Government Counter Fraud Profession Centre of Learning - Strategy, Engagement and Membership Lead

The Government Counter Fraud Profession comprises more than 9,000 members drawn from around 85 public bodies working to fight fraud across the public sector. The GCFP brings together individual and organisational learning from across the public sector, enabling us to take our next steps in the fight against the constant threat of fraud.

The establishment of the GCFP and continued investment in counter fraud resources demonstrates the Government’s commitment to finding and dealing with fraud across the public sector.

The Profession sets out to tackle fraud head on by committing to invest in this group of highly skilled people, who are at the forefront of protecting public services and fighting economic crime. By providing the standards, guidance and tools for GCFP members to develop their knowledge, skills and experience, we will not only ensure public sector organisations benefit from a common understanding of the skills needed to counter fraud, but also recognise those professionals who lead the fight.

Through the empowerment of its members, throughout their careers, the community created around the GCFP will continue to grow and develop, to protect public services and fight economic crime.
