Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to engage with families bereaved abroad to inform the updated Consular and Crisis Strategy.

Our services, processes and strategies are under constant review to ensure we are providing the best support possible to British nationals and to meet the challenges facing British nationals overseas today and in the future. We will consider carefully what support we provide to bereaved families, drawing on lessons learnt from recent and current cases and our customer insight and feedback work.

We publish detailed country-specific bereavement information that covers registering a death, the process of post-mortems and navigating local procedures. Consular staff work with local authorities to help families navigate those processes.
