Letter from Professor Chris Williams Welcome to our Annual Report for 2018! BABCP aims to be the place that people interested in CBT want to be. To connect, swap ideas, keep updated and stay in touch. As always, a lot happened in the year up to May 2018 - much of it good, with some challenges along the way.

Statutory regulation – this is being introduced for psychotherapy and counselling in the Republic of Ireland and may have added weight to put this issue back on the agenda in the UK. There was a public consultation over professionalism in the healthcare sector by the UK Government which closed in January 2018. The Board consulted the membership before issuing a response and where it was stated that BABCP supports statutory regulation for psychotherapy in the UK in principle, primarily in order to protect the public – but by doing so there will be potential challenges and risks to the organisation. This reinforces the need for us to have an organisation that is attractive to current and potential members and providing great value for money. Accreditation – we want to continue to build on the great reputation our accreditation currently has. These last two years has seen a major focus on updating systems of re-accreditation. There has been a strengthening of this, with a move to annual submissions and a robust audit process. At the same time the recommendation for evidence-based elements such as live supervision has been retained. However, we have recently been informed about a worrying situation in the Republic of Ireland where HSE are currently not recognising BABCP accreditation when it comes to some employment opportunities. Indeed, we have been informed there was a change in policy some time ago. We have responded strongly to this and will consider all options to continue to argue our case to have HSE recognise BABCP accreditation again. Complaints – The complaints team has worked with our lawyers to update and create a clearer process that enables us to get to the right ‘size’ and balance to our Complaints Procedures Governing Members. This includes being able to allocate the adequate level of resources needed to deliver this service well. In addition, we have agreed recently to employ a Complaints Coordinator to help administer and support these processes. IT systems – Our new back office system has been put in place and is now finally starting to work as originally planned. Much of the testing and mending of issues has now occurred and we hope that members should start to see the benefits of this over the coming months. This has been a very testing period for all concerned in implementing our new IT systems. However, we are confident these changes will bring advantages both operationally and strategically in the future. Staff – BABCP is a large organisation with many valued employees. We have recently agreed to implement a staff support line (counselling), and financial help for certain work-related health costs. We have taken on new staff – notably in Finance (Moragh Hunt) and strengthened the finance team with a promotion for Isabelle Scrivens and funding agreed for a new finance administrator. We have employed a dedicated full-time Membership and Branch Liaison Manager for the first time (Michelle Livesey), and a part-time Senior Clinical Advisor (Lucy Maddox). As a result, we are more able to influence policy and have joined with organisations more widely to better represent CBT and

psychotherapy. The staff continue to be an important and valued resource for BABCP. On behalf of the Board, I offer my thanks and appreciation for their hard work and commitment. A delivery/communications plan – BABCP is a charity that aims, essentially, to further the practice of CBT. It can only do this through the office and staff, the Board and various committees and subcommittees led by excellent chairs, the branches, and the members. It can only function effectively when all these different aspects communicate and work well together. A key next step is reviewing and implementing changes to strengthen the governance and delivery arrangements in BABCP, with a recently created draft Aims and Objectives document to help inform our wider delivery and consultation processes. It aims to summarise how the Board, responsible for the strategic direction of the organisation, will triangulate this with the office, standing committees and others, to improve communications and deliver of our key goals as a charity. We are also moving to complete a review of governance processes within BABCP, to look at how we can be more efficient and impactful as an organisation. Going forwards – It’s been a very interesting, and at times challenging last couple of years. I wish President-elect Professor Paul Salkovskis every good wish. BABCP is both at times demanding, but also an incredibly important and rewarding organisation to be part of. I’d also like to thank Ross White for all his dedicated work, attention to detail and support over the last two and a half years. He is highly able and effective. Again, the staff in Bury and further afield help the organisation function so well during these times of change. Finally, I’d like to offer my gratitude to all our members - BABCP couldn’t exist without you. We all believe CBT can change lives. Thank you for your contributions in helping achieve that.

Chris Williams, President BABCP

Report of the Trustee Directors for the year ended 30 April 2018

The Trustees, who are also Directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report together with the audited financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2018. Corporate Status The company was incorporated under the Companies Act 1985 (Company number 04839948) on 21 July 2003 and took over all assets and operations of BABCP (the former unincorporated charity) on that date. The company is a private company limited by guarantee and does not have a share capital. The liability of each member is limited to an amount not exceeding £10. The company was registered as a charity on 21 July 2003 under the provisions of the Charities Acts 1992 and 1993 (Charity number 1098704). The company is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. Principal Activities and Objectives The British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP), the ‘Association’, is a multi-disciplinary interest group primarily aimed at people involved in the practice and theory of behavioural and cognitive psychotherapies. However, membership is open to those willing to support the objectives of the organisation. The objectives of the Association are to advance the theory and practice of cognitive and behavioural psychotherapies by the promotion of scientific research and the application of evidence-based practice including assessment, therapy and consultancy, in a wide variety of settings in accordance with the BABCP Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics. In setting our objectives and planning our activities the Trustee Directors have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. The objectives of the Association are achieved through the following activities: • • • • • • • • •

providing a forum for discussion of matters relevant to behavioural and cognitive psychotherapies among members of all helping professions disseminating information about and providing training for behavioural and cognitive psychotherapies by organising conferences, courses and workshops organising the printing, publication and circulation of a journal, magazine and other publications containing articles, information and news relating to behavioural and cognitive psychotherapies making representation to and liaising with public and professional bodies in relation to matters pertaining to the aims of the Association fostering and promoting research into behavioural and cognitive psychotherapies and related matters facilitating the formation of geographical branches and special interest groups in order to promote the objects of the Association and to provide a service to the members encouraging and assisting in training in behavioural and cognitive psychotherapies educating and informing the public about behavioural and cognitive psychotherapies and their availability maintaining standards for practitioners of behavioural and cognitive psychotherapies by providing an opportunity for members who meet the training standards and other criteria, to become accredited

