Strategy against Fraud and Corruption

Surrey County Council has a duty to protect public funds and wishes to conduct its affairs in a spirit of honesty, integrity and openness. To this extent there are structures and procedures in place to assist in the fight against fraud and corruption.

The strategy sets out the procedures to follow in order to help prevent fraud and corruption and to investigate alleged cases of fraud or corruption when they arise.

Speaking Out (Whistle Blowing) Policy

Surrey County Council is committed to the highest possible standards of honesty, openness, probity and accountability. It seeks to conduct its affairs in a responsible manner, to ensure that all Council activities are open and effectively managed, and that the Council’s integrity and principles of public interest disclosure are sustained. The policy has been published in line with that commitment we encourage employees, those working on behalf of the Council and others that we deal with, who have serious concerns about any aspect of the Council’s work to come forward and voice those concerns. Staff and contractors can use the Expolink hotline service for whistleblowing. You can call them any time, night or day, in complete confidence if you have concerns that another person, acting on behalf of the Council, is involved in criminal activity, fraud, theft or damage to Council property or reputation. Your call will not be traced or monitored. Freephone: 0800 374199

Anti Money Laundering Policy

Surrey County Council will do all it can to prevent the Council and its staff being exposed to money laundering, to identify the potential areas where it may occur, and to comply with all legal and regulatory requirements, especially with regard to the reporting of actual or suspected cases.
The policy sets out the procedures which must be followed (for example the reporting of suspicions of money laundering activity) to enable the Council to comply with its legal obligations.
