    The course will explore the law in relation to forced marriage, practitioner responses and the "One Chance Rule".

    This course is suitable for any staff who would like to develop an awareness of the issues surrounding forced marriage. It is particularly suitable for practitioners who work with children, young people and adults at risk and is particularly suitable for new staff, students and as part of induction training.

    • to discuss the impact, consequences and barriers to reporting forced marriage
    • to understand the legal position in Scotland around forced marriage
    • to develop a range of practical responses which focus on victim safety
