<p>Officials at the Department for Education reported the case to Action Fraud's national call centre on 25 April. An additional telephone call was made to West Yorkshire Police's Economic Crime Unit, who confirmed that this was the correct way to report fraud and that no further action was required.</p><p>Following the Department's referral to Action Fraud on 25 April, an update was requested on 5 September. Action Fraud subsequently notified the Department on 1 November that the information provided had been wrongly classified as an information report rather than a crime report. This error has been rectified by Action Fraud and West Yorkshire police have confirmed they are now investigating. Action Fraud has apologised to the Department for this error.</p><p>I issued a warning notice to the trust on 17 May. The warning notice is available on the Department's website at:</p><p>http://media.education.gov.uk/assets/files/pdf/k/kings%20science%20academy%20warning%20notice.pdf</p><p>The warning notice makes clear my requirements, and the possible repercussions.</p> |
