<p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) reissued the freedom of religion or belief
(FoRB) toolkit to all Embassies and High Commissions on 10 October 2017. The aim of
the toolkit is to provide British diplomats with guidance on the human right to FoRB.
The toolkit sets out what FoRB means, how it is commonly denied, and how the right
to FoRB can be defended and promoted. The toolkit is therefore designed as a self-standing
resource for use by British diplomats in any post.</p><p>To complement the educational
value of the toolkit itself, the FCO runs a variety of learning and development activities
to help our staff to develop their religious literacy and their understanding of the
way in which religion affects public policy across the world. Furthermore, officials
from the FCO's Human Rights Policy Unit maintain very regular contact with a network
of colleagues working on FoRB issues in many posts, offering guidance and support
as required.</p>
