What Thrive is
Thrive Social Science provides a pedagogical framing and resource signposting service for A-level Psychology and Sociology. The platform curates publicly available resources and creates original educational content around them. Thrive does not host, stream, reproduce, or distribute any third-party copyright works. All third-party resources are accessible only via links to their original, lawfully authorised sources.
Your access
During the current beta period, access to Thrive is provided free of charge. We reserve the right to introduce paid tiers in future. We will give users reasonable notice before any free access ends.
Your responsibilities
You are responsible for ensuring you have lawful access to any third-party resource before viewing or using it. If you are a teacher, you are responsible for ensuring that your use of any resource recommended by Thrive complies with your institution’s licences and applicable copyright law.
Our content
All original content on Thrive Social Science — including resource descriptions, Teacher Toolkits, Student Toolkits, discussion prompts, classroom activity cards, and synoptic links — is the intellectual property of Thrive Social Science. Unauthorised reproduction is an infringement of copyright.
Limitation of liability
Thrive Social Science is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or content of any third-party resource to which it provides a link. Links are provided for educational signposting purposes only.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of any changes.
