Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 August 2024

  • 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 grants received from various bodies accounted for on an accruals basis. Grants which are revenue in nature are credited to deferred income and are released to the profit and loss account over the period in which the related expenditure is incurred.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows: Plant and Machinery: 4 years

    Other accounting policies

    Debtors Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Creditors Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method. Taxation A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. Provisions Provisions (ie liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Company activities and impact

The principle activity of the CIC is to represent the Parent Carer Forums in North East and Cumbria by working with partner organisations across education, health and social care to improve services for children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Through drawing on regional forums experiences and listening to wider parent carer voice we will work to ensure that services planned and delivered across the regional network are meeting the need of the community. We will work to be a representative voice in commissioning and delivery. Through surveys, meetings, events and information days we will allow parent carers the opportunity and space to share their experiences and provide them with information to empower them to navigate their system. Hosting sessions and events with a focus on SEND systems and how to navigate We have created a strong regional network for Parent Carer Forums. These are well attended and representative of the whole region. They are held bi-monthly and provide the opportunity to share good practice and provide training to forums. This in turn allows forums to cascade information to families/communities in their own local area. Representation has been provided on strategic and decision making boards throughout Education, Health and Social Care. This representation ensures that the voice of parent carers is heard and listened to as we work in co-production.

Consultation with stakeholders

The stakeholders are our 14 Parent Carer Forums which reside in the North East and Cumbria. We have ran polls, surveys and regular meeting to gather feedback. The direction of the CIC is informed by these results.
