The Council is committed to protecting public money.  This means preventing fraud or corruption so that public money is used to provide quality services to the community.  People are entitled to expect the Council to work with integrity, honesty and openness.

 

Fraud includes things like bribery, forgery, extortion, corruption, theft, conspiracy, embezzlement, misappropriation, false representation, money laundering,  concealment of material facts and collusion.

 

If you know of a fraud or something else seriously wrong within the Council and all other relevant policies and procedures have been followed and exhausted, tell us about it.  We will need as much detail as possible, but every case is treated in the strictest confidence.  You can give us information anonymously – but it is much more helpful if we can contact you for a bit more information.

• Your name
• Your address
• Your phone number
• Your e-mail address (if applicable)
• Tell us about the fraud or other serious concern you’d like to report, including a description of the incident or incidents – and give us the names, addresses, dates etc
