In partnership with Lancashire Constabulary, we hosted a Fraud Prevention Event.
Fraud is the highest crime type in the UK, accounting for over a third of all crime. Victims are manipulated and exploited in to parting with their money and can be left devastated from the impact. We are all susceptible to fraud, but often the most vulnerable are targeted or most at risk.
The event was targeted at those who work with vulnerable adults, including care companies, social services, local authorities, charities, adult education establishments and community groups. The aim was to help raise awareness of the risks of fraud, and what to do if someone that your organisation cares for, or supports, becomes a victim. The event also introduced ways in which we can all work together to help prevent people from becoming victims of fraud.