Trustee Directors The membership of the Board from 1 May 2017 to 30 April 2018 is set out below. All served on the Board throughout the year except as otherwise stated. The company has no share capital and there were therefore no Director interests. Chris Williams (President Elect - appointed 23 July 2015, President from 3 December 2015) Kate Davidson (Honorary Secretary, appointed 1 August 2013) Gerry McErlane (Honorary Treasurer, appointed 28 June 2012) Paul Salkovskis (President Elect, appointed 27 July 2017) Allan Brownrigg (Appointed 18 July 2013, resigned 28 March 2018) Michael Duffy (Appointed 28 March 2018) Brenda Davis (Appointed 24 July 2014) Steve Flatt (Appointed 24 July 2014, resigned 27 July 2017) Tom Reeves (Appointed 23 July 2015) Gillian Todd (Appointed 23 July 2015) Ann Gledhill (Appointed 16 June 2016, resigned 27 July 2017) Colin Blowers (Appointed 16 June 2016) Rita Woo (Appointed 27 July 2017) Organisational Structure The Trustees are each elected for a period of three or four years by the full membership of the Association. They serve having been elected as Trustees to act on the Board as ordinary members, President, Honorary Secretary, or Honorary Treasurer. The President usually serves a one-year term as President Elect, two- year term as President and then a further one-year term as Past President, making up a four-year term of office. Elections are held annually with usually three or four places becoming vacant each year, thus staggering replacement of Trustees to provide some continuity. The Company Secretary attends the Board as a non-voting member. A number of standing committees, ad-hoc committees and working groups are made up of Trustees and other members of the Association and have a Board member as Chair or Co-Chair (previously Board Lead) for governance reasons. These committees and groups operate under specific terms of reference with delegated functions from the Board. Each committee and group has its decisions ratified by the Board. Committees and groups operating throughout the reporting period were: Standards Committee (was Conduct Committee), CBT Practitioners Accreditation Committee (was Accreditation and Registration Committee), Finance Committee, Branch Liaison Committee, Scientific Committee, Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy Journal Editorial Committee, the Cognitive Behaviour Therapist Journal Editorial Committee, Communications Committee, Research Fund Committee, Conference Strategy Committee, Fellowship Committee, Course Accreditation Committee. There has also been the following active working groups; Evidence Based Parent Training Practitioner Accreditation Working Group and the Minimum Training Standards Working Group . Chairs of all committees combine with the Board of Trustees to form a National Committees Forum (NCF), which meets twice a year in addition to the Annual General Meeting (AGM). The Trustees meet at least five times a year, including the NCF, but in addition to the AGM. Many committees, groups and the Trustees also conduct business through telephone conferences and suitable electronic means such as email exchanges. New Trustees attend an induction programme. The first face-to-face business meeting for the whole Board is held in September. The Board has also introduced monthly meetings by teleconference in between meeting face-to-face.

Related parties Trustees are required to declare an interest (either direct or indirect) if they are involved in any activities which may compromise their role as a trustee and a monitoring mechanism is in place. All related party transactions during the year have been disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Risk management The trustees have assessed the major strategic and business risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operational finances of the charity and are satisfied that the systems established to ensure regular reports are produced and that necessary steps can be taken to address any issues arising are sufficient to mitigate the charity's exposure to major risks. The trustees regularly perform a thorough risk assessment of all aspects of the charityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities and implement risk management strategies where necessary.

Review of Work of the Association 2017/2018 Overview This last year has seen further continued growth across many areas of BABCP. Membership grew to 11,776 by the end of April 2018, the highest membership so far and showing net growth of 734 over the financial year.This equates to 6.6% growth within the year (5.5% growth within the previous year and an average of 4.6% growth over the last three years).

MembershipMembership net growth increase by volume 800 700 600 500 400 300 200

The Student Membership category was 100 introduced in October 2016.This category 0 2013-14 2014-15 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 showed steady growth to the end of the last financial year with 402 student members, the majority of which were new. At the end of the last financial year there was a total of 1091 student members, an increase of 689. It is suspected that much of the increase in overall membership is due to this. Membership growth however, is still exceeded by the relative growth in accredited members. At the end of April 2018 there were 6159 accredited members (52%) compared to April 2017 with 5586. There has been steady growth of the proportion of accredited membership in BABCP for some years now. In May 2012 there were 3,243, or a third of members who were accredited.This means there has been an average annual increase of over 390 over the same period. Total Membership and Accredited Members

Additional support is provided via a sub-contracted Course Accreditation Registrar (0.6FTE) and with two further staff respectively employed remotely as Scientific Committee Support at University of Reading (0.6FTE) and Scientific Journal Support at Bath University (0.8FTE).There are also four Accreditors working on a sub-contractual basis processing accreditation applications. There has been a significant increase in the volume of CPD events coordinated at Head Office on behalf of the 40 active Branches and Special Interest Groups over recent years.The calendar year 2016 had 68 events coordinated via Head Office.This increased to 73 over 2017. Over 2016 and 2017, 7,500 delegates attended these events. Forty had been coordinated by Head Office in 2018 by the end of June. Nearly 2,000 delegates have attended these events. A further 20 such events are booked over the rest of 2018 and more for 2019.This does not include events coordinated by the Branch or SIG committee themselves that we are made aware of.These numbered eight in 2016, 23 over 2017 and 19 have taken place or are due to take place this year. Several relatively large and significant IT projects have been ongoing over the course of the year having been expecting to launch these in 2017.These projects - including a new CRM-based membership database and website - are long-term investments and will provide significant benefit on an operational level as well as being of strategic importance to the future development of BABCP.These projects have

proved challenging on several levels and continue to be so. However, we are nearing full implementation.This will be a relief for all concerned. BABCP has recruited and welcome new senior staff over the year, namely Lucy Maddox as Senior Clinical Advisor and Michelle Livesey as Membership and Branch Liaison Manager.This remodelled senior management will help implement the future strategic direction of BABCP.This includes also taking greater account of developments in the external operating environment in addition to evolving operations to deliver better and improved services.There is an increased focus on developing resource capabilities to work more effectively and efficiently to meet the immediate and future operational and strategic needs of BABCP.This includes developing staff, ensuring there is sufficient finances to meet current and anticipated obligations and reviewing Head Office accommodation requirements.This coming year there will be a focus on helping maintain and develop resources to assist our volunteers who do such valued work on behalf of BABCP.

Senior Clinical Advisor The Senior Clinical Advisor role is a new post, and since being appointed in May 2017 I have been getting to grips with the structure of the organisation and collaboratively defining the limits of the role. There are three main areas in which my work has been focused, although tasks and projects often overlap these categories: 1. strategy and policy 2. communication and public engagement 3. providing clinical consultation Some examples of the things I have been working on are below. Strategy/Policy • • • • • • •

Working to liaise with other main psychotherapy organisations: BPS, BCP. UCKP, BACP on key issues including joint stance against conversion therapy and joint stance against benefit sanctions. Representing BABCP at policy meetings Working with the Board to clarify BABCP’s position on key issues Working with members to respond to government consultations on depression, child and young person mental health, and regulation of psychotherapy. Liaising with CBT4Wales and contacting Welsh Ministers about CBT provision in Wales Working with the Company Secretary to make representation to the Irish Parliament to offer assistance as regards regulation of psychotherapy Input into senior staff discussions on strategy

One of the areas I wish to focus on in the coming period is providing more BABCP input into the development of public policy. One of the ways to do this will be to assemble a register of experts to cover specific areas of therapy.This will help BABCP respond to the likes of consultation requests in a timely manner when the deadline for submissions is often at very short notice. If any members are interested in volunteering their expertise to input into the likes of government or NHS consultations, please contact me at lucy.maddox@babcp.com . Communication and public engagement In addition to the work above I have also been involved in • • •

Reviewing public engagement within BABCP Producing BABCP press releases Developing a podcast ‘Let’s Talk About CBT’

• • • • • • •

Writing lay articles such as ‘CBT for sleep’ Developing a webpage of first person accounts of CBT Assisting with fresh BABCP leaflet content Helping develop a communications calendar and suggested campaigns Developing a Communications Crisis Plan Helping plan video footage of the Annual Conference to enable greater accessibility Linking with members and communications team to respond to media enquiries

Clinical consultation • • • • • •

Handling individual enquiries, and generating commonly asked questions about CBT webpage Helping the IT SIG to coordinate guidelines on use of technology to deliver CBT Contributing to a working group on supervision guidelines Contributing to a working group on evidence-based parenting courses Generating compassion fatigue resources for clinicians Attending the Reading Well Book Selection working group

Course Accreditation Committee BABCPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s course accreditation processes evaluate standards of CBT training and the extent to which courses ensure that graduates meet the Minimum Training Standards for CBT practitioner accreditation. The Committee continues to liaise and collaborate with academic institutions, national bodies (such as IAPT and NHS Education for Scotland) and other stakeholders, delivering a valued service which is recognised within the UK and Ireland, as well as internationally. Courses are accredited in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England. Working with over 90 programmes, 62 of which have achieved accreditation; the Course Accreditation Committee fields many enquiries and continues to work with national bodies and academic institutions to develop our processes in line with developments in CBT training. Currently the Committee is looking at widening participation in course accreditation by considering potential processes for CBT trainings which do not meet our existing accreditation processes, by promoting the inclusion of people with lived experience in CBT training and in the Committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work, and by delivering course accreditation to all of the home nations. We also have accreditation processes in place for specific populations and for other areas of specialist work. In addition to accrediting courses, the Course Accreditation Committee upholds and contributes to meeting the Objects of the Association in a number of ways including maintaining standards for CBT training; ensuring that accredited courses expect their students/trainees be members of BABCP, and therefore sign up to a CBT-specific code of conduct/ethics and ensuring that trainers and supervisors are accredited as practitioners. The team collaborates with key stakeholders, for example organising and delivering a Course Directorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meeting twice per year, to which course representatives are invited regardless of accreditation status, and working internally with the Practitioner Accreditation Committee, for example through delivering KSA assessor training. The Course Accreditation Committee is taking an active role in proposing and advancing relevant research projects. This will enhance the evidence base for the services we provide to the Association and stakeholders. The Committee is also involved in the current review of guidance on the Minimum Training Standards and the Core Curriculum Reference Document, which offers opportunities to improve and enhance the services we offer, and in particular, provides an opportunity to include technological developments in the standards that we set. The Course Accreditation Committee members are: Sarah Corrie (Chair) Gillian Haddock (Past Chair) (Deputy Chair vacant) Chris Brannigan (Academic Lead) Rod Holland (Workforce Development Lead) Michael Townend

