Explained in plain English

Who helps British citizens abroad?

When British citizens face difficulties or emergencies overseas, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) can provide consular assistance. This might include helping with emergency travel documents, contacting family, or offering advice and support, though they cannot intervene in local legal processes or pay for expenses.
