The Home Office grant makes up about 73% of NAANs total income. See Annex 2 for a more detailed financial overview for the organisation for 2019/20.NAAN is a registered charity aiming to ensure the rights and welfare of the most vulnerable people in our society by developing effective appropriate adults (AAs). They are a membership organisation open to organisations and individuals. NAAN does not provide AAs but many of their member organisations do.Since the publication of Dame Elishs Independent Review of Deaths and Serious Incidents in Police Custody in 2017, there has been a drive from the Policing Minister to improve police custody. More broadly, the Police Powers Unit in the Home Office is responsible for balancing the powers of the police and the rights of the citizen. NAAN will support these objectives through working to improve AA services nationally. Improving AA provision and quality can increase the efficiency of police custody through reducing the waiting times for AAs. It may also prevent miscarriages of justice and increase the efficiency of the criminal justice system, through reducing the likelihood of evidence being obtained from vulnerable people in a way which makes it inadmissible to court or leads to unsafe convictions.In 2019/20 NAAN will focus on the following outcomes:More efficient, effective and consistent development and commissioning of AA services. AA services are often commissioned by Local Authorities or Police and Crime Commissioners, using Government money.Coordinators and providers for AA services have better access to resources and support, with improved knowledge and skillsAAs have improved knowledgeIncreased understanding of, and confidence in, the AA safeguard

The Police Integrity and Powers Unit is responsible for a wide range of policy areas. Principles amongst these are the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) 1984 Codes of Practice which set out the core framework under which the police exercise their powers. The role of appropriate adults in ensuring that young and mentally vulnerable people are able to exercise their rights and understand what is happening to them throughout the police process is outlined under Code C. This covers the detention, treatment and questioning of individuals by police officers. The work of the unit is therefore closely aligned with that of NAAN.
