**Job summary**:
DWP is the lead agency for tackling Economic, Serious and Organised crime (ESOC) against the welfare system. ESOC are a national team with geographical representation throughout the UK. We are responsible for and are committed to detecting, preventing, disrupting and prosecuting organised criminals facilitating benefit offences and abuse. Serious offenders often receive substantial custodial sentences.
The role of ESOC is primarily to investigate fraud in the welfare system perpetuated by organised criminal groups. This mostly involves working across multi law enforcement agencies on high profile and serious fraud operations involving multi suspects in multi million pound criminality. ESOC is predominantly involved in:
Level 2 Criminality
Acts of criminality that transcend regional borders and require the assistance of specialist assets to combat these attacks, using assistance from external law enforcement partners through the provision of intelligence, and establishing joint operations to proactively target those persons or groups involved in such criminal activity; and
Level 3 Criminality
Investigations categorised as Level 3 relate to serious and organised crime by well organised and resourced criminals and crime groups that operate both on national and international scales. Combating these organisations requires the proactive collaboration of a diverse and specialised core of organisations within the UK law enforcement arena; that allows the pooling of sensitive intelligence and physical assets, both human and capital to combat such attacks.
We undertake:
- Intelligence-led investigations into organised and systematic attacks on the National Insurance Number Portal (NINo), DWP benefits, HMRC Tax Credits and Access to Work payments;High Value Fraud: multi-million pound fraud involving multiple suspects
- Our major focus is Identity Fraud, the use of false documentation and hijacked or stolen identities of genuine individuals;
- The Human Agenda - Trafficking / Modern Slavery are a significant feature of our work - benefits are claimed and controlled by organised criminals;
- Internal Investigations; and
- Extensive Collaborative Working
