Anti-Fraud and Anti Corruption policies

The anti-fraud and anti-corruption policies recognise that we, as an organisation, are at risk of loss due to fraud and corruption from within the council and outside it.

In meeting our responsibilities relating to fraud and corruption, whether attempted internally or externally, we are committed to having effective anti-fraud and corruption policies designed to:

  • Encourage prevention;
  • Promote detection;
  • Ensure effective investigation where suspected fraud or corruption has occurred;
  • Prosecute offenders where appropriate.

There is an expectation and requirement that all members, employees, consultants, contractors, and service users be fair and honest, and if able to do so, provide help, information and support to assist the investigation of fraud and corruption.
