- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the limited liability partnership's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “On 20 November 2024, members' remuneration payment of £1,532,077 was paid to members. These payments are not recognised as liabilities at the balance sheet date.”
- “The provision of education and residential care for young people is a long-term contract with the public sector and is inherently free of risk so long as quality is maintained, outcomes are achieved and the price is right. However the sector does carry risk that will always be at the forefront of our minds. The most obvious risk is that a tragedy will occur and that the LLP will be held to blame. To date this has not occurred, but we take this risk very seriously.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
