Trustees' Report

The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2017.

Objectives and activities Objects and aims Our purposes, as recorded in our constitution, are to promote the benefit of young people [particularly, but not exclusively, those who are seldom reached] in Scotland by advancing formal and non-formal education and furthering health and wellbeing according to the underpinning principles of international human rights conventions and charters and domestic equality and diversity legislation relevant to young people. Established in 1996, Article 12 in Scotland works to equip some of the most marginalised young people with the skills and information necessary to empower them to operate as equal citizens at all levels of society. We undertake our work directly with young people and those who work with them, across Scotland, the UK and elsewhere in Europe via conferences, events and rights and equality based training courses/resources and indirectly via our website. This report is a summary of our key achievements in 2016-17, please visit our Website and Facebook page for a fuller picture of our work. Objectives Article 12 in Scotland works to make human rights and equality a reality for young people, particularly those young people who are marginalised from the mainstream, by: i) Providing environments for young people to meet through which human rights, equality and diversity issues and concerns can be explored and addressed; ii) Encouraging young people to improve the quality of life for themselves and others and promote greater understanding of the human rights of young people; iii) Providing opportunities for young people to become involved in educational activities which enable them to build their social capital and the social capital of others; iv) Creating opportunities for the voice of young people to be heard and given due weight and attention by key decision makers at local, national and international level.


Trustees' Report

Achievement and performance Summary of key achievements Articles 12 in Scotland's activities are reflective of the work plan agreed by the board at their annual strategy meeting. 1. Researching the needs and concerns of young people relating to human rights and equality and presenting the outcomes to key decision makers at local, national and international level The UNCRC Reporting Process The UK session hearing took place in June 2016 with the Committee’s findings [Concluding Observations] being published shortly thereafter. Following publication, Article 12 in Scotland produced a summary report of the Concluding Observations which was distributed across our partner networks as part of the preparation for ‘Phase 2’ - engaging young people from the cluster groups reflected in our initial submissions thereby enabling them to 1) witness the difference that young people’s voices can make and 2) to respond to the Committee’s findings. This engagement included refresher UNCRC workshops as many of the young people engaged in ‘Phase 1’ had moved on and those new to the process identified a need to have a clearer understanding of the UNCRC so that they could better understand the content and context of the Concluding Observations and the role that they might play in responding to them. In addition to this, a seminar, which brought together young people from the cluster groups referenced in our Alternative Reports to the UNCRC Committee [Young Gypsy/Travellers, care experienced young people, young people with disabilities, young people [directly or indirectly] experiencing mental ill-health and young offenders], was convened to begin the process of training participants up as Concluding Observations peer educators/multipliers - thus enabling them to share the relevant finding with their wider peer groups and gather their views and opinions on what steps governments should take to ensure the findings are addressed and how young people themselves could monitor and evaluate progress.

2. Building the Capacity and Social Capital of Young Gypsy/Travellers Young female Gypsy/Travellers We engaged 10 young female Gypsy/Travellers in learning and development programmes. Programmes were established following individual needs assessment. Programmes included: Writing skills; spelling; punctuation; grammar; drivers theory test practice; writing CVs; email communication [these programmes are accredited by ASDAN]; and core skills: public speaking; design and delivery of awareness raising workshops and presentations. Six of these young women were engaged in our partnership work with Planning Aid Scotland [PAS] - In the Footsteps of Patrick Geddes - a PAS devised project which engages groups of marginalised young people to look at planning processes in historical and contemporary contexts and aims to ensure that all communities become engaged in planning, as it applies to them and their communities. In partnership with Show Racism the Red Card [Red Card] the young women co-developed, presented and evaluated awareness raising workshops to 244 primary school pupils in Perth and Kinross. The evaluation report of this work is available on request from [email protected] .


Trustees' Report

Young Male Gypsy/Travellers The following focuses on our work with young males from Edinburgh and Oban.

