Harmful Practices Training (Honour Based Violence & Forced Marriage)

Why is the BHSCP providing this course?

This course will raise your awareness of Honour Based Abuse/Forced Marriage and the impact on victims/children. Topics covered will look into identification, assessment and reporting processes to support professionals in their safeguarding role.

This important multi-agency training is being presented by a very experienced external trainer, who has worked closely with local authorities and police forces to combat these behaviours and cam bring personal knowledge to these training sessions.

Learning Outcomes:

• Identify the context of Domestic Abuse & so called Honour Based Abuse
• Explain the definitions of Honour Based Abuse/Forced Marriage in relation to the Government and Policing Strategy
• Risk assess and analyse this risk to support victims
• State how practitioners can identify the risks in an agency setting and use this information to inform a safety plan

Although not essential, it may be helpful to have a basic understanding of these topics prior to attending:
