“If we are to tackle honour-based abuse, it is important that practitioners understand the issue, know what to look out for and how to respond. I therefore welcome the launch of this online course.”
Commander Ivan Balhatchet,
National Police Chief’s Council Lead for HBA, FM & FGM
"Honour Based Abuse (HBA), constitutes an array of criminal offences including Forced Marriage, are serious violations of human rights, often affecting young, vulnerable girls and women. It is imperative that we have training and guidance to equip those who have contact with young people to better understand the concealed criminal behaviours and child abuse that is taking place.
It is only by identifying and understanding HBA will society be able to improve our outlook to appreciate the real difficulties victims find themselves in, alienated by those who are supposed to care for them. We all need to do so much more to properly safeguard the most vulnerable in our society, and I support this online course (that accompanies an existing course on FGM) to assist those in educational establishments tackle HBA."