“Everything is changing, to have work skills and knowledge is not enough to make a living like it was for my dad. I need qualifications so I need to be able to read and write properly”. “The Police stop and search our vans a few times every month … [t]hey usually ask to see our qualifications related to the work we do, probably because they know we don't have any. It would be nice one day to smile and surprise them with a certificate”.

We engaged 16 young males in a variety of learning programmes - pertinent to the expressed needs of each individual. Learning programmes included: Literacies; Driving Theory Test practice; writing CVs; email communication and Construction Skills Certification Scheme [CSCS] training. For qualifications and accreditation we initially used the Award Scheme Development and Accreditation Network [ASDAN] however, following feedback from the young people who informed us that SQAs would be more relevant to them accessing employment, we applied for approval to operate as an SQA Awards Centre. In addition, we are in the process of developing/enhancing our own courses to help fill the core skills gap which is proving problematic for some of the young male Gypsy/Travellers when attempting to access further education/training. Whilst these are being developed for young Gypsy/Travellers they will be transferable and thus will be made available to our partner organisations. In terms of learning outcomes, positive destinations and increased confidence/social capital; the majority of the young men achieved positive outcomes in relation to what they needed for work and further training. One joined his local library to access the Internet and we worked on his literacies face-to-face and remotely. Following support to obtain their Construction Skills Certification Scheme [CSCS] approval three are working full time self-employed in construction. Three have completed their Driving Theory Test with us and have since gone on to pass this and their practical test. One is now enrolled in a hospitality course. Four are engaged with the In the Footsteps of Patrick Geddes project our partnership work with PAS which engages marginalised communities with planning processes. The remaining four are engaged in literacies support to enable them to take part in further training/learning and have enrolled on forthcoming SQA courses.

“For me being able to drive is easy, but passing the theory test is very difficult, without your help I could not have done it”. “This is the first time I have ever been inside an academy, if I was 11 or 12 again I think I would give it a go” [young person speaking about his visit to a secondary school].

As with all young people we work with we use our ‘roadmap’ resource to measure participant’s confidence levels pre/during/after each intervention. In terms of confidence levels; this applies to confidence to apply for work or training and confidence in achieving life goals. All the young men registered a confidence level of 3 to 5 at their needs assessment. At year end the average was 6 to 8 - a 3 point increase. 3. Human rights and equality information and training/learning resources on our website and in any other format for distribution/delivery locally, nationally and internationally In response to a recommendation from the Scottish Parliament’s Equal Opportunities Committee for “the inclusion of positive, non-tokenistic representation of Gypsy/Travellers in the Curriculum” we have produced a resource - ‘Till Doomsday in the Afternoon: A Gypsy/Traveller Perspective on the History, Culture and Traditions of the Community in Scotland - for use in schools and the community learning and development environment. Launched in January 2017 it is now available on Education Scotland’s National Learning Hub. Click here to view the resource.

Trustees' Report

4. Organising and participating in rights and equality based events, conferences and capacity building training for, and in support of, young people thus empowering them to take action, individually or with their peers, for positive change at local, national and international level Working in partnership with organisations, departments, agencies and media such as the BBC; Travellers’ Times; the Scottish Government; ; Show Racism the Red Card; Perth and Kinross, Stirling, Edinburgh City, Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Councils and the Universities of Dundee and Aberdeen we have facilitated and supported young people’s contributions to local, national and international consultations, trainings and events on young people’s human rights and equality issues and delivered human rights and equality awareness raising training to students and practitioners. 5. Social mobility and European citizenship [for young people with fewer opportunities -EVS] Article 12 in Scotland remains an active partner in EVS having sent 2 volunteers to Spain this year. It is unclear how, or indeed if, BREXIT will impact on UK young people’s ability to participate in EVS or indeed any other opportunity available to young people from EU member states. Along with our partners in this work, we are currently lobbying for continued engagement in Erasmus+ and other relevant programmes.

Financial review Policy on reserves The Trustees hold unrestricted reserves sufficient to cover 3 months of operational expenditure.

