Embassies across the District court curious visitors th..

But a continuing lack of clarity over the FCO’s purpose and role ingovernment, including confusion over the meaning of Global Britain, threatens to have detrimental effects on the skills of its staff, and puts at risk the prestige of the FCO as an employer. We again call on the Government properly to define Global Britain and the FCO’s role in delivering it. The FCO also lacks systematic data on the existing skills of its staff and the extent to which they are meeting skills-development targets, and continues to face issues with ‘churn’, meaning expertise is lost when staff move roles. ..
