Investigations under False or Misleading Information Regulations
Dear Gloucestershire Constabulary,
It is believed that the FOMI Regulations come under the Care Act and include offences that require investigation by police if concerns are raised.
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk...
1. For years 2018-2023, have any prosecutions been recommended by Glos Constabulary that relate to FOMI Regulations.
2. For years 2018-2023, have any investigations (regardless of recommendations resulting) been conducted by Glos Constabulary that relate to FOMI Regulations.
3. As FOMI Regulations are not commonly encountered, which role / who in Glos Constabulary would respond to concerns raised about FOMI (ie how would the public report and how would constabulary ensure appropriate resources investigated)
4. What policy , guidance , direction or other form of instruction is available to / provided held within Glos Constabulary on how to respond to concerns that may invoke the FOMI offences (ie it is not expected for complainants to know the details of the law - how do Glos Constabulary identify that an offence may have occurred from concerns raised)
(If concerns over costs result, please work back from 2023 to limit if funding)
Yours faithfully,
Darren Watts
