Answered by Chris Elmore
All staff working in this area are equipped with the knowledge, skills and resources needed to support delivery of the Government's Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) strategy. The UK Special Envoy for FoRB also plays an active role in strengthening our capability, through his engagement with officials in the UK and overseas, helping to build understanding of the issues, and support implementation of the Government's approach.
