Disabled Access

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office are keen to ensure that their buildings and services are fully accessible to disabled members of the public. Wherever possible, we have made our buildings and services accessible.

Access to the British High Commission building may sometimes be constrained by security considerations and the current layout of access routes and facilities. However security staff can provide appropriate assistance to disabled visitors to ensure access to services.

Please let us know if you have any special requirements by contacting our reception at the British High Commission on +256 312 312 000.
