution of largest contract as percentage of total income o Central overheads as percentage of income
-
Diversification of income streams to include workforce training and professional consultancy in the areas of mental health and wellbeing

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Strategic report (continued)
Achievements and performance (continued)
Over the past 12 months, Compass has made significant progress towards achieving its goals, despite resources being diverted to manage the continued delivery of services in a Covid environment by:
-
Winning a contract to deliver four new mental health support teams (MHSTs) in Central & West Lancashire funded through NHSE, HEE and DfE.
-
Expanding the coverage of the Barnsley MHST, by securing funding for a third team to provide full borough coverage along with specialist practitioners and counsellors to deliver bereavement support and develop healthy peer relationships.
-
Securing significant contracts, in Positive Effect, the Company’s trading arm, to provide workforce training to senior mental health leads in schools/colleges and an innovations pilot project with two London bus operators to tackle driver mental health and fatigue.
-
Expanding the senior management team to reflect an increasing contract portfolio to ensure resources are available to support all services in the delivery of high quality care to our beneficiaries whilst continuing our pursuit of our strategic longer term goals
Compass aims to strengthen further its financial position through the acquisition of new business through the targeting of resources on the critically important and expanding MHST market and geographical areas where Compass already has strong representation and impact. This growth will be managed to ensure quality, innovation and high levels of performance in order to enhance Compass’ long term sustainability.
b. Risks to strategy
Clear objectives with milestones have been agreed and these are reviewed regularly by both the Senior Management Team and the Directors. Adjustments are made to priorities and resources to ensure objectives are delivered.
c. Review of activities
The main challenge faced by teams throughout the year was gaining access to Compass’ beneficiaries with limited availability of partner and community venues due to fluctuating Covid restrictions. As a result, delivery is now blended through a combination of face-to-face and virtual interventions using online methods such as MS teams, Zoom and digital guided self-help workbooks. Compass continued to accelerate its use of digital offers producing live and pre-recorded webinars, podcasts and videos broadcast through YouTube, and social media messaging .Compass continued to deliver a wide range of progressive health and wellbeing interventions for school-aged children, young people, parents/carers, families, and communities from four years up to 25 years, the emphasis remaining focused on co-designing, codeveloping, and co-delivering early intervention models of care to identify and address issues early before problems escalate. Extensive knowledge, across a wide range of health and wellbeing issues, at different levels of support provided insight and understanding of how issues are often interconnected, multi-layered and complex. Compass uses its aggregated activity data across services for itself and partners to help:
-
Determine school, locality, and population health needs
-
Determine health inequalities
-
Co-develop integrated care systems
-
Identify trends, lessons learnt and areas for continuous improvement
-
Highlight 'what works', where there are system gaps and missed opportunities
-
Identify potential solutions and early interventions that improve children and families lived experiences of accessing and engaging support when they need it.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Strategic report (continued)
Achievements and performance (continued)
Compass BUZZ, published its legacy report based on stakeholder feedback following completion of its four-year programme. The report, supported by a national learning event held by Compass and commissioners, captured the journey as the North Yorkshire project evolved. Including its tiered workforce training and consultation programme, upskilling over 15,000 education professionals in identifying and responding to emotional and mental health needs, codesigning an e-resource resilience toolkit for schools to facilitate wellbeing sessions with pupils on a one to one basis or in the classroom setting, embedding a Community in Practice forum for professionals to share new skills, tools, learning and best practice to aid peer development, and implementation of a peer wellbeing champions programme and network enabling pupils to have a voice, learn new skills and co-develop mentally healthy schools. BUZZ’s legacy lives on with service elements now being delivered through our new county-wide Phoenix service and our MHST models of delivery. The new county-wide service, a blend of both Compass BUZZ and REACH continued to work closely with strategic partners Tees, Esk and Wear Valley NHS Foundation Trust to adopt a systemwide approach, co-developing integrated care pathways and a thresholds tool for all stakeholders to make accessing the right support as easy as possible.
The successful roll out continued of our ten Compass MHSTs in North East Lincolnshire (January 2020), Barnsley (January 2021) and West and Central Lancashire (January 2022) with each area learning from the other in implementing the Compass community-based model, underpinned by NHSE’s operating manual. The ten teams are working with approximately 258 schools/colleges as part of the programme. Staff continue to be supported through a Compass-wide buddy scheme matching trainees and new staff with experienced and newly qualified Compass practitioners, supervisors, team leaders, managers, and University course tutors. As one of the Government’s priorities to grow the children’s mental health workforce 14 practitioners successfully completed their post graduate qualifications in low intensity CBT and clinical supervision at Sheffield University, with a further 24 set to graduate from Edge Hill University in February 2023.