Gillian Rayner Satwant Singh Nicky Dummett (Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Speciality) The committee is served by: Helen Macdonald (Course Accreditation Registrar) Rachel Osborne (Course Accreditation Support Officer) Trustee Board member(s) for Course Accreditation committee (Co-chair - post vacant since July 2017) Helen Macdonald, Course Accreditation Registrar

Practitioner Accreditation The last 12 months in the Practitioner Accreditation Committee has been both very active, eventful and at times challenging. I officially took over from Mandy Cole as Co-chair alongside Brenda Davis from BABCP Board. Many of you will know I am not new to accreditation having represented the profession of nursing on the accreditation group for many years. Mandy had been chair of practitioner accreditation since its inception and she officially retired from the post in July 2017. As some of you will know we usually meet twice a year in February and October, with a brief meeting at the BABCP Annual Conference if it is felt necessary. I chaired my first meeting in October 2017. A key focus of activity for the committee during the last year has been the changes to re-accreditation proposed by the President Chris Williams and supported by the BABCP Board. As a consequence of these changes the BABCP membership may be aware that reaccreditation processes have not run as well as we would like during this period of change. As a result there has been a significant hiatus in terms of instigating the new reaccreditation process.This has been due to a range of challenges including IT issues which are now well on their way to being resolved. There has been extensive dialogue and debate around the proposed changes to reaccreditation processes which has significantly impacted on the workload of the BABCP central office staff and the committee members. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the BABCP central office staff and the committee members for their fortitude and resilience through what has been a trying process of change. The BABCP central office Accreditation Liaison Officer team have also worked valiantly this year to keep abreast of a significantly increased workload during Senior ALO Charlie McConnochie’s absence. Charlie’s leadership has been missed in the office and his absence at committee meetings has been felt keenly. We wish him a speedy return to good health. I would like to thank the ALO’s for their professionalism, hard work and commitment in challenging operating conditions. I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our Company Secretary Ross White who has guided me with great patience and dedication through my first year as Co-chair. Without his guidance I would not have survived thus far. The other key decision we have made has taken with the full support of the BABCP Board is a review of the Minimum Training Standards (MTS) for accreditation. A working party was established in spring 2017 and a series of meetings have taken place with a view to reporting at our October 2018 meeting and then subsequently to the Board.The anticipated outcome will be a draft document that will be sent for consultation to our key stakeholders with a proposed grandparenting phase prior to the revised being formally adopted by the association. Reflecting on the committee activity over the last 12 months it is clear to both ourselves and the Board that in the current healthcare climate it is no longer viable for the work of the Practitioner Accreditation Committee Chair to be completed by one voluntary professional. As the organisation looks forward to the mid and longer term we are operating in a climate where governance and accountability are at the forefront of policy and decision making. As such we need to adapt and evolve how the organisation is led and run to meet these environmental challenges and prosper as the lead organisation for CBT in the UK and Ireland. In this vein I would like to encourage the membership to participate fully in the activities of BABCP and to contribute to the upcoming change processes. Increasingly the organisations we belong to appear to become more corporate and the reasons we chose to become involved seemingly more obscure.The BABCP is a democracy, the definition of which is government of the people, for the people, by the

people - you are the BABCP. I therefore encourage you to participate actively in the organisationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s endeavours for that is how we survive and thrive.The organisation belongs to you and the future of it is yours to shape. Anne Garland - Co-chair Brenda Davis - Co-chair

Standards Committee The Standards Committee presided over 25 complaints over the year following on from an amendment to policy at the last AGM where it was approved that BABCP also now refers complaints to a member’s ‘significant employer’ where such an employer exists such as NHS, for investigation. Three of these complaints were carried forward from the previous year. The most significant growth in BABCP membership continues to be members without a core profession. Where complaints are raised against these members, BABCP is liable to consider them. Complainants are otherwise deferred to a statutory regulator such as the Nursing and Midwifery Council, Health and Care Professions Council or General Medical Council. The Standards Committee awaits the outcome of the UK Government public consultation on professionalism in the healthcare sector. This may have a significant impact on the complaints BABCP considers in future, notwithstanding the wider impact on BABCP membership. It is not yet known what the outcome of this consultation will be. Of the 25 complaints considered, one member was removed compared to four the previous year. Thirteen complaints were dropped during the investigation or were not upheld. Eight complaints are pending. Pending complaints are where a complainant has been referred to an employer (1) statutory regulator (5) or Healthcare Ombudsman (2) or where, occasionally, further information is awaited in support of the complaint. Four complaints were being carried forward as ongoing, one of which is an appeal against a sanction. The committee met three times in person with an additional investigative panel meeting. Other business was carried out remotely. However, the Standards Committee encourages and anticipates further progress into moving the complaints procedures securely online so offering further accessibility to all interested parties. The Standards Committee welcomed Rita Woo from the Board and George Dimitrov as new committee members. Finally, I must continue to offer my thanks to the committee - who are all volunteers - for their ongoing generous service. Members of the committee are: Krish Nath, Co-chair Rita Woo, Co-chair (joined September 2017) Caroline Dugen-Williams, Vice-Chair Chris Cullen Chris Brannigan Bill Davidson Howard Lomas George Dimitrov Krish Nath – Co-chair Rita Wood – Co-chair

