Not correct. As I said a position was advertused last year. Among the responsibilities were speaking with family members in situations like this, dealing with British in the country who have had bad experiences, etc.

That is just your standard consular position I would think Violet not a social worker, every embassy has them. In a normal country part of that remit would help assist putting people in touch with social services, appropriate mental health services etc....but well we are where we are and as discussed hundreds of time there is very limited (i.e.none) mental health services available here for anyone never mind foreigners.

Agreed. It definitely wasn't a social welfare or counsellor role.
