The Chair's Foreword

This year's annual report reflects a very successful period, including two new exciting projects, a new home,

continued growth in income and resources and the passing of a key milestone —25 years as a charitable

organisation.

Over the course of the year we have seen the commencement of our new victim's service contract, VFESS,

providing emotional support to victims of crime, won in a competitive tender from the OPCC. The Willow

Project, another OPCC funded contract, provides crisis and ongoing support to victims of exploitation,

modern slavery and complex needs. A successful bid to the Big Lottery (now the National Lottery) has

allowed us to expand and develop our Family Matters programme. Funding from the Home Office and

Vodafone has further supported the TecSOS programme, as well as the launch and promotion of the Bright

Sky app in the UK and its ultimate rollout internationally.

The new projects and additional funding have resulted in a 28% increase in income. At the same time, we

have seen a significant increase in staffing levels and a corresponding increase in workload for the Core team.

In November we bid farewell to our offices in Chilton after 18 years. The Core team, with very little notice,

found us accommodation at Manor Farm, Aston Sandford. Our impressive new offices in the courtyard

include a large meeting room and a number of hot desks allowing us to accommodate our ever-expanding

workforce.

Great thanks once again must go to my fellow trustees, our staff, volunteers and associates for their

commitment and dedication to our work throughout the year.

We reached a significant milestone in December celebrating our 25'" Anniversary. Founded in 1993, with a

handful of staff working out of the County Police Station in Thame, the Partnership has successfully and

creatively adapted to steer itself through interesting and often challenging times, amidst a constantly

changing landscape of complex funding and policy environments. Our independence is a great strength,

bridging gaps between the voluntary and statutory sector and the criminal justice agencies. 25 years and

two office moves later we find ourselves with nearly 50 staff, a wealth of experience and an enviable

reputation and track record. We look forward to the next 25 years with enthusiasm.

Our Purposes and Aims

The Thames Valley Partnership was established on 17'" December 1993 and registered as a Charity on 14'"January 1994. Our purpose, contained in the company's Memorandum of Association (amended 1"November 2011 by special resolution) is:

~ To promote good citizenship and greater public participation in the prevention and solution of crime,in the counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire; in particular by promoting theeffective partnership of all relevant organisations in these areas on all aspects of community safety.

~ To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming sociallyexcluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them tointegrate into society. 'Socially excluded' means being excluded from society, or parts of society, asa result of one of more of the following factors: unemployment; financial hardship; youth or old age;ill health (physical or mental); substance abuse or dependency including alcohol and drugs;discrimination on the grounds of sex, race, disability, ethnic origin, religion, belief, creed, sexualorientation or gender re-assignment; poor educational or skills attainment; relationship and familybreakdown; poor housing (that is housing that does not meet basic habitable standards); crime(either as a victim of crime or as an offender rehabilitating into society).

~ To promote for the benefit of the public (primarily in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, and Oxfordshire-but nationally if required) in partnership with the police, the protection of people and property from,and the prevention of, criminal acts.

Our aims are to bring people and organisations together to create safer and stronger communities and toseek longer term and sustainable solutions to the problem of crime and social exclusion.

Exam les of direct benefits:TecSOS — immediate protection to victims of domestic abuse.RJ interventions —reduced harm to victims as well as help to reduce offending.

New Leaf - effective resettlement and reduced re-offending.

Family Matters —support for children and families of offenders and breaking the cycle of offending

within families

Our training reaches practitioners and volunteers each year.Our research and practice influences policy development locally and nationally

Exam les of indirect benefits:~ Through training and dissemination events, practitioners share knowledge and best practice

Who used and benefited from our activitiesOur main stakeholders are practitionr. rs from a range of organisations, agencies and professions, We work

with criminal justice agencies, including the police, prisons, probation, local authorities, voluntary and

community organisations from across the area and the private sector. We disseminate and share our work

widely and work to ensure our projects are mainstreamed and sustainable. Victims have benefitted from

our TecSOS, RJ, Willow and VFESS services. Offenders and their families have benefitted directly from ourfamily's court desk, local networks, New Leaf mentoring service and RJ interventions.