Scientific Committee The Scientific Committee has spent the past year organising the 2017 Spring Conference in Cardiff and the 2017 Annual Conference in Manchester. Attendance for the Manchester meeting is looking very positive, with an increase over recent years. Plans are now under way for the 2018 conferences, with the Annual Conference to be held in Glasgow. The Scientific Committee has filled a number of vacancies. Colin Blowers is taking over from Kate Davidson as co-chair, and the possibility of a further co-chair from within the Scientific Committee is being explored, to ensure that a future transition can be conducted smoothly. Glenn Waller - Co-chair Colin Blowers - Co-chair

BABCP National Conference and Workshop Report 2017/18 2017/18 has been another successful year for the National Conference and Workshop Organisation with Glenn Waller continuing as the chair of the Conference Scientific Committee, joined by Colin Blowers who took over the role of Co-chair at the beginning of the year. The Conference Strategy Group which was established in 2015 and takes an overview of conference organisation and develops the long-term plan for the future has continued to meet by teleconference and a face-to-face meeting during the Spring event in March 2018. Last year we held our summer Annual Conference and Workshop programme at the University of Manchester and our Spring event took place at Kings College London. The Annual Conference in Manchester attracted over 1000 participants making it our biggest meeting for four years. The programme included13 pre-conference workshops, 17 Keynote speakers, 16 skills classes, 53 symposia, 4 clinical round tables and 43 posters. 227 papers were presented in the symposia. 388 delegates registered for the pre-conference workshops and all 13 workshops that were offered ran. The conference attracted 727 paying delegates plus a further 182 delegates who were complimentary either because they were keynote speakers, organisers, stewards, BABCP staff and BABCP complimentary registrations or exhibitors. Delegates come from all parts of the UK including England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and the Channel Islands. In addition, we have presentations and delegates from Australia and New Zealand, Canada and the USA, Japan, Singapore, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Poland, Turkey and Bulgaria, India, Egypt, the Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Israel making it not only a national event but a global conference (22 other countries). We overachieved on the number of registrations we anticipated and as a result achieved a financial surplus The Spring event with the theme â&#x20AC;&#x153;Understanding and Treating the Psychopathology of Abnormal Cognitive Experiencesâ&#x20AC;? took place at Kings College, London (Waterloo Campus) in April 2018. Five workshops were advertised but one had to be cancelled because the workshop leader became unavailable. All these workshops had good numbers with a total of 155 registrations which was our highest number for a spring event since 2014 when we ran six workshops. The one-day conference on the same theme attracted 124 registrations which again was the highest number since 2014. Both the workshops and the conference were over the breakeven numbers that we budgeted for and it is anticipated that we will achieve a small surplus of ÂŁ4,000. Feedback on all the workshops for both the summer and spring events was very positive in terms of presentation, content and usefulness and the scientific standard of the conference and quality of the presentations was consistently rated very good - excellent by most people. Future Events The 2018 Conference at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow is likely to be a success with all the workshops running and the number of participants for the Conference meeting our expectations Plans are underway to run a Spring event in London in 2019 and the Annual Conference will be held in Bath in September 2019 to enable BABCP members to attend the World Congress in Berlin which will take place in the July. We will return to our usual dates in July 2020 when the Conference will be held for the first time in Wales, in Cardiff. The first meeting and site visit took place in April with the Welsh branch group who will be a key part of the organising committee

Following the success of the bid submitted on behalf of the Irish Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies we now have a commitment to hold BABCP’s Annual Conference in Belfast at the same time as the EABCT2021 meeting. The bid recognised that IABCP is also the Irish Branch of BABCP and that BABCP will be financially underwriting the congress and taking any risk. BABCP will play a major role in the organisational and scientific committees and will be using its resources to support the congress. Combining the EABCT Congress and the BABCP Annual Conference in the same way that we did in London and Manchester will help ensure its success. Preparations are also underway to develop a proposal to hold BABCP’s 50th Anniversary Conference at Imperial College London in 2022. It is a venue that has been used by BABCP in the past with success. A full proposal will come to the Board in 2018/2019.

tCBT has also now been accepted for inclusion in Scopus but the content is not yet appearing, where then data feed is established we will be publicising this. The recent Special Issue on Complexity in CBT (guest edited by Stephen Barton and Claire Lomax) has been published and a large number of articles have been received, and are out for review, for the planned Special Issue on Cultural Adaptations of CBT (guest edited by Andrew Beck, Faramarz Hashempour and Lydia Stone). A roundtable discussion on this topic has also been accepted for the BABCP 2018 Annual Conference. Richard Thwaites - Editor-in-chief, the Cognitive Behavioural Therapist

Branch Liaison Committee Branches and Special Interest Groups across the country continue to provide high quality training events for BABCP members. Dissemination of evidence-based practice, a diversity of cutting edge topics, the inclusion of a variety of therapeutic modalities i.e. Compassion Focused Therapy, ACT and DBT and platforms for community events ensure an inclusive and rich programme for its members. New branches and SIGs continue to emerge i.e. Long-Term Conditions SIG, East Kent Branch, adding further to the diversity of the organisation and ensuring greater attendance from members in more remote areas. The Branch Liaison Committee (BLC) is the largest of the BABCP national committees bringing together a representative (known as a liaison officer) from each of the current branch and SIG committees. The branch meets twice yearly as follows: Âˇ

A two-day event is held at the Etihad stadium in Manchester for all liaison officers, which includes a half day committee meeting, networking, finance updates, governance and any updates or changes to financial arrangements. This is also an opportunity for branches to share events they have run, plans for future events and ideas on how to enhance community involvement etc. The event also aims to ensure that branch members can discuss more branch specific issues i.e. any difficulties that they may have experienced in running local branch events. Expertise is also shared regarding financial, governance, IT and advertising issues to ensure robust practice and support to local branches.

