LAUNCH OF THE FORCED MARRIAGE MULTI-AGENCY PRACTICE GUIDELINES 2nd JULY 2009
ACCM (UK) welcomes the launch of the Forced marriage Multi-agency practice guidelines to support the action towards tackling forced marriages and accompany the new Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Act 2007.
The new guidelines have been developed by the Forced Marriage Unit (a joint Foreign & Commonwealth Office and Home Office Unit) in collaboration with other Government departments; the Association of Chief Police Officers, Crown Prosecution Service and the Welsh Assembly Government. The Guidelines cover England and Wales.
The guidelines are designed to assist front-line practitioners; by providing knowledge and understanding of Forced Marriage and also offer practical directions to cross-sector practitioners. These guidelines are an essential tool in directing multi-agency working to ensure that all necessary policies and strategies are in place to ensure that victims and those at risk of Forced Marriage are protected from harm.
For further information contact us or Contact the FCO Forced Marriage Unit at www.fco.gov.uk/forcedmarriage for more copies or you can download a copy of the Guidelines here.
