This policy is made pursuant to section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. It constitutes Thrive Therapeutic Software Limited (Thrive) slavery and human trafficking statement for the financial year ended 31 March 2021. This statement covers the activities of Thrive Therapeutic Software Limited (Thrive).
Thrive provides ‘Software as a Service’ interventions to prevent, screen for and manage common mental health conditions. Apart from this, it provides computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy guided self-help via the app, telephone and videoconferencing. Thrive has currently 70 employees. All of our staff is directly employed. None of our staff is in any category which is seen to be vulnerable to modern slavery in the UK. Our main focus is to ensure that there are policies and due diligence procedures in place for our suppliers.
Thrive is committed to continuously improving its practices to identify and eliminate any slavery and human trafficking in its business and supply chains, and to acting ethically and with integrity in all its business relationships.
Thrive uses a range of suppliers who supply tools and services for the development and deployment of our services, provide services at events and support our operations.
Thrive has resolved to adopt the government’s supplier code of conduct for itself and assesses all suppliers against it. We also have these policies which underpin our approach to tackling the risk of modern slavery in our supply chain:
We continue to monitor suppliers we believe present high modern slavery risks in our supply chain. This includes those who support the procurement of goods and materials for our marketing activities, particularly where those goods and materials are acquired from suppliers in high-risk countries. We use the Modern Slavery Assessment Tool to determine risk (https://supplierregistration.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/msat) .
We do not engage any suppliers that are high risk.
The CFO is responsible for assessing the information submitted by suppliers and factory operators. Should a supplier or factory fail to provide the information requested or to meet Thrive’s expectations, Thrive will take appropriate action. For example, this may include not entering into a relationship or suspending/terminating our relationship with a supplier or asking a supplier not to procure goods from a particular factory.
During the year, we have continued to provide advice and guidance to those teams who have direct responsibility for relevant supply chains. Some of our executive directors have participated in modern slavery training delivered by healthcare services in accordance to NHS standards.
Over the course of the next financial year we will continue to enhance our procedures to help us identify, prevent and mitigate any risks of modern slavery or human trafficking in relation to new and existing suppliers and in relation to our own operations.
This statement has been formally approved by the Directors of Thrive and signed on their behalf.