Âˇ

A full day meeting for Liaison Officers ensures that issues are managed and considered in line with a communication pathway that is intended to connect the individual member with the central staff and committees of BABCP.

Each year the BLC presents an award to a Branch or SIG that has shown high levels of activity and innovation in their events. This award is named in honour of former liaison officer Neil Harmer who died in 2013. This year the Neil Harmer Award will be presented at the Annual Conference welcome meeting on Tuesday 17 July. We would like to say a very big thank you to all of the branch members who work so hard in volunteer roles to organise and hold events throughout the year. The BABCP really could not provide such a diverse and engaging programme without you all. We are proud that we continue to disseminate evidence-based practice enhancing treatment and understanding of mental health conditions and ways to alleviate suffering. We hope that we can continue to encourage communities to engage and be involved in local branch events and that the BABCP becomes a platform to further increase mental health awareness and reduce stigma.

Research Fund Following a decision made by Board, the Research Fund was capped at ÂŁ200,000. This provided sufficient funding for BABCPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current PhD and project commitments. There were no further grants awarded within the financial year. The fund now solely depends on the monies raised from Gift Aid so please do remember to Gift Aid your membership subscription fees on renewal. Progress on current research awards is detailed below. David Veale - Co-chair Research Fund Committee Kate Davidson - Co-chair Research Fund Committee Summaries of ongoing projects;

A Pilot Study of a Group Intervention for Couples Affected by Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Grant holders: Dr Marion Cuddy and Dr Katherine Rimes This project officially began in February 2017. The initial months focused on obtaining the approvals required to conduct the study, and on developing the treatment manual. It took over 6 months to for approval to be granted (by the local Research Ethics Committee, the Health Research Authority, the South London and Maudsley Research Office, and the Psychological Medicine and Integrated Care Clinical Academic Group), so the study has been somewhat delayed. A treatment manual for the intervention has been developed with input from Dr Kate Rimes, Professor Don Baucom, and an advisory group consisting of two lay members with experience of depression and long term health conditions, as well as a psychological well-being practitioner with experience of working with people with chronic fatigue syndrome. The advisory group has met on two occasions so far and has also provided feedback by e-mail. Recruitment began in September 2017. So far, 3 couples have been recruited and a fourth is due to be assessed the first week in May. Two couples are currently mid-treatment, and one couple is just beginning. So far, participants have engaged quite well in therapy, although there have been some cancelled appointments due to fatigue/ill health. Clients are completing outcome measures and have consented for sessions to be audio recorded. In order to increase recruitment, I have been liaising with the specialist chronic fatigue unit at the Maudsley Hospital and at local GP surgeries. The study is running behind schedule, due to the time taken to obtain approval from various committees and to slow recruitment. It will still be possible to complete the project, but this will take longer than initially estimated. Dr Marion Cuddy, April 2018

The Psychological Interventions for People with Severe Mental Illness in Later Life (PIPSMILL) Project Dr Katherine Berry and Professor Gillian Haddock The number of people growing older with severe mental illness (SMI) is rising, reflecting societal trends towards an aging population. Evidence suggests that older people are less likely to seek help, be referred for and receive psychological therapy compared to younger people, but past research has

focused on those with mild to moderate mental health needs. Our research aimed to identify the specific barriers faced by older people with SMI. We interviewed 53 participants (22 service users with SMI aged over 50 years, 11 carers of people with SMI, and 20 health care professionals) about their views and experiences of accessing therapy for SMI in later life. Thematic analysis of interview transcripts revealed five themes: organisational and resource issues; myths about therapy and attitudinal barriers; stigma; encouraging access to therapy and meeting age-specific needs. In summary, barriers faced by older people with SMI are not only age-related, but also reflect specific issues associated with having a SMI over many years. Improving awareness of the benefits of psychological therapies is important not only for older people with SMI themselves, but also for their carers and staff who work with them.

A Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial to Assess the Feasibility of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Delivered in Intensive and Weekly Treatment Forms for Treatment Resistant Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Grant Holders: Dr Josie Millar and Professor Paul Salkovskis This project is in abeyance and is expected to proceed over 2018-2019.

