Counter fraud and corruption

What we do to to protect the public funds we administer, how you can report a suspected fraud and our Whistleblowing Policy.

We are determined to protect the council from such actions whether attempted from within or by an outside individual, group or organisation.

We consider fraud to have occurred when a person acts in a dishonest way to make a gain, cause a loss to the council or expose the council to the risk of loss.  Furthermore, we recognise that fraud and corruption undermine the standards of public service, which we promote, and reduces the resources available for the good of the whole community.
