CLC Secure Badge for Websites

Increased online protection for CLC firms and their clients

All conveyancers are aware of the risks of fraud to their clients and their businesses. Firms can be impersonated online, in emails or on the telephone.

The Secure Badge aims to significantly reduce the risk of impersonation online through cloned or copied websites and will help identify fraudsters setting up fake firms that claim to be regulated by the CLC.

The Secure Badge provides consumers with confidence that the website they have found is for a firm that is regulated by the CLC.

How it works

The CLC provides each firm with a unique piece of code that will provide a CLC secure badge for the firm to display online. The CLC will then monitor use of that code to ensure there is no unauthorised use of the secure badge.

Consumers can click on the badge to see information about the regulated firm on the CLC’s website.

What firms need to do

All CLC firms with a website must display the Secure Badge in a prominent place on their website (Code of Conduct 1(p)).

We recommend showing the Secure Badge in a header or footer section of the website so that it appears on every page.