Accounts Overview The financial year ending 30 April 2018 realised a surplus of £34,815 compared to a forecast based on anticipated operating income and expenditure of £66,527. Last year a change in policy was brought in where income is spread across the period of time it relates to. The main impact of that is that some areas of reported income, mainly subscription-based income, will include some deferred income received from previous periods. This amounted to £43,121 and is allocated between local branch event related income, membership subscriptions and Accreditations. Financial income for the Association increased to £1.578 million in comparison to the previous year of £1.352 million. This increase includes the deferred income explained earlier. However, there is a marked reduction in Gift Aid. Changes in statute may negatively impact on this income in the future. However, this reduction is offset by a larger increase in overall event and workshop related income and where this was in deficit the previous year. Also noteworthy is that BABCP’s annual conference visited Manchester. The event was well attended and contributed over £30,000 compared to a slight deficit in the previous year when the conference was held in Belfast. There are several other notable differences in income and expenditure from 2017 to 2018. Expenditure increased overall by £197,000. This includes provision for an accrual of around £85,000 for costs regarding High Court proceedings brought against BABCP within the financial year. This is included within the reported increase in legal costs of around £92,000. Further comment regarding the High Court proceedings cannot be provided within this report until an agreed outcome statement has been agreed. Employment costs increased by over £110,000 due to new staff coming into post and an increase in pension contributions. Added to this are additional premises rental costs. A marked decrease in supporting travel, accommodation and subsistence was offset by a similar increase in depreciation against new IT systems brought in the previous year. There is also a significant reduction in Professional Fees of £40,000. BABCP investments still perform well as reported in a subsequent section of this report.

Membership Subscriptions 2018/19 The economic and political climate has proved to be continually detrimental to the charitable and not-for-profit sector. BABCP feels the impact here indirectly, such as via members in the NHS being afforded less opportunity to attend CPD events or directly as BABCP seeks to provide a membership package that provides good value for money but without inviting undue financial risk due to the cost of that provision. Providing an affordable but attractive membership package is a challenge for most membership based organisations across the sectors BABCP operates in. However, despite a changing operating environment membership numbers have still grown to reach nearly 12,000. The proportion of members with accreditation continues to grow and now exceeds 52% of membership. Work has continued to make the process of practitioner accreditation and reaccreditation more robust whilst remaining accessible. The Board is committed to ensuring sufficient financial reserves are accumulated to meet known obligations whilst keeping access to enough cash reserves to cover three months operating costs. Investments are also being reviewed to ensure optimal financial returns are being provided. The Board decided not to propose an increase in membership subscriptions because the reduction to members paying by direct debit is being withdrawn in line with statutory requirements. Of course, in real terms, to some members, this will be an increase of £8 per year. To other subscription categories there will be a more modest increase. Therefore, the standard full annual membership subscription

will be £82.50 if accepted by the membership. The Board has also decided to increase the amount by which the Reduced Rate Membership Subscription become eligible to £22,128. This is consistent with NHS Agenda for Change salary scale Band 4, spine point 16 for 2017-18. This is the level at which the Reduced Rate subscription was originally based. The Board wish to base future qualifying amounts on this figure. The Board believes the organisation continues to offer a membership package that is good value for money and significantly lower than can be found in other comparable organisations.

Investments Selection Policy After taking financial advice and in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Trustees invested £50,000 in the long term investment fund in August 2007. £15,000 was invested with Kames Ethical Equity Fund (formerly known as AEGON) and £35,000 was invested with F&C Stewardship Income Fund. The Trustees considered that the charity needed to achieve long-term capital appreciation and income. The Board will continue to reinvest the accumulated balance on both investment accounts until a situation is reached where the association needs to use the income from the investment as required. In the year to 30 April 2018, the value of these investments increased in value by £4,842 to £82,782. The Trustees now believe that the time is right to take financial advice regarding any alternative funds that may provide a greater return over the longer term. The ethical investment policy agreed by the Trustees is: BABCP adopts an ethical investment policy, which is in line with its responsibilities as a registered charity, and which complements the aims and objectives of the organisation. In this respect it seeks to invest with companies who have proven socially responsible portfolios and to have its investments managed by financial advisors who are ethically led with a demonstrable record of sound financial control and planning. In this respect the policy statement reflects the aims and objectives of our charity: 1

BABCP considers ethical investment is consistent with the aims and objectives of the organisation.

BABCP adopts a policy of supportive ethical investment. That is, investing in companies with a commitment to responsible business practices, positive products and services. BABCP does not consider it appropriate to invest by negative screening.

Whilst investing ethically, such a policy is not in conflict with its requirement to maximise funds for the benefit of the organisation, and ensure that such a policy does not involve a risk of significant financial detriment.

The remaining funds fluctuate throughout the year and are held in interest-bearing deposit accounts. During the year as these funds fluctuate, it is agreed by the Trustees that the money should be invested on the Money Market for fixed short-term periods (seven days upwards, but more usually for three-month terms) to attract higher interest rates and to meet their requirements to generate income and secure capital values. The Finance Manager, in consultation with the Honorary Treasurer, will accordingly decide the amount and period of investment to allow sufficient funds to remain in the current accounts for immediate use.

Grant-Making Policy Eighteen years ago a Research Fund was set up with the ultimate objective of making grants for research relevant to the objectives of the Association. In 2007 the fund achieved sufficient assets to be able to make annual grants. The Trustees have a policy for making such grants and they have invited

applications for Research Grants in previous years. Last year it was agreed that applications would be considered for grants of up to £100,000 by the Research Fund Committee. The Research Fund Committee recently made recommendations to the Trustees to fund a number of projects and these are currently under consideration. There were no new research grants approved over the 2017-2018 financial year. Grants depend largely on the monies raised from Gift Aid. The Research Fund is reviewed on an annual basis to ensure it does not exceed £200,000 except where specific externally supplied donations supplement Gift Aid income. Where funds exceed £200,000 the surplus is to be redirected into general funds.

