The British Embassy as part of the FCDO represents the British Government’s interests overseas and acts as a support platform for other Government Departments. Contractual life support services for British Overseas Offices are required for staff and foreign government personnel that utilise our premises, in order to allow the FCDO to fulfil its duty of care. The FCDO overseas estates consist of a Compound(s) comprising an amenities building that houses the office, canteen (and associated kitchen) and gym. Some FCDO estates have Residential accommodation villas on site, where Life Support staff can reside, however this is not available at all sites.
