Diplomatic Service Families Association
Diplomatic service life and travel can throw up special challenges for our spouses, partners and families. The Diplomatic Service Families Association is designed to help.
The Association was specifically created to provide advice and support to all spouses, registered partners and families of Diplomatic Service (DS) Officers. The DSFA also assists single parent DS officers, and one or other spouse or partner of a dual DS Office career couple with dependent children.
From advice on education, employment and health matters to knowing where to find the right information, the DSFA can assist. A team of advisers are on hand who handle a wide range of subjects wherever our members are in the world.
Members can contact DSFA for:
- employment and training advice, free employment seminars and funding for career training
- advice on organising your children's education, including those with special needs
- advice where a family member has a disability
- advice on issues affecting foreign-born spouses/partners
- advice and support on a range of welfare matters
- information on living conditions, employment prospects and education choices for all FCO's Posts worldwide through our useful print and online resource material.
