The Staffordshire Counter Fraud Partnership was created in 2019 to combine resources aimed at tackling fraud across local authority boundaries. It has since expanded to include several local authorities, housing associations and the Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce. By bringing together a wider range of organisations from both sectors, the overall objective - to make Staffordshire a no-go county for fraudsters - is likely to be achieved more quickly and more effectively. Fraudsters don’t care who they target so it’s clear we all need to stand together. The partnership is is a true cross-sector partnership covering a whole county, working together, exchanging ideas and increasing awareness to achieve one common aim.
The networking event is aimed at raising awareness and encouraging organisations from both the public and the private sectors to exchange ideas and promote the over-arching message – to develop a county-wide anti-fraud culture and make Staffordshire a no-go area for fraudsters.
