Recommendation
The UK Government must submit an annual report to Parliament on its actions to prevent atrocities. That report should be produced by the new Office for Conflict, Stabilisation and Mediation (see paras 24, 51), with input from other teams in the FCDO and other relevant departments. (Paragraph 49) From Srebrenica to a safer tomorrow: Preventing future mass atrocities around the world 43
Government Response Summary
The government plans to carry out a learning needs analysis to understand how the existing training offer could be expanded and targeted to increase impact and ensure staff are upskilled on atrocity prevention work; learning needs assessment will consider how to take forward training with HoMs and wider groups of staff overseas to achieve maximum learning impact.

28. The Government agrees with the importance of strong atrocity prevention knowledge and capacity across the organisation. We plan to carry out a learning needs analysis to understand how the existing training offer could be expanded and targeted to increase impact and ensure staff in certain Posts are confident and upskilled on atrocity prevention work. We will also harness existing expertise and capabilities. 29. Recognising atrocity prevention training will be more relevant for some Heads of Mission (HoMs) than others, the learning needs assessment will consider how to take forward training with HoMs and wider groups of staff overseas to achieve maximum learning impact. 30. FCDO staff are already partaking in and benefitting from atrocity prevention training delivered online and in-person by the US State Department, which complements our in- house offer.
