Alder Hey’s collaborative campaign with Matalan has raised over £1.7 million to support vital research. The campaign has followed three successive years with 2017’s campaign #GetSpotted involving pyjamas adorned with a fun spot print and the Alder Hey charity mascot – Oli the elephant.

Looking to 2018/19 the environment continues to be challenging with changes to legislation through the introduction of GDPR meaning that some of the more traditional ways of funding are now dying out. During the year the Charity has reviewed its process, policies and practice to ensure it is GDPR compliant. The Charity will continue to innovate in both fundraising and partnership activity to raise much needed funds for Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust. Toward the end of 2018 the charity will be launching its next appeal which will focus on working more strategically with the hospital to establish a national footprint to facilitate further growth. STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS The directors who were in office on the date of approval of these financial statements have confirmed, as far as they are aware, that there is no relevant audit information of which the auditors are unaware. Each of the directors have confirmed that they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that it has been communicated to the auditor. REMUNERATION REPORT The Appointments and Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for determining the remuneration and terms and conditions of the Chief Executive, Executive Directors and non-voting Directors taking into account the results of the annual appraisal process. The Committee is chaired by the Trust Chairman and comprises all Non-Executive directors; it operates in accordance with: • Legal requirements • The principles of probity • Good people management practice • Proper corporate governance The Chair undertakes the annual appraisal of the Chief Executive, who in turn is responsible for assessing the performance of the Executive Directors and Associate Directors. The Committee convened twice during the year with all Non-Executives attending. The Committee’s focus in-year was on succession planning and arrangements for Executive Director vacancies. The Committee received professional advice from the Director of Human Resources and Organisational Development, who has access to comparative information from the sector. The Chief Executive and Executive Directors are employed on permanent contracts of employment, other than the Medical Director who is employed on an interim basis; they are entitled to receive three months’ notice and may give six months’ notice. Provision is included within contracts of employment for contracts to be terminated with immediate effect and without compensation in certain circumstances. In accordance with the Trust’s policy on senior managers’ remuneration, rates of pay for all senior managers are based on job size, market intelligence (including published remuneration surveys) and performance. In addition, this assessment has also taken into account NHS Improvement’s guidance on ‘Established Pay Rates.’ They are also set with regard to the remuneration of other Trust employees who hold contracts under terms and conditions agreed nationally, by assessing relative and proportional rates of pay. The Nominations Committee of the Council of Governors is responsible for setting the remuneration, allowances and other terms and conditions of Non- Executive Directors. It comprises one appointed governor and two elected governors, one of whom must be a staff governor; its other members are the Trust Chair (or Acting Chair in the case of the appointment of a new substantive Chair) and Chief Executive. The Committee’s duties are to review the balance of skills, knowledge and expertise required on the Board in the context of the challenges ahead and in this context to agree job roles, person specifications and modes of advertisement, to undertake short-listing and to make a formal appointment. The Trust Chair is responsible for assessing the performance of the Non-Executive Directors. The Chair’s appraisal is undertaken by the Senior Independent Director using an inclusive process across members of the Board and Council of Governors, in accordance with a policy which has been developed to reflect best practice nationally. For Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration, comparative data is provided to the Nominations Committee from comparative organisations. Remuneration rates for Non-Executive Directors have remained at the level set by the Nominations Committee in 2009/10, with fee levels benchmarked annually against the NHS Providers remuneration survey and other sources. In May 2017 ten members of the Alder Hey Board were asked by NHS Improvement to form an interim Board at Liverpool Community Health NHS Trust, as part of a six month management contract for the continuation of community services in the city whilst a final process was agreed for their transition to another provider. The appointment process for the four Non-Executives was undertaken by NHS Improvement, in consultation with the Commissioner for Public Appointments, which included a pro-rata fee for service payment in Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust 43 Annual Report & Accounts 2017/18
