Back on Track Policy 2023-24

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council is committed to the prevention and detection of fraud.

An offence may have been committed where false statements or false evidence is used to obtain financial awards from the Back on Track scheme.

Where fraud is suspected, the matter will be investigated appropriately and this may lead to criminal proceedings being instigated.

The Council has a duty to protect public funds and may use information given to prevent and detect fraud and may give some information to other organisations where the law allows.