Overview of 2018 - 20192018/19 saw an improved financial and delivery position for the Partnership as our business grew with theacquisition of two new services; the Victims First Emotional Support Service and the Victims First WillowProject. We also experienced growth within other programmes. This has enabled us to improve thesupport to our core funds and to sustain our central functions.

Highlights and achievements:

~ Extension/renewal of Contracts with the OPCC and CRC have been agreed with 12-monthextension for 19/20.

~ We retained our core funder, Thames Valley Police for another year.

~ New Leaf recruited a new manager, Judith Baker in 2018 and she has successfully recruited andtrained new volunteers to bolster their mentor numbers. Funding from local CommunityFoundations has enabled us to provide closer supervision and support to our volunteer mentors.

~ Success for Family Matters with the National Lottery. Our Family Matters project was reduced toa skeleton, minimal service for most of this year with one part-time member of staff due to fundingchallenges. An ambitious bid was submitted to the Big Lottery Inow the National Lottery) in thesummer and proved successful. The funding became available from January 2019 to develop an

enhanced programme of support to the families of offenders, including more strategic work andthe development of a new programme in collaboration with Thames Valley CRC.

~ New Leaf and Family Matters have come together to form a new combined service under onemanager with the aim of providing a streamlined service for offenders and their familiesthroughout their journey through the Criminal Justice system.

~ Thames Valley Restorative Justice Service (TVRJS) continued to deliver three well-establishedsister projects; victim-initiated RJ funded by the OPCC, offender-initiated RJ funded by the CRC andprison-based RJ funded through the Prison Service. Our innovative work at HMP Bullingdon whichhas introduced restorative approaches into the prison adjudication system has now trained over 20prisoners in RJ to fulfil a violence reduction role on their wings.

~ TecSOS has continued to grow steadily in terms of its reach into Police Areas nationally; 43 forceshave now signed up to TecSOS. Over 16,002 victims have been supported through the device todate and there have been 2008 activations during the lifetime of the project. A major area fordevelopment in 2018/19 has been the new iteration of TecSOS, TecSOS 3 which has developed asuite of devices/app to support a variety of victim needs including those still living with theirperpetrator. The Bright Sky App developed with Hestia was officially launched at the London

Science Museum in May 2018 and is proving its worth as a step change preventive/informative toolfor victims of domestic abuse with numbers of users growing exponentially. The plan for 19/20 is toroll-out the app into many Vodafone Foundation countries across the world.

~ Following on from our Strategic Review we approached other organisations with a view to mergerand had protracted discussions with one which is based in our region. Due diligence on bothorganisations took place successfully, but the final decision of both Boards was not to go ahead butto leave the door ajar for potential future collaboration.


~ A new service for 2018 - 2020 - Victims' First Emotional Support Service (VFESS) We competed forand won a tender from the OPCC for a new Victims service, a 2-year contract started in April 2018.We undertook a TUPE process of staff and brought over staff from the previous service providers,

Victim Support. This service is now well-established with a new manager, a first responder and a

team of 5 caseworkers.

~ The Willow Team - A pioneering new service, funded through a contract with OPCC, started in

September 2018 to provide crisis and ongoing support to victims of modern slavery, exploitation

and complex needs. The full team of 11was recruited and in place in January 2019; their referralshave grown significantly and a programme of awareness-raising training is being delivered by theprogramme manager, Nicola Bell across the region.

~ The Office move in November 2018 to Aston Sandford, near Haddenham from our office of some18 years in the village of Chilton, went extremely well and although we would not have ideally

chosen to move, the new office is more fit for purpose and is proving to be a very suitable new

home for the Partnership.

Principal Funding Sources

The Thames Valley Partnership has four principal sources of funding.

