Forced Marriage and Honour Based Abuse

Please see below a message sent by Caroline Murray, SMBC Domestic Abuse Co-ordinator, Public Health Leadership Division

All professionals working with children and young people, including schools and education professionals, have a legal obligation (section 175 of the Education Act 2002; section 47 of the Children Act 1989) to safeguard children, promote their welfare and protect them from harm. Part of this responsibility includes taking action to enable all children to have the best possible outcomes.The NASUWT have released guidance for schools (see link below). In addition, Solihull council’s  website offers further government guidance, information and useful links in regards to Forced Marriage and Honour Based Abuse, in addition to a link to free training which includes resources to use within your organisation.
