Why Is Fraud Awareness Training important?
Fraud can result in financial loss, damaged reputation, disrupted services and loss of trust. In healthcare and social care, fraudulent activity can also divert resources away from patient and service-user care.
Fraud awareness helps employees recognise warning signs and understand the importance of following organisational procedures when concerns arise. The course covers practical examples involving staff, patients, suppliers, systems and third parties, helping learners connect counter-fraud principles to workplace situations.
For NHS organisations and providers of NHS-funded services, counter-fraud arrangements are particularly important. NHS requirements include measures to prevent, detect and investigate fraud, bribery and corruption.
The training therefore supports professional standards, internal controls, responsible reporting and a workplace culture where suspected fraud is taken seriously.

Is Fraud Awareness Training a legal requirement in the UK?
There is no general UK law requiring every employee to complete a specific “Fraud Awareness Training Course”. However, organisations have legal, regulatory and governance responsibilities to manage fraud and related risks.
The Fraud Act 2006 establishes offences including fraud by false representation, failure to disclose information and abuse of position. The Bribery Act 2010 also creates offences relating to bribery and includes a corporate offence concerning failure to prevent bribery.
Since 1 September 2025, the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 has also introduced a corporate offence of failure to prevent fraud for organisations within scope. Government guidance identifies training and communication as part of reasonable fraud prevention procedures.
For employers, appropriate training can therefore form part of a proportionate fraud prevention framework, even where a particular course is not legally mandatory.

Fraud Awareness training FAQ?
What is Fraud Awareness Training?
Fraud Awareness Training teaches employees how to recognise fraud, understand common fraud risks and respond appropriately when suspected fraudulent activity is identified. The Caredemy Fraud Awareness Training Course covers fraud types, NHS-related fraud examples, cyber fraud, reporting fraud, social media and the role of the Local Counter Fraud Specialist.
Who needs Fraud Awareness Training?
Fraud awareness training is suitable for employees across healthcare, social care, public and private sector organisations. It can be particularly useful for staff involved in finance, procurement, administration, management, compliance, risk management, supplier relationships or handling organisational information and resources.
Is Fraud Awareness Training a legal requirement in the UK?
There is no general legal requirement for every UK employee to complete a specific fraud awareness course. However, organisations should take proportionate steps to prevent and detect fraud. For large organisations within scope of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, training and communication form part of the government’s recommended fraud prevention principles.
How often should Fraud Awareness Training be completed?
There is no single UK-wide statutory interval requiring all employees to complete fraud awareness training. Employers should determine frequency according to their fraud risk, organisational policies, role requirements and regulatory expectations. Refresher training can help maintain awareness when risks, systems, procedures or fraud methods change.
What types of fraud does the course cover?
The course covers financial and organisational fraud concepts and includes NHS staff fraud, patient fraud, supplier fraud, systems fraud and third-party fraud. It also covers cyber fraud, areas of fraud, reporting fraud and social media, with case studies used to illustrate relevant risks.
What should I do if I suspect fraud at work?
Follow your organisation’s approved reporting procedure and raise the concern through the appropriate internal or designated counter-fraud route. Do not attempt to conduct your own investigation or confront the person involved unless your role and organisational procedures specifically require this. NHS organisations have established arrangements for reporting suspected fraud and related concerns.
How long does the Fraud Awareness Training Course take?
The Caredemy Fraud Awareness Training Course takes approximately one hour to complete. It is delivered online, allowing learners to study at a convenient time. The course includes an online multiple-choice assessment, and successful completion leads to an instant digital CPD-accredited certificate.
Does the Fraud Awareness Training Course include NHS fraud examples?
Yes. The course includes NHS staff fraud, NHS patient fraud, NHS supplier fraud and NHS systems fraud, together with case studies for these areas. It also covers third-party fraud, cyber fraud, reporting fraud and social media, making the training particularly relevant to NHS and healthcare workplace environments.
