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

- Affirmed
“The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis as it is the belief of the Board that Bradford Children & Families Trust Limited will continue to operate as a going concern given that the majority of its income is from Bradford Council. The Council have agreed a contract price for 2025/26 with indicative budgets to 2029/30 as part of the business plan agreed with the Council. The contract price is paid on a monthly basis, therefore there is no issue for the Company to pay its future creditors.”
