"" ""On receiving your information we will email you to confirm receipt."" ""
Your information will be assessed by an NCA investigator and will be stored in our secure databases. Access to these databases is restricted to suitably vetted NCA staff. All information provided to us is treated as confidential.
If you have provided contact details we may contact you to obtain further details of your report by phone, email or in person.Once we have assessed your information we may initiate a criminal investigation if it meets our criteria.
"" ""You may be contacted and requested to provide information as a witness, however we will not be able to confirm whether a criminal investigation is opened."" ""
Investigations are lengthy processes and it may be a little while before we respond. While we will make every effort to keep you informed, we do not routinely confirm or deny whether an investigation is taking place, so it may not be possible for us to let you know what we do with any referral you have made.
