Use this short guide to craft a strong, memorable password and keep protection as robust as possible for you and our business. Cybercriminals may try to guess your passwords to get into your devices or important accounts, eg email or online banking. They might use the most common passwords (eg PASSWORD1) or draw on publicly available details about you or your organisation. Once they succeed with one password, they may try the same one on other services. As a result, the strongest passwords are hard to predict and not reused across different accounts. Create a strong password There are several ways to create a resilient password: Make it difficult to guess by avoiding common patterns and publicly known information. Never reuse the same password across multiple accounts. Have sufficient characters Choose a password that is long enough. Our minimum password length is [ insert number, eg 12 ]...

STOP PRESS: This page is being revised to reflect implementation of the Data ( Use and Access) Act 2025 ( DUAA 2025), which modifies the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1 Assemble an incident management team Demonstrate a truly proactive stance by involving the right people from the start. Taking action early signals that you are actively managing the situation. As the nominated officer holds ultimate responsibility for any external reports, ensure they are brought in at the earliest opportunity, if that has not already happened. Notify the nominated officer, if this has not yet been done. Assess whether any additional (and/or external) support is required to manage the incident; this may not be necessary. Designate someone to lead the team—the nominated officer (if you have one) is typically best placed to take this role. 2 Contain the report Once concerns have been raised, keep the information as confidential as possible to avoid unintentionally committing a tipping-off offence under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 ( POCA 2002) or the Terrorism Act 2000 ( TA...
What is money laundering? Money laundering is the method by which criminal proceeds, along with their genuine source and ownership, are altered so they seem lawful. Put simply, criminals seek to conceal where the money came from and who owns it. How does money get laundered? Ordinarily, laundering unfolds in three commonly recognised phases: placement, layering, and integration. Placement — introducing illicit assets into the financial system. This may involve splitting substantial cash holdings into modest sums, or utilising a broad range of financial instruments (for example, cheques or money orders) lodged at multiple separate venues. Layering — shifting funds already lodged within the financial system to conceal their unlawful origin. This is commonly done through numerous intricate transactions, often using complex offshore company structures and trusts. Integration — after the source of the funds is masked, the money must...

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
