She is a member of the Government’s National Security Council and chairs the National Strategic Tasking and Coordination Group, for a national response to priority threats, including child sexual abuse and exploitation, modern slavery and human trafficking, money laundering, cyber crime and the illicit supply of firearms to the UK.
Toni Sless, pictured, Chair of FWN says: “We are truly delighted to have Lynne as our Patron of FWN. FWN celebrates its 12th year in 2019 and continues to provide women in the anti-fraud and security arenas a way to network with other women in the industry, learn from industry experts at our events and also be offered mentoring opportunities. The patronage of Lynne helps us to continue to support all those working in the anti-fraud and security arenas from those just starting out, to those who are veterans in their fields.”