Both Compass North East Lincolnshire and Barnsley MHSTs are well underway with rolling out the programme to all schools/colleges within their area (providing full coverage to all schools/colleges and pupils in the borough) and have well established locality skill mix teams who adopt a team around a cluster of schools approach to allocate their resources to deliver the full MHST based on evidenced-need (direct interventions, supporting school/college settings to develop their whole school approach, giving timely advice to settings and liasing with specialist services). Alongside specialist boroughwide roles that focus on specific mental health issues or vulnerable groups at risk of developing health inequalities:
-
Counselling for families affected by child or parent/carer/sibling bereavement and loss (Barnsley) including training, consultation and support professionals
-
Pilot supporting 10 mainstream settings to develop responsive approaches to supporting pupils with autism via audit, workforce training, consultation and coaching (North East Lincolnshire)
-
Supporting parents/carers understanding of their child’s and/or their own emotional health needs including familybased approaches and accredited Triple P online workbooks and parenting programmes facilitated by a families’ practitioner (Barnsley)
-
Psychoeducation workshops for school-aged pupils affected my unhealthy peer relationships including bullying and coercion (Barnsley)
-
Early adopter scheme working with youth offending and the youth justice service to upskill and co-deliver a mobile community outreach mental health and emotional wellbeing offer for young people involved in restorative justice (North East Lincolnshire)

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Strategic report (continued)
Achievements and performance (continued)
Our Barnsley MHST has worked collaboratively with South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (SWYPFT) to co-design and implement a single point of access (SPA) which brings MHST and CAMHS practitioners physically together daily under one roof to jointly screen incoming requests for support and manage step up and step down referrals. Compass’ role as an MHST deliverer is to help bring system partners together to streamline referral and care pathways to stop families having to tell their story twice and being bounced around the system. This type of collaborative approach drives partnership and system enablement and is at the heart of Compass’ approach. We are looking forward to the next phase of system integration with SWYPFT by widening the SPA to involve other mental health providers.
Compass Warwickshire school nursing completed their re-branding in partnership with children and young people across the county to help raise awareness of the service and create a brand that children and young people identified with. Connect4Health, as the service is now known, worked tirelessly with all schools including colleges, pupil referral units and special schools to resume face to face public health interventions and share important public health messages across a range of platforms including resources for pupils with special education needs and disabilities. The service responded to a large increase in in safeguarding referrals whilst maintaining high quality support to children, families, and professionals, with all children in care annual health reviews carried out within national timescales. The service published its fifth annual report which was well received locally and nationally.
Our risky behaviour and substance misuse services (Enfield, Tower Hamlets, Harrow, Warwickshire) continued to make good in-roads with engaging with children, young people, and young adults early on before problems escalated.
-
Outreach and engagement roles focused solely on young people, parents and families enabling them to access timely brief advice in multiple ways and formats including through upskilling professionals who already knew them well
-
In collaboration with SilverCloud, co-develop a self-help digital CBT-based workbook to help young people tackle their drug and/or alcohol use with light-touch coaching support as an alternative to face-to-face intervention
-
Well established integrated care pathways with youth justice services including diversionary and out of court panels so young people with substance misuse needs can be identified and supported at the earliest stage
-
Delivery of transitional services for 18-25 year olds to ensure young adults receive an appropriate level of care and support recognising that many may present with complex and multiple needs that requires a particular approach that isn’t conducive to both child-led and adult services.
Compass’ training and consultation arm, Positive Effect focused on two main strands: education and professional drivers, building on the knowledge and expertise within the organisation and groundwork carried out in establishing the brand the previous year. The team expanded following opportunities won, with a Business Development Manager and Health and Wellbeing Trainer, and external consultants who are experts in their field. Highlights included:
-
Our education senior mental health leaders training course was quality assured for Department for Education grant-funding and to date have delivered to over 75 delegates: Our course suitable for education leaders from mainstream, special schools and pupil referral units, provides an online Community in Practice forum for professionals to continue their learning through peer development and utilising our interactive e-resource toolkit on multiple topics created for pupils at the different key stages and for parents/carers to use in the home setting.