Reserves The Trustees have reviewed the level of free reserves, which are unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets held by the charity. Although they are satisfied that the level of reserves is adequate, the aim is to increase financial reserves to comfortably cover three months expected operating costs. At the last day of the financial year, the amount of reserves was £242,410 (2017: £207,595) of which designated funds were £200,000. It should be remembered that designated funds are still unrestricted funds.

Funding The Trustee Directors are satisfied that the charity's assets are adequate to fulfil its obligations. The main source of funding continues to be annual subscriptions from members for their membership and accreditation. Membership subscriptions can always be increased to meet the costs of any additional services to members but the Trustees have to consider carefully what level of subscription members will accept without withdrawing from membership. The charity has exceeded a 92 per cent renewal rate or better for very many years and at this level there have always been more new members joining each year than required to maintain the membership volume. Accreditation fees and subscriptions cover the cost of providing accreditation services. The trustees review these costs and can adjust the fees accordingly. Gift Aid also provides a source of income. As members join the scheme the charity can recover an additional 25 per cent of membership subscriptions from HM Revenue and Customs. However, all Gift Aid income goes to the Research Fund which is a designated fund. Selling of advertising through the Association media is a continuing supplementary source of revenue. The Trustees are seeking to increase this through special advertising supplements and advertising through the internet and social media.

Risk Assessment The Trustee Directors have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operational finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the charity's exposure to major risks. The Trustees have embarked on a thorough risk assessment of all aspects of the charity’s activities and implementation of risk management strategies.

Statement of Trustee Directors’ Responsibilities Company law requires the trustee directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the financial position of the company during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustee directors should follow best practice and: -

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

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

The trustee directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the company and which enable them to ascertain their financial position and to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 1993 and regulations thereunder. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Statement as to Disclosure of Information to Auditors So far as the trustee directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company’s auditors are unaware and each trustee director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a trustee director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditors are aware of that information.

Small Company Exemption These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Charity Requirements This report has been prepared in accordance with requirements set down by the SORP 2005.

The Auditors The auditors, Ainsworths Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE TRUSTEE DIRECTORS

………………………………………… Director/Trustee Dated:

Independent Auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Report

to the Members of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies Qualified Opinion We have audited the financial statements of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (the 'charity') for the year ended 30th April 2018 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Notes to the Financial Statements, 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, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the financial statements: -

give a true and fair view of the state of the charityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affairs as at 31st March 2018 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 Qualified Opinion The charity implemented a new computerised membership management system during the year which transfers data into its computerised accounting software. Neither the new system or the accounting system can produce a debtors report and therefore we have been unable to obtain sufficient audit evidence to satisfy ourselves that trade debtors of ÂŁ94,694 at 30th April 2018 are free from material misstatement. As a result of this matter, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments might have been found in necessary in respect of recorded or unrecorded income, and the elements making up the Statement of Financial Activities, and the Statement of Cash Flows. 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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC'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 We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or

the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charity's ability to continue to adopt the going concern

basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Other information The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Report of the Trustees, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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, 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. Opinion 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 Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees. Arising from the limitation of our work referred to above: -

we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit; and

we were unable to determine whether adequate accounting records have been kept.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: -

the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small

companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees. Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities set out on p44, the trustees (who are also the directors 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 trustees determine 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 trustees are responsible for assessing the charity'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 trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Our 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 a Report of the Auditors 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. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. Use of our report This report is made solely to the charity'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 trustees those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors 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 the charitable company's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 April 2018 1

ACCOUNTING POLICIES Company information The British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales. The Company number and registered office can be found in the Trustees report. Basis of preparing the financial statements The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Accounting convention The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1st January 2015) ~ (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011. The British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note. Incoming resources All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Income is the amount derived from ordinary activities and is stated after trade discounts, other sales taxes and net of Value Added Tax. Membership subscriptions and accreditations are accounted for when due. All such income is deferred when it is received in advance of the period to which it relates. All other income is recognised on an accruals basis, with income relating to events after the year end being deferred. Resources expended Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management

and administration of the charity. All support costs are allocated between the activity expenditure categories on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Support costs are apportioned on an appropriate basis e.g. time spent, floor areas, or estimated usage. Grants Payable Each year the charity makes grants for research to be carried out into behavioural and cognitive psychotherapies. Any liability is only recognised when an obligation arises. Branch transactions Branch transactions are included in full in the financial statements. Intangible fixed assets and amortisation Intangible fixed assets represent expenditure developing the website which is written off over its expected useful life of three years. Tangible fixed assets and depreciation All tangible fixed assets are capitalised at cost. Depreciation is provided so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over its expected useful life as follows: Office equipment

15%

reducing balance

Computer equipment

50%

reducing balance and straight line

Assets under construction are not depreciated until they become operational. Investments Investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on any revaluations or disposals throughout the year. Taxation The company is a registered charity and is therefore exempt from Income Tax and Corporation Tax under the provisions of Section 505(1) of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988. Fund accounting Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustee directors. Designated funds are unrestricted funds which have been designated for specific purposes by the trustee directors. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pensions costs and other post-retirement benefits The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. Contributions payable for the year are charged in the Statement of Financial Activities. Operating leases Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term. Debtors Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Creditors Short term creditors are measured at transaction price. Significant judgements and estimates Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates. The major item in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates must be made is in relation to the pension scheme. Management consult with experts to provide appropriate assumptions on which to calculate projected funding position for the scheme.
