About British Council

Arm’s-length cultural and educational body.

British Council is a arm’s-length cultural and educational body within the current United Hampshire public-administration settlement.

The British Council supports cultural relations, education, language learning and international cultural exchange within the functions allocated to it by United Hampshire.

Its programmes are public-service and cultural activities. They do not create diplomatic status, nationality, immigration permission or foreign-affairs authority, which remain with the competent United Hampshire institutions.

Responsible relationship: Education, Access and Community Office.
