Tailored Review of The British Council (pdf, 92 pages)

"This report makes recommendations on the British Council's capacity to fulfil its mission more effectively and efficiently. The 2019 Tailored Review of the British Council involved consultation with a broad range of stakeholders across the UK and beyond, as part of the government’s public bodies reform programme. Tailored reviews require all eligible bodies to undergo a review of their functions, form, performance and governance at least once during each Parliament. This review makes 29 recommendations in these areas.

Founded in 1934, the British Council is a UK charity governed by Royal Charter and a UK public body. The organisation creates friendly knowledge and understanding between the people of the UK and other countries, changing lives by creating opportunities, building connections and engendering trust".