-
Successfully undertook a one year Peer Wellbeing Champions pilot in Warwickshire with 40 Rugby schools. Supporting an early intervention approach our Coordinator trained primary and secondary pupils to become Champions, coaching school staff to support them and embed the programme within their setting.
-
Co-developed and delivered evidence- based train the trainer courses, designed by school nurses for school nurses, in partnership with the School and Public Health Nurses Association (SAPHNA) on topics including medicines management and continence.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Strategic report (continued)
Financial review
a. Going concern
The Directors are of the opinion that Compass is a going concern on the basis of the level of its reserves and the level of income which will be delivered in the next two years via contracts currently secured.
b. Financial review
Income during the year rose to £8.00 Million from the previous year’s figure of £6.86 Million. This increase resulted from the full year effect of the Barnsley contract gained in February 2021 and the partial effect of the Central and West Lancashire contract gained in February 2022.
Expenditure has risen to £7.18 million compared to £6.26 Million in line with increases in turnover.
Net income of £824K has risen from the previous year’s figure of £600K. This high level reflects economies of scale and lower operating costs required when delivering on line interventions. As a result of high levels of net income the Directors have decided to increase the value of the designated reserve created last year to £739K to be used to improve the breadth, quality and impact of services offered. Expenditure from the reserve was less than expected as the result of restrictions imposed on activity by Covid but in 2022/23, Compass are planning significant expenditure to cover improvements to its client management systems, HR systems, quality framework as well as developing an eating disorder offer.
c. Reserves policy
The Directors recognise the need to have reserves in place to ensure the sustainability of the Company in the event of the loss of a major contract. The Directors are also aware of the need to balance the levels of free reserves with the need to maximise the service delivered to current beneficiaries.
The Directors have agreed a method of calculating the minimum reserves requirement that Compass prudently needs to hold. The calculation takes into account the need for working capital, any long term lease commitments, levels of potential redundancy liability and assessment of the likelihood of these liabilities crystallising. Using this methodology, the minimum requirement at 31 March 2022 is £1.59 Million.
The free reserves at 31 March 2022 are £2.393 Million. This figure excludes the fixed assets reserve fund and the designated reserve. The excess of free reserves over the reserves required will be used to support future business growth and any financial impact of high rates of both general and wage inflation which may not be covered by increases in funding.
d. Principal funding
The principal funding source for the company is contractual income from Local Authorities, Clinical Commissioning Groups and Police and Crime Commissioners.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and governed by its Articles of Association which set out a Unitary Board arrangement whereby Executive Directors share with Non Executive Directors full responsibility for managing the affairs of the company.
All business is conducted through board meetings without the use of sub-committees. Clinical Governance, issues are scrutinised by an advisory group made up of Non Executive Directors, members of the senior management team and external clinical experts.
b. Recruitment and appointment of Directors
The Directors of the company are also Charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles are known collectively as the Board of Directors. Directors are elected to the Board either to fill a vacancy or to add to the number of Board members, up to a maximum of sixteen. The Articles provide that of the total number of Directors, no less than two thirds should be Non Executive Directors. The Non Executive Directors will hold office for a term of three years and will be able to put themselves forward to be elected for a further three year term. Further terms beyond the initial two must be approved by the Board on an individual basis.
The Chief Executive and Director of Finance are Executive Directors by virtue of office and any other Executive Directors, subject to a maximum of one third of total Board membership, may be elected by the Board. The Chair of the Board is elected by the Non Executive Directors; Claire Wesley was elected to the role in March 2016.
Non Executive Directors have been recruited through advertising in local and national media, through a consultant led headhunting campaign, and through the use of professional and personal networks.
c. Non Executive Directors’ induction and training
All new Non Executive Directors are given a starter information pack and meet with the Chief Executive and Chair and are briefed on the history of the organisation, its current strategy and future developments in the context of related national strategy and the wider issues of social policy.
Directors and the Senior Management Team meet at least annually separate from standard Board meetings to focus on a review of the Company's core vision, its values and its performance. The Non Executive Directors’ training schedule covers core components such as the Role of a Director and Trustee, Health and Safety, Safeguarding Children and Equal Opportunities and Diversity, as well as specific individual development needs.
d. Organisational structure
The Directors meet regularly and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the company. Currently there are seven Directors, two of whom are Executive Directors. The five Non Executive Directors are drawn from a variety of professional backgrounds relevant to the work of the Company.
