"I would handle those situations no differently than any other. Whether you assemble the team yourself or not, you are part of that team. Work well with everyone on your team, or fail at being a contributing member of the team. Choose the latter, and that's on you. I think of myself as a winning contributor and hope everyone else has a similar mindset."

Your interviewer is interested in learning your level of cultural competence and how it may affect your performance as a Border Force Officer. They emphasise the importance of delivering a positive customer experience and advertise they recruit on merit after a fair and open selection process. Consider your experience in this regard. Mention any sensitivity training you may have received along the way as well.
