The company provides training and supervision to practitioners and professionals who are trying to develop their knowledge and skills in helping vulnerable children, adults, and families. The training we provide is often bespoke, designed specifically for those professionals, but we also run evidence-based trainings in mentalization based treatment, and in particular the Lighthouse Mentalization based treatment parenting program. We have run trainings for clinicians and practitioners in the UK, in Poland (a charity working with the most vulnerable children and families), in Chile, Germany, Spain, Lithuania, (online) Portugal, (online) and in Ireland. Some of these trainings, (Lithuania and Ireland and Poland) were subsidized by the company, and one was provided entirely free (Portugal). The clinicians and professionals who were trained have been running groups, meeting the needs of vulnerable children and families, and we estimate in this way that the company has intervened indirectly in supporting the reduction of risk and the promotion of healthy development in at least 750 families. The company has been involved in the training and supervision of social care professionals in the UK, in five local authorities as part of a randomized control trial of the Lighthouse Parenting Program, in collaboration with the Anna Freud Centre and What Works for Children’s Social Care. This trial concluded in July 2022. One local authority, Oxford, has continued to commission training to support family practitioners in their work with families. In addition, we have delivered one group (online) MBT intervention for four local authorities, for parents going through proceedings. We continue to support and promote research in work with the most vulnerable children and families in the UK and worldwide. We continue to support the development of clinicians and early researchers through free or reduced fees for trainings and we paid for a researcher at UCL/Anna Freud to work on data for the company, supporting his development.
We have not had a formal consultation with our stakeholders. However, in designing bespoke trainings we have met with 7 local authorities to design specific trainings for their social work staff to enable them to meet the needs of children and families in 2021 and 2. In recent work we have continued to meet with social care in Oxford and 4 other local authorities, plus charities in Poland and Spain. We are conducting research on the impact of our trainings on staff and their work, we will be publishing on this in 2026. We are collaborating with two leading researchers who are editing a book on the Lighthouse programme, publication planned for 2026.
The aggregate amount of emoluments paid to or receivable by directors in respect of qualifying services was £84,343. No payroll is run by the company and the directors received this as self-employed individuals. There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, or compensation for director’s loss of office, which require to be disclosed.
No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
