Awards

The iNetwork Innovation Awards 2020 were postponed until early this year and they were worth waiting for!  We were finalists in not one, not two but three categories; Effective Information Sharing and Security, iStandUK and COVID-19 Response Recognition.  We are ecstatic to be recognised in all of these categories and even more so to be judged winners for the second year in a row of the Effective Information Sharing and Security Award 2020.  All award nominees, finalists and winners have done some amazing work throughout 2020 and we couldn’t be more proud to be in there company.  You can view the awards ceremony here.

 

2020 was a truly challenging year for all; however it was also a year of relationship building, collaboration and joint working across local and central government, public and private/financial sectors.  We were delighted to be nominated for an aware by the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy in the Partnership Excellence Category of the Public Sector Counter Fraud Awards 2021.  They recognised the COVID-19 Business Grant Alert and the fast effective distribution of intelligence which supported local authorities to prevent significant losses in public funds.  We are proud be a part of this partnership, which would not have been possible without our members.

 

NAFN is a proud finalist of the Tackling Economic Crime Awards 2020 in the Outstanding Prevention Initiative.  Our COVID-19 Business Grant Fraud Alert which has supported so many of our members to tackle fraudsters attempts to acquire public funds.  This alert is a product of collaboration and timely sharing of intelligence in the national interest.

We nominated our National Right-to-Buy Anti-Fraud Service as a project which facilitates the secure storage, sharing and use of sensitive information to deliver more efficient and effective services for members, whilst ensuring that personal information is protected.
