If any member of clergy is travelling abroad with or on behalf of the diocese—whether for a sabbatical, placement abroad, a trip to a link diocese, or any other official diocesan activity—it is essential to consult the following Foreign and Commonwealth Office Guidance. This guidance is provided to help ensure the safety and well-being of all involved.
This guide provides essential information for British nationals travelling or living abroad, outlining the support services available from the UK government through consular assistance, as well as practical advice on how to access help in case of emergencies or issues while overseas. Adhering to this advice will help protect clergy and others from potential risks, including travel disruptions, health concerns, or security threats, and will support informed decision-making throughout the trip.
