  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

    Other accounting policies

    Sale of goods Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has transferred to the buyer. This is usually at the point that the customer has signed for the delivery of the goods. Rendering of services Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Turnover is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably.

Company activities and impact

Aucademy's fundamental aim is to provde a safe and welcoming space to educate all on Autistic discovery, identity, communication, and culture, as taught by an entirely Autistic team of educators, collaborators, and facilitators. Aucademy provides diverse positive role models leading by example, who can work with diverse learners. We educate across multiple pages and platforms; facilitate Autistic-only, Autistic-led social groups; support Autistic people to develop skills to deliver training and consultation to e.g. local Authorotoes and NHS services, having a positive impact on service provision and services-delivered training for those accessing those services. As a CIC, Aucademy has given work to 12 self employed Autistic people and help them develop their employability skills, valuing their cognitive and emotional labour that is currently given to Aucademy in a voluntary capacity. This has provided these 12 disabled autistic people purposes, with roles that provide disabled Autistic people purposeful opportnities to build skills, including film editing; facilitation of groups; training delivery; working with e.g. the NHS and local authorities as advicates to review, edit, and/or consult on materials, resources, and provide direct feedback about service provision. The BELS- Aucademy peer mentoring project aims to address social isolation, negative self-view, and emotional dysregulation among autistic young people aged 14-19. Led by Dr. Annette Foster and a team of Autistic mentors, the project seeks to improve social networks, self-esteem, and self-advocacy skills through Autistic-led peer mentoring. The key objectives include providing mentoring for Autistic youth with high support needs, creating inclusive spaces for social connection, and enhancing understanding of the Autistic experience. The project has several activities, including developing mentoring program materials, training Autistic mentors on safeguarding and mentoring skills, and piloting the Autistic Discovery Journey program ADJ to address diagnostic support and promote well-being. Autistic Social Group activities and mentoring sessions based on ADJ content contribute to the program's structure. Specific safeguarding and supervision protocols are implemented during mentoring sessions, and participation criteria include age and residence in the Barnet area. The project also involves conducting neurodiversity workshops in schools, professional consultations, and reviewing BELS materials. Through these initiatives, the Aucademy BELS peer mentoring project aims to improve access to education, employment, and training, enhance emotional well-being, foster positive Autistic identity, and promote a shared understanding of the Autistic experience among young people and professionals. Young people who identifies as Autistic - diagnosed or self-identified between the ages of 13 and 19 14-18 was stated on the flyer as not to get younger than 13 or older than 19. They also needed to live in the Barnet area.

Consultation with stakeholders

We had bi-monthly meeting with BELS Autism Support team and asked young people feedback through the process with all the programs we run. Ongoing evaluation and impact measurement are integral, with questionnaires administered before and after engagement with Aucademy programs to assess outcomes. The project team, including Aucademy Autistic team members and BELS team members, collaborates to ensure effective implementation and support for Autistic youth. We also ask parents for feedback via a short Microsoft form and held online training session for parents carers to also give feedback on the programs that their young people were involved in. We also asked for feedback from BELS professionals that accessed Aucademy’s consultancy services this includes teachers, teaching assistance, SENCOS, psychologists, NHS keyworkers supporting Autistic young people at risk, etc. We changed ADJ, ASG and APM quite significantly based on feedback we received from parentcarers, teachers, SENCOS and the young people who took part. Including shortening the sessions from 2hrs to 1.5hr, adding in more fun activities and games as this was requested by the young people and parentcarers. We also ran a ADJPLUS in a school as parentcarers and teachers Sensco’s said young people were too tired after school and didn’t have the energy to take part. This ADJPLUS worked around the schools schedule and is for 1 hour a week with 10 young people. We also added more in person sessions three out of the 10 sessions for a better connection when we are online with young people. BELS and Aucademy will hold a Pan London Conference for Autistic Young People in October 2024. Young people that were involved in the project will be asked to contribute as well as Aucademy Mentors, parents, teachers and professional who accessed the services we provided. Aucademy will also assist in facilitating and securing Autistic speakers.
