Organisation and change

Corporate governance

This year, the FCO continued to strengthen its corporate governance structures, in line with the Treasury’s Code of Good Practice for  Corporate Governance in Central Government Departments.

Communication and public diplomacy

Effective communication with the public, both in Britain and overseas, is key to delivering the FCO strategy.

Change in the FCO

The FCO’s role is to pursue the UK Government’s international agenda and deliver services to British citizens. The point of the FCO’s change programme is to make the organisation better at doing this in the 21st century.
