Reporting fraud, bribery and corruption

We will not tolerate fraud, bribery and corruption against the council. All reports will be investigated.

If you think someone may be misusing a council service, let us know. We will investigate all reports we receive.

Fraud can be:

• giving false information or documents
• failing to disclose information
• not reporting changes in circumstances when there is legal requirement to do so
• abuse of position

You do not have to give your personal details.

Any information you do give will be kept private and confidential.
