RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY: - That the Members of the Fraud and Cyber Crime Reporting and Analysis Service Procurement Committee wish to place on record their heartfelt appreciation to Deputy Dawn Linsey Wright for her exemplary dedication and commitment as Chair of the Committee.

DAWN’S LEADERSHIP was in place from the Committee’s beginning in June 2022, when it was established as a stand-alone oversight committee to support the procurement of Report Fraud – the replacement national reporting system for cyber-crime and fraud. This brought together responsibilities from across the City Corporation into a single entity, significantly reducing the burden of governance on this critical national programme.

DAWN’S EXTENSIVE PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE from her senior roles in telecommunications and IT companies was regularly employed as she led Member scrutiny and decision-making. Her invaluable expertise, combined with her enthusiasm for the challenge, was notably brought to bear as she represented the City Corporation’s interests with the suppliers’ leadership at the very highest level.

WITH DAWN’S GUIDANCE, the Committee has successfully steered the oversight of the programme towards its long-awaited ‘Go Live’ on 4^th December 2025. This marks a significant achievement for all those involved in delivering this new system and marks a transformational shift for those reporting fraud and cyber-crime across the country, as they now benefit from a truly state-of-the-art, victim-focused service.

DAWN’S UNDERSTANDING of the City Corporation’s pride in hosting Report Fraud’s predecessor, Action Fraud, since 2014 has helped in delivering its successor on behalf of HM Government. Action Fraud will help ensure the City continues to play a critical role in the national fight against fraud and cyber-crime for many years to come.

AS ITS SOLE CHAIR, the Committee is grateful for Dawn’s commitment and
