Home Office launches a refreshed Fraud Strategy for 2026–2029 aimed at disrupting fraud networks, strengthening law-enforcement capabilities and improving protection for victims

In a launch speech, Home Office minister Lord Hanson highlights the need for stronger collaboration between government, law enforcement, financial institutions and technology companies to tackle fraud, which represents a major share of crime affecting individuals and businesses in the UK. The strategy focuses on disrupting fraud before it reaches victims, including new capabilities such as an Online Crime Centre to coordinate intelligence and operational action against organised fraud networks.
