The UK Fraud Epidemic - Turning the Tide on Fraud and Scams

Join us for an in person panel session in Parliament to discuss solutions to the UK’s fraud epidemic, followed by a reception to mark the launch of the Cifas Fraud Pledge 2024.

Fraud is the volume crime of our times and represents 38% of all crime. Despite this, the policing response is fragmented and only 1% of resources are allocated to tackling this suite of crimes. In this event, held in conjunction with the fraud prevention organisation Cifas, leading Parliamentarians and experts in the field will put forward their ideas on a practical and workable way forward to protecting the public and the UK economy from this threat to our national security.

The discussion will be chaired by Dame Margaret Hodge MP, with speakers:

– Emily Thornberry MP, Shadow Attorney General

– Simon Fell MP, Prime Minister’s Fraud Champion

– Mike Haley, Cifas CEO

– Ben Donaldson, Managing Director for Economic Crime at UK Finance

More speakers to be announced

This event is being co-hosted by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Anti-Corruption & Responsible Tax and Cifas.