Principal funding sources Principal funding sources for the reporting period are: the Scottish Government and Big Lottery.

Plans for future periods Aims and key objectives for future periods We are in receipt of core funding to 2020 [subject annual to successful delivery of agreed outputs] and project funding to 2021. We will direct this, and future funds, to further developing our work as set out in our key objectives including, but not exclusive to, the following areas: 1. Continue to undertake research to identify the needs and concerns of young people relating to human rights and equality and presenting the outcomes to key decision makers at local, national and international level; 2. Continue to raise awareness and understanding of human rights and equality amongst young people, and those who work with young people, through the production of rights based information and the delivery of events, seminars and conferences.


Trustees' Report

Structure, governance and management Nature of governing document Article 12 in Scotland is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation and the purposes and administration arrangements are set out in our constitution.

Recruitment and appointment of trustees Article 12 in Scotland is governed by a board of trustees. The board may at any time appoint any person to be a charity trustee - by way of a resolution passed by majority vote at a board meeting. Under the requirements of our constitution, at the conclusion of each AGM any charity trustees appointed during the period since the preceding AGM shall retire from office. A charity trustee who retires from office at the conclusion of an AGM shall be eligible for re-appointment at the next board meeting.

Induction and training of trustees Most board members are already familiar with the practical day to day work of our organisation; however, all members are invited to attend board meetings before being formally appointed. All new board members are provided with training and information relevant to their needs. This includes trustee skills training, and copy of our constitution, relevant reports and resources and current and future work plans.

Organisational structure Article 12 in Scotland has a board of trustees of up to eight members who are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the organisation. A scheme of delegation is in place and the day-to-day responsibility for the delivery of the work rests with the National Co-ordinator.

Major risks and management of those risks General The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. Financial instruments

Objectives and policies The Charity's activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk, cash flow risk and liquidity risk. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the charity’s policies approved by the board of trustees, which provide written principles on the use of financial derivatives to manage these risks. The charity does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Cash flow risk The Charity’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The charity uses foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swap contracts to hedge these exposures. Interest bearing assets and liabilities are held at fixed rate to ensure certainty of cash flows.


Trustees' Report

Credit risk The Charity’s principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables, and investments. The Charity’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows. The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. The Charity has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties and customers.

Liquidity risk In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future developments, the Charity uses a mixture of long-term and short-term debt finance. Further details regarding liquidity risk can be found in the Statement of accounting policies in the financial statements. Statement of trustee's responsibilities The trustees (who are also the directors of Article 12 in Scotland for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: • select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; • observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; • make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; • state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures

disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and • prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the

charitable company will continue in business. The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.


Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Article 12 in Scotland

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2017 which are set out on pages 12 to 23 . Your attention is to drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the Financial Statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has since been withdrawn. We understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to: • examine the accounts under section 44(1)(c)of the Act; and • to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of independent examiner’s report My examination was carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (1) which gives me a reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: • to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006

Accounts Regulation; and • to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with Regulations 8 of the 2006

Accounts Regulations have not been met; or (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts

to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2017

1 Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared under the historical convention with items recognised at coast or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). A summary of the principal accounting policies, which have been applied consistently, except where noted, is set out below.

Going concern The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.

Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement The Charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.

Income and endowments All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.

Donations and legacies Donations are recognised when the Charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the Charity before the Charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the Charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Grants receivable Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Expenditure All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.



Raising funds These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Charitable activities Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Support costs Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Governance costs These include the costs attributable to the Charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and Trustee’s meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Government grants Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.

Taxation The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets Individual fixed assets costing £0.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation and amortisation Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class Depreciation method and rate Fixtures and fittings 25% reducing balance basis



Trade debtors Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the Charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Fund structure Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustee's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the Charity. Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.



Financial instruments Classification Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Charity after deducting all of its liabilities.

Recognition and measurement All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the Charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the Charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the Charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party. Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
