A copy of the Concordat is available by selecting the appropriate link below. On occasions we have to deal with matters that may constitute a criminal offence, for which a range of actions may be taken against an individual, partnership or company. These matters will be investigated thoroughly to establish all the facts and where appropriate Officers will use their legal powers to enter premises, take samples, inspect and copy records, or seize goods and documents. On all occasions we will comply with the Human Rights Act and the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act. At the end of our investigation a decision will be made whether to deal with the matter informally, or whether to follow a more formal course of action that may ultimately lead to prosecution. How we reach that decision is explained in our Enforcement Policy for Regulatory Services. To view our Enforcement Policy please select the appropriate link below.

Although there are some generic forms of scam, new variations appear regularly to evade enforcement or exploit new opportunities. The best defence to scams is a high level of awareness and a healthy scepticism of all offers that appear to be to good to be true.
