International Fraud Awareness Week 2024

“I would stress that it is not compassionate to allow profiteering fraudsters indefinitely to continue to occupy premises and thereby exclude from such accommodation more needy and deserving families.”

This year’s International Fraud Awareness Week starts tomorrow (17 November) and runs through to the 23rd. Two suggested ways of getting involved are posting on social media with the tag #fraudweek and highlighting the work your organisation is doing and has done to tackle fraud.

An excellent example has been provided by Buckinghamshire Council.

in the meantime, can you identify the citation from a judgment at the head of this article?
