3 Our Processes for Managing Risk
In order to assess the risk of modern slavery, we use the following processes with our suppliers:
When engaging with suppliers, we ask for evidence of their processes and policies, including
commitments around modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, human rights, and
whistleblowing.

• We review the potential for risk at regular intervals, including the possibility of re-auditing a supplier or conducting spot checks.

After due consideration, we have not identified any significant risks of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking in our supply chain. However, we continue to be alert to the potential for problems.

Additionally, we have taken the following steps to minimise the possibility of any problems:
• We reserve the right to conduct spot-checks of the businesses who supply us, in order
to investigate any complaints.
• We require the businesses we work with to publish a modern slavery statement.
• We collaborate with our suppliers in order to improve standards and transparency
across our supply chain.
• Only senior members of staff who have undergone appropriate training for assessing
modern slavery risks in the supply chain are authorised to sign contracts and establish
commercial relationships in any area where we have identified the potential for risk.
Our staff are encouraged to bring any concerns they have to the attention of management.

4 Our Performance
As part of monitoring the performance of Alpha24 Healthcare we track the following general key performance indicators:
• The level of training amongst our staff
• The speed at which we investigate related complaints, and the effectiveness of any whistle-blowing procedures
Based on the potential risks we have identified, we have also established the following key
performance indicators, which are regularly assessed by our senior leadership team:
• the percentage of suppliers who provide their own modern slavery statements
• the amount of time spent on audits, re-audits, spot checks, and related due diligence
• the level of modern slavery training and awareness amongst our staff
We benchmark our indicators against industry best-practice in order to ensure that we do not put undue pressure on our suppliers that might increase the potential for risk.

5 Our Training
All of our staff receive training and support that is appropriate to their role. In particular:
• Our leadership team receive detailed training in identifying and resolving concerns around modern slavery and human trafficking.
• All of our staff receive awareness-raising information around issues involving modern
slavery and human trafficking, so that they can bring any concerns they have to the
attention of management.
As part of this, our staff are encouraged to discuss any concerns that they have.
Training is refreshed regularly.