~ Statutory partners, including Thames Valley Police;~ Charitable Trusts and Foundations;~ Other government or public bodies;~ Private sector organisations.

Investment Policy

The Board of Trustees are satisfied that sufficient monies are left with Barclays Bank pic and Metro Bank picsuch that no day to day transaction charges are levied. There are no other investments owned by, orbenefiting the Charity.

Most of the charity's funds are to be spent in the short term so there are few funds for long term investment.The Board of Trustees are empowered under the Articles of Association to expend the funds of the Charityin such manner as they shall consider most beneficial for the achievement of the objects, and to invest in

the name of the Charity such part of the funds as they may see fit, and to direct the sale or transposition ofany such investments.

Reserves Policy

The Board of Trustees' Finance and Staffing sub-committee report to each meeting of the main Board ofTrustees, and considers that there are sufficient free reserves to cover the day to day running expenses ofthe Charity for three months. This is the period of time estimated to be required as a contingency to wind

the Charity up should this ever arise; the three-month sum is calculated to be in the region of f90,000 (2018:f90,000). The level of contingency reserves is regularly monitored and reviewed.

11


Plans for Future periods

The Charity intends to continue the activities outlined above in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory

funding arrangements. Plans are also in place to develop additional financially sustainable projects thatcomplement those existing. Careful monitoring and control of core costs and the recovery of these costsfrom projects remains key. In addition, new partnership opportunities will be considered that further

enhance the reputation and financial stability of the Charity.

Responsibilities of directorsAs explained more fully in the Statement of the responsibilities of the Board of Trustees, , the Trustees areresponsible 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 is necessary to enable the preparation offinancial 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 group's and the parentcompany's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concernand using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the group orthe parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.


Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statementsOur objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includesour opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conductedin 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 theFinancial Reporting Council's website at www, frc.org. uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms partof our auditor's report,

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019

1.ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The charity is a company limited by guarantee in the United Kingdom. The charity constitutes a

public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in

pounds sterling under the historical cost convention, the Companies Act 2006, in accordance with

Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable tocharities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicablein the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and UK Generally AcceptedAccounting Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.

Income reco nition

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity

is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can

be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received.

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and thesettlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level

of performance before entitlement can be obtained, then income is deferred until those conditions

are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is

probable that they will be fulfilled.

As provided in the SORP (FRS 102) no amount is included in the financial statements for volunteertime.

For legacies, the point of entitlement is the earlier of the date of the charity being notified of an

impending distribution or the date the legacy is received. At this point income is recognised. On

occasion legacies will be notified to the charity however it is not possible to measure the amountexpected to be distributed. On these occasions, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and

disclosed.

Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as on shortterm bank deposit and solely comprises bank interest.

Ex enditure reco nition

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings thataggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal orconstructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will

be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised underthe following headings:

Charitable Activities. These comprise all the resources applied by the Charity in undertakingits work to meet its charitable objectives.Other expenditure. These include the cost of governance arrangements which relate to thegeneral running of the Charity and the compliance with constitutional and statutoryrequirements.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.

22



The Charity may maintain both restricted and unrestricted funds. Unrestricted funds are split intotwo accounts, "undesignated" funds which are utilised for the day to day running of the Charity;and "designated" funds which are held for contingency reserves by the company (see reservespolicy in the report of the Management Committee). Restricted funds represent grants anddonations that are provided by the donor for a specific purpose including for the purposes of thesix main programmes of the Charity. The unrestricted funds represent unrestricted income that is

expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in the furtherance of the objects of the Charity.

InvestmentsIn the financial statements investments in subsidiary undertakings are stated at cost. The carryingamount is subject to an impairment review by the Trustees at the end of each accounting period.

Tan ible Assets and De reciationFixed assets have been recorded at cost, or at a reasonable estimate of their value to the Charity.Depreciation is provided on all tangible assets on a straight-line basis, calculated to write off thecost or valuation of each asset evenly over its expected life, as follows;

Computers and Equipment 4 years

All capital expenditure over f1,000 is capita lised.

