Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achlevements
of the charity during the financial
poriod
2025-2025 has been another busy and productive year for
Relats'onships SCotl￿d - StrEtland IRSSI.
RSS provides a range of support servi￿5 to individuals, families, and
comrnunities across Shelland, including..
• Family Mediation
. Community Mediation
Rela1￿nShiP Counselling
. Parenting Apart courses
In the MKldle support for chSldren affected by parental separation
• Trainlng for organlsatlons on conflict and its impacts
The organisation is stsffed by a Servlce Mar￿ger (30 hours), a Family
Medialor (32 hours), and a Community Relationships Practittiner (21
hours). This core team Is supported by four Assttiate Family
Mediators and four As80clate Relatlonship Couns8llor8.
Practice supervision is providod for all practilioners in Ilne with good
practice standards and the registration requirements of Relationships
Scotland. COntin￿uS professional devebpment is strongly encouraged
across both employed staff and associates. This yèar. the ernployed
Family Mediator successfully completed the Foundation Level in
Systemic Family Therapy. The organisation also continued to explore
opportunities to Strengthen its training offer, particularly in supporting
8ltuatlons involving complex famity conflict.
A kéy focus during the year was the design and launch of a community-
wide survey. This 8uriey explored people's exper*nces of i98L￿8 and
conflict within their communitles. as well 88 whether Ihey had acce88ed
support. The findings will guide the development and targetlng of RSS
services to better m88t the needs of the Shetland communlty In the
year3 ahead.
A signrfic8nt challeng8 this year arose when a major fundlng appllcation.
seeking approximately £30.000 per year for fNe years, was
unsuccessful. This placed considerable pressure on the organisation's
financial position for 2025126. raising the possibility of redundancies if
altemab've funding could not be secured by April 2025. The risk was
partially mitigatèd when the Client Coordinatrjr left their post in January
2025. A decision was taken not to recruit to Ihe vacancy, with the
Setvice Manager temporarily assuming these duties until a wider review
is completed and new funding is secured,
RSS ￿ntInued its path of continuous improvement throughout 2024. A
new Client Management System was introduced in early 2025,
improving how client infomation is stored and how caseloads are
managed and monitored. The organisallon also Idenllfled clearer 81aff
values and slrenglhened its focus on team goals, perfomiance
measurement, arKI quality of outcorrK•s.
RSS remains committed to excellence and to supporting its practth'oner
team to deliver highquality 8ervices across all areas of ts work.
