Modern Slavery Statement

Introduction 

Worktribe is committed to combatting slavery and human trafficking in its business and supply chains, and we make this statement to assist with compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015. 

As our business has a turnover of less than £36 million, we do not have a legal obligation to produce a modern slavery statement. However: 

• We agree that exploitation within all supply chains ending in the UK is a blight on our society, and we are committed to playing our part in eliminating exploitation; 
• We understand that customers with obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 cannot comply with those duties without our cooperation.  

To that end, we confirm that we have examined our own business and, to the extent that it is reasonably practicable, businesses within our supply chain and we confirm the following: 

• We confirm that within our own business, no relevant offence relating to slavery or human tracking has been committed.  
• We have made enquiries of businesses that supply directly to us and we are confident that no relevant offence is committed in that business.  
• Insofar as it was reasonably practicable, we have examined our supply chains and confirm that we found no evidence of slavery or human trafficking. 

Further details about our business and supply chain are provided below.  

Our business and structure

Our business provides Software as a Service Research Management and Curriculum Management systems to universities and research institutions.  This includes implementation services and ongoing software maintenance.  All components of Worktribe are delivered from the UK.  

The Worktribe business structure is relatively straight-forward. We have two Co-founders and Directors who, alongside the Chief Operating Officer, lead the business. We have in-house teams dedicated to development, dev-ops, sales, implementation and contract management. Teams currently consist of between four to eight employees. These teams are supported by business operational staff. At the time of writing, we have 34 employees.

We operate in the following countries: 

• ​​UK

Our supply chain

Our supply chain is small, consisting of private cloud hosting and back-up suppliers, as well as office stationery suppliers. All suppliers operate in the UK.

We understand that certain industry sectors and geographical regions entail greater risk of exploitation than others. We do not believe that our supply chain is in any of those sectors or geographies.  

Where it is reasonably practicable, we ensure that businesses in our supply chain have made a similar statement relating to slavery and human trafficking. 

Responsibilities 

The person in our business responsible for assessing matters relating to slavery and human trafficking is the Chief Operating Officer.

We also encourage all employees to report on any matters relating to slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains of which they become aware.
