Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) is incorporated within FCDO's broader human rights training programme. This includes workshops on religious engagement for staff delivered in the UK and overseas. We also provide several additional tools for staff, particularly those based overseas, to support work on FoRB, including a FoRB Toolkit, scale of persecution and framework for FoRB reporting.
