Having seen the documentary “Corruption: Harmful Organism”, the students’ questions focused on the origin and causes of corruption, its effect and costs, the perception of corruption in our society and with respect to other neighboring countries , what to do in cases of corruption. In the same debate, he took the opportunity to talk about public ethics and integrity, as well as prevention and civic education.

UNISOCIETAT Cullera knows the importance of the European Social Charter

The Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency, in collaboration with the Vice-Rector’s Office for Territorial Action and Society of the University of Valencia, carries out training activities in the prevention of fraud and corruption in public life throughout the Valencian territory.

On October 26, Carmen Salcedo Beltrán, Professor of Labor Law at the University of Valencia, addressed the importance of the European Social Charter as an instrument to carry out a fair recovery and with public integrity.

At the conference entitled “Social Rights and COVID19”, the value of the ratification by Spain of the revised version of the European Social Charter together with the Collective Claims Protocol, a ratification that had been claimed for more than two years, was underlined decades.

The European Social Charter is the European Treaty par excellence of social rights and the most expeditious guarantee system of all those existing in the framework of social rights in all spheres and levels of government. The exhibition was actively followed by 25 people, who asked multiple questions at the end of the conference.

AVAF’s participation in the Unisocietat conference is based on the collaboration agreement between the Agency and the University of Valencia with the aim of raising social awareness on collective ethics and the prevention of fraud and corruption.

The new Blog of the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency

Today we inaugurate a new communication space that aims to bring the work that we carry out from the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency closer to the public while at the same time wanting to contribute to the fight against fraud and corruption from the creation of a public ethics and integrity. In a changing environment like the one we have had to live in, it is necessary to find new spaces to relate to the citizens for whom we work and to be able to communicate with them. If the COVID-19 crisis has taught us anything, it is that in addition to physical spaces we need virtual spaces so that communication can be really effective. The central nucleus of the communicative action of the AVAF is its website, which we have recently updated, and where you can find all the information and activity carried out by the Agency in its different areas of research, legal, documentation, prevention and training.

But having a web page is not a guarantee that this information reaches the public, so we have been deploying a set of channels and formats that adapt to different audiences, and also to their peculiar ways of accessing and consuming information.

In this way we have profiles on social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram. The audiovisual content that we are generating is available on the YouTube channel while Twitch we use it for the retransmissions that we carry out in streaming.

From the Telegram channel we send information for those who do not use social networks, but want to be up to date with everything related to the fight against fraud and corruption.

We have recently opened channels on Ivoox and Spotify where we publish the audiovisual content generated in podcast format, one of the formats that has been experiencing the greatest growth in recent years.

And from the constant concern to get closer to the public today we welcome “The blog of the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency”, a space from which we want to offer information, knowledge and the experience of our work in the day a day that have no place in other spaces.

Public administrations are used to moving in an environment that is sometimes too formal and bureaucratized, as required by regulations and administrative procedure, but which distances us from the majority of the population, so it is necessary to adopt a style and simple and close language and this blog offers us that possibility.

This is ultimately the main objective of this blog: to bring the work that is done in the Agency hand in hand with the people who work in it. And it is that since its creation almost 5 years ago, the Agency staff has been acquiring knowledge and expertise that we believe we have to share with society as a whole.

We also want this blog to be a space for debate and reflection on all those themes and central issues of the Agency’s action, such as the fight against fraud and corruption, transparency, conflict of interest or creation of a public ethics and integrity among many others.

And to contribute to this debate and reflection, we will invite experts in these areas and fields to write in this blog, and in this way they can contribute their knowledge, experience and particular point of view.

We started this new blog with the hope and motivation of being able to be of help to that citizenry for which we work every day.

Finally, do not forget to subscribe to the blog and the newsletter so that you can receive each new publication.
