Report a Fraud

If you have concerns regarding fraud and corruption within or against Westminster City Council and want to make the Council aware of your suspicions you can do so by calling the Fraud Hotline on 0800 028 9888.

Any information you provide will be treated in the strictest confidence. You do not even have to give us your name. The Council's Fraud Investigation Team receives allegations and carries out investigations.

We ask that you provide us with as much information about the fraud as possible, as this will enable an effective investigation to be carried out. Council employees are reminded that they too can use the hotline to report a fraud.

The work of the Fraud Investigation Team is split into 4 areas. Those are:

• Housing benefits investigations into housing benefit claimants not entitled to the benefits they are receiving.
• Residents parking permits and disabled badges being wrongfully obtained.
• Instances of Council housing being wrongfully obtained and allocated.
• Internal Investigations into staff and contractors.

We would also be interested to hear from you if you suspect another form of fraud against the City Council.
