The A4 size reference Guide sets the service that British Embassies can offer in a range of different situations – whether visiting people who are in hospital or prison, working to rescue victims of forced marriage abroad, or simply issuing emergency passports to people whose documents have been lost or stolen. It makes clear, for example, that people cannot expect public funds to be used to cover medical costs incurred abroad or to help find property overseas, and that the FCO cannot get people out of jail. The Guide contains a wealth of tips on how to stay safe overseas, and how travellers can protect themselves if things go wrong. As well as the English versions, the guide is also available in Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Gujerati, Punjabi and Urdu.
