This research, the most extensive of its type ever carried out in the UK, suggests that corruption is a greater problem in the UK than is currently recognised. The research represents a ‘corruption health-check’ for the UK, in which the diagnosis is ‘growing threat, inadequate response’.

This overview report outlines particular concerns about corruption in many of our key national institutions, including: prisons, political parties, parliament and sport. It highlights 6 key themes and makes 14 general recommendations, in addition to sector-specific recommendations and recommendations for future research.
