The total number of FCDO UK Based staff at the Embassy and Consulates in China are:-
Year | Banded headcount |
2014 | 100-119 |
2015 | 100-119 |
2016 | 80-89 |
2017 | 80-89 |
2018 | 80-89 |
2019 | 80-89 |
2020 | 90-99 |
2021 | 70-79 |
2022 | 70-79 |
The figures also do not include FCDO Country-Based Staff in our overseas Missions, who are essential to the delivery of FCDO objectives.
Total headcount is FCDO UK Based staff within requested locations. Data from legacy departments has been aggregated for pre FCO/DFID merger years, as such it is not completely comparable.
