  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 from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. 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.

  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 Freehold building - over 50 years Leasehold land and buildings - over the lease term Plant and machinery - over 5 years Fixtures, fittings, tools and equipment - over 5 years

Company activities and impact

Room To Talk CIC (RTT) continued to expand our capacity and deliver extended therapeutic interventions both inside and outside the prison and immigration estate. Steps were taken to ensure continuity of care and to support the Safer Custody teams within prison and immigration establishments. RTT recruited appropriately qualified therapists to deliver additional 1-1 and group interventions, focusing on new therapeutic models, harm reduction, addictive behaviour, and suicide prevention. RTT also increased capacity to expand services to support prison staff working within Immigration Centres, to provide emotional maintenance within a demanding and uncertain immigration climate, with the announcement of intended closure of asylum hotels, without an onward plan for how ‘custody’s’ (detainees) would be protected and kept safe. RTT provided additional emotional support to manage the uncertainty and the historic trauma reported by this population. RTT provided specialist critical incident trauma debriefs across multiple sites, following incidents of suicide and attempted suicide and alleged assaults on prisoners and prison staff. The therapeutic work delivered by RTT continues to reduce incidents of prolific and serious self-injury, by instilling a sense of self-worth, improving emotional literacy and educating individuals to take responsibility for their wellbeing and demonstrate self-compassion rather than reverting to problematic and anti-social behaviour while serving custodial sentences and within the community. During the last year, positive clinical outcomes have shown a reduction in risk to self and others by addressing verbally aggressive behaviour and providing healthy relationship sessions, identifying unhealthy relationships where personal safety could be at risk. This led to an increase in positivity and engagement in continued personal development and acceptance, both within the prison, immigration estate and the community.

Consultation with stakeholders

Stakeholders are the clients, families and staff that RTT provide therapeutic services to. RTT provide feedback forms following interaction with the clinical service and take direct verbal and visual feedback from our service users that are unable to communicate in written form or in English. In this instance, pictured emojis are provided so the most relevant representation can be selected by the service user. Service users are also encouraged to ask a peer to verbally interpret or translate information on their behalf. An annual wellbeing event is held in each establishment (when operationally possible) where stakeholders are invited to seek and gather more information, make self-referrals or receive in the moment support as required. Monthly site visits are completed by RTT Directors to update clinical governance and thematic referral data. Self-referral waiting times have significantly reduced during the last 12 months due to an increase in 1-1 sessional capacity, introducing short-term solution focused therapeutic models for short stays and those requiring more directive input. Additional therapeutic consultants are delivering more sessions, and a quicker clinical assessment process has been implemented. Group work delivery has increased to accommodate onsite critical incidents where individuals have been harmed or have directly witnessed others being harmed. Improved access for neurodivergent service users and those not identifying as heteronormative have been created via an alternate referral route. The directors are currently consulting on offering a clinical supervision model for staff to improve retention and burnout within both operational and non-operational prison and immigration staff, this would create additional revenue that could increase therapeutic staff levels across all sites.

Directors' remuneration

The total amount paid or receivable by directors in respect of qualifying services was £128,636 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.

Transfer of assets

No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
