National Identity Fraud Prevention Week is a nationwide awareness campaign starting on October 12.

It's designed, say organisers, to help you protect yourself and your business from identity fraud, one of the UK's fastest growing crimes.

With the assistance of media coverage and campaigns like this, awareness of identity fraud has grown in the UK but people are still unaware or simply ignoring advice and vast numbers continue to fall victim.

A campaign website has been created to help you and your business understand how identity fraud occurs and how you can take steps to protect yourself. You can download a free guide to Protecting Your Identity or you can take our online Identity Fraud - Are You At Risk? test to assess how safe your identity really is:
