Forced Marriage Unit Training

The Forced Marriage Unit (FMU)  is a joint Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and Home Office unit which leads on the government’s forced marriage policy, outreach and casework. It operates both inside the UK (where support is provided to any individual) and overseas (where consular assistance is provided to British nationals, including dual nationals).

The FMU operates a public helpline to provide advice and support to victims and potential victims of forced marriage, and to professionals dealing with cases.

The FMU also undertakes an extensive training programme targeting professionals with safeguarding responsibilities and those who work with potential victims, and carries out a range of work to raise awareness. There are workshops available for social workers, registrars and police officers.

Keeping them safe: Protecting Children from Sexual Exploitation (free course)

This abuse can happen to any child, anywhere. Knowing what to look for is an important way you can help to protect children. Parents Against Child Sexual Exploitation (Pace) and Virtual College have teamed up to provide this short (20 to 30 minutes) online course designed for parents and carers, but helpful for practitioners also to give basic awareness. This free course is text and image based with no narration, a transcript of the course will be available to download once you have registered.

Female Genital Mutilation: Recognising and Preventing FGM (free course)

This is a free workshop developed by the Home Office and the Virtual College. Throughout this course, you will follow a young girl named Hope as she encounters the key issues relating to FGM and you will see how they affect her throughout her life. The training will help a range of professionals to identify and assist girls who are at risk of FGM. This course is useful for anyone who is interesting in gaining an overview of FGM, particularly frontline staff in healthcare, police and children’s social care.