A scheme of delegation is in place and day to day responsibility for the administration of the Company and the delivery of the services rests with the Chief Executive and the Senior Management Team.

COMPASS - SERVICES TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND WELLBEING (A company limited by guarantee)
DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Structure, governance and management (continued)
e. Risk management
The Board manages risk through its scrutiny of the two principal risk registers, the strategic risk register and the clinical risk register whilst at the same time seeking assurance from the Senior Management Team that identification and management of risk is core to the operational management of the business. The risk review process is underpinned by the Board’s evaluation of the forward strategy and annual business plan which together ensure that risks are identified and evaluated for likelihood of crystallisation, and to support effective decision making.
The principal registers are reviewed at each Board meeting ensuring that new risks and changes in the risk environment are properly identified and that controls are in place to maintain all risks within the Board’s agreed risk tolerance, along with the testing of procedures and mitigation of controls.
The principal risks to which Compass is exposed are regulatory/compliance and financial risks. Key risks with their corresponding risk scores are highlighted for the Board as a risk map. Risks are also monitored alongside key performance indicators per contract. Compass works closely with commissioners to minimise the risk of not attaining contractual targets. Risks in relation to data protection are managed through Compass’ Information Governance policies and procedures which ensure compliance with the General Data Protection Regulations; and the requirements of the NHS Digital data security and protection toolkit. The Covid-19 crisis was managed in line with the Compass risk strategy where risks are identified, evaluated and mitigated. During this period the Senior Management Team met regularly to consider the changing risk environment and the appropriate response. At the start of the crisis these meetings were weekly and as lockdown eased, they moved to monthly. The Board received regular updates in regard to Covid-19 and its impact on Compass’ business outside of normal meetings.
The financial risks are managed so that there are sufficient resources to meet ongoing contractual obligations. Such risks are further controlled against the Directors’ approved annual budget and variances are scrutinised through the year. Procedures are maintained for all operations and are subject to planned reviews and updating for business and statutory changes. Compass has in place a fraud and whistleblowing policy and has no exposure to financial risk instruments other than to ensure Compass maximises the return on credit bank balances.
The Board has given due consideration to its key strategic risks and is satisfied that Compass systems, procedures and policies are in place to manage these risks.
f. Key management pay and remuneration
The pay of Executive Directors is set by the Non Executive Directors. Remuneration is based on a pay range relevant to a particular role – ranges are regularly reviewed in a pay benchmarking exercise.
Compass operates a performance related pay system linked to appraisal; salaries also rose in line with the pre-approved 3 year pay agreement which ran its course at March 2022. Salaries at the 1st April 2022 were increased by 5% to reflects inflationary pressure in the labour market.
Information on fundraising practices
The charity does not actively engage in fundraising practices nor contract with a third party to fundraise on the charity's behalf.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The Directors (who are also the Trustees of the Company for the purposes of charity law) are responsible for preparing the Directors' report including the Strategic report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law, the Directors 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 Company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The directors confirm that so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by section 418(3) of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company’s auditors are unaware. They have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of the financial statements and other information included in annual reports may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF COMPASS - SERVICES TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND WELLBEING
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Compass - Services to improve health and wellbeing (the 'charitable company') 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 Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its 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 Companies Act 2006.
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 charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Directors' 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 company'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.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Directors 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 Directors' report, other than the financial statements and our Auditor's report thereon. The Directors' are responsible for the other information contained within the Directors' 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 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.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Directors' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors' report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of Directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the Directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the Directors' report and from the requirements to prepare a strategic report.

Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Directors' responsibilities statement, (set out on page 14) the Directors (who are also the trustees of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 Directors 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 Directors are responsible for assessing the charitable company'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 Directors either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
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 non-compliance 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 is detailed below:
-
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with management and directors, and from our knowledge and experience of this charity;
-
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charity, including the Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, CQC inspections, safeguarding, health and safety and employment law;
-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and directors; and
-
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by;
-
making enquiries of management and directors as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
-
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
To address the risks of fraud through management override controls, we:
-
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected variances;
-
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; and
-
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF COMPASS - SERVICES TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND WELLBEING (CONTINUED)
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
-
reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; and
-
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurance/Standards-and-guidance/Standards and-guidance-for-auditors/Auditors-responsibilities-for-audit/Description-of-auditors-responsibilities-for-audit.aspx. This description forms part of our Auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members 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 charitable company and its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.5 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
2.6 Taxation
The Company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
