Forced marriage and honour-based abuse are serious forms of abuse that can devastate the lives of the people they affect — they are not private family matters, and forcing someone to marry is a criminal offence in the United Kingdom. Frontline workers such as teachers, health professionals, social care staff, youth workers and police are often the only people outside the family that a person at risk comes into contact with, placing them in a uniquely important position to notice that something is wrong and help open the door to safety.
This awareness-level course explains what forced marriage and honour-based abuse are, how they differ from arranged marriage, what UK law says under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, and who can be affected. It covers the warning signs and vulnerability factors to look for — without stereotyping any community — and teaches how to respond safely using the one-chance rule, including seeing a person alone and never involving the family, before reporting to a designated safeguarding lead, the police and the Forced Marriage Unit.
