The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) pursues our national interests and projects the UK as a force for good in the world. We promote the interests of British citizens and provide consular services overseas, safeguard the UK’s security, defend our values and tackle global challenges with our international partners. To do this effectively we must collect, store, share and use personal information.

The Internal Audit and Investigations Directorate’s Investigations Department is part of the FCDO. It is the central point for raising concerns, suspicions and/or allegations of fraud, sexual exploitation and abuse or other corrupt practices. This includes internal and external cases where FCDO funds, assets or interests (including FCDO’s reputation) are involved, as well as any breach of the Civil Service Code.
