The Home Office has reported that the Security Minister, Tom Tugendhat, has chaired a session of the Joint Fraud Taskforce, a partnership between the government, law enforcement and the private sector. 

Lexis®Library update: In the session, Tugendhat welcomed a new victim checklist created by the banking industry, which is intended to help ensure consistent support is given to victims of fraud by providing guidance on how to report a crime, how victims can get their money back and where to access additional support. It is also hoped that the checklist will create a new benchmark for other industries to follow.
