<p>Consular support is tailored to the individual circumstances of each case, and
prioritises those that need help the most. A key aspect of our support is prevention
to help British people keep safe overseas, including representations to authorities
overseas to make local environments safer for British people. Where this is not possible
we may advise against travel. The Foreign Secretary announced today that we advise
against all but essential travel for the next 30 days due to the current outbreak
of Covid19, which has affected our ability to provide consular support.</p><p>We have
specialist teams working on forced marriage, murder, kidnap and cases involving those
on death row or at risk of the death penalty. Additionally we work with, and fund,
other organisations where these are better placed to provide support, or have specialist
skills that we need including the Victim Support Homicide Service, Lucie Blackman
Trust, and (for detainees) Prisoners Abroad.</p>