Em lo ee benefits

When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which theemployees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in

exchange for that service.

The charity operates a defined benefit plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions areexpensed as they become payable.The scheme was closed to new members in October 2017. It has been replaced by NEST, thegovernment's defined contribution workplace pension scheme.

Taxation

The Charity is exempt from UK taxation under section 505 of the Income and Corporation TaxesAct 1988.

0 eratin Leases

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all the benefits and risks of ownershipremain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight-line basis over the period of thelease.

The accounts are prepared on a going concern basis. The use of the going concern basis ofaccounting is appropriate because there are no material uncertainties related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Charity to continue as a goingconcern.

23



Si nificant ud ement and estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and

assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from

other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and

other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a continuing basis. Revisions toaccounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision

affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affectsboth current and future periods.

Pension Schemes

The pension charge for the Charity for the year was f62,683 (2018:f79,979).

The Oxfordshire County Council Pension Fund

The Charity with other institutions participates in The Oxfordshire County Council Pension Fund, a

Local Government defined benefit occupational pension scheme, which provides benefits basedon final pensionable pay.

At 31"March 2019 there were 12 participating employees (2018: 17). The assets of the schemeare held separately from those of the Charity. Contributions to the scheme are charged to theStatement of Financial Activities to spread the cost of pensions over employees' working lives with

the Charity. The rnntributions are determined by a qualified actuary based on triennial valuations

using the projected unit method and the attained age method,



The most recent valuation was at 31" March 2016. The main actuarial assumptions were asfollows:

1. Discount rates for Admitted Bodies (including The Thames Valley Partnership) are 5.4/0 perannum. The valuation made no distinction between pre and post retirement discount rates.

2. Short term pay increases —in line with the CPI assumptions to 31 March 2020; Long term

pay increases —3.9/o per annum.

3. Rate of increases to pensions and deferred pensions —2.4/o per annum

4. Rate of consumer price inflation (CPI) 2.4/0 per annum.

Due to the nature of the scheme it is not practicable to extract from the scheme funds the amount

attributable to The Thames Valley Partnership. The following information applies therefore to thevalue of the pension scheme attributable to all participating institutions.

The fair value of the assets held by the pension scheme at the actuarial date of 31"March 2016was as follows:

Liabilities to members

Smoothed Asset value

Past Service Liabilities (Agreed Funding Target)1,825m

(2,030m)

Deficit (205m)

The smoothed asset value is made up of 68/0 equities, 11/0 property, 10/0 gilts, 6/0 other bondsand 5/0 absolute return fund.

The valuation at 31"March 2016 showed that the funding ratio of the scheme had improved sincethe previous valuation with the fund's assets being enough to cover 90/0 of the liabilities (2013:82/o) allowing, in the case of current contributions to the scheme, for increases in pensionable pay.

The contribution rates of the Charity and employees increased with effect from 1 April 2017, in

accordance with recommendations from the actuary and are currently as follows:

1. Charity (as Employer): 18.1/0 of pensionable pay.2. Employees: The rates of contribution for participating employees range from 5.5/0 to 9.9/0

of pensionable pay, the rate for each individual employee determined by the level of theirannual full-time equivalent salary.

The next triennial actuarial valuation of the scheme was due as at 31"March 2019 but was notavailable as at the date of approval of these financial statements. Further information on theOxfordshire County Council Pension Fund can be found on the website of Oxfordshire CountyCouncil at www. oxfordshire. gov. uk.

NEST

The Board of Trustees agreed in June 2017 to close the Oxfordshire scheme to new membersbecause the level of employer contributions was no longer affordable. A new scheme was requiredto fulfil auto-enrolment obligations and the Board agreed in October 2017 tn offer new staff thegovernment approved NEST scheme with 3/o employer contributions. At 31" March 2019 therewere 14 participating employees (2018: 1).
