For security reasons, the FCDO provides headcount detail in bands. The FCDO was formed on 2nd September 20, with Legacy Departments continuing to use legacy systems for recording staff locations in the interim. People in former DFID roles are recorded at Country level with no ability to report at Post level currently available. Therefore the data provided is at Country level only.

As at 31st October 2020, the UK based headcount band for each Country in Europe is set out in the table below.

Data does not include Posts where there is no UKB presence, or Posts in Eastern Europe.
