Forced Marriage

Requested Mon 13 September 2021
Responded Thu 23 September 2021

We are beginning to map the prevalence of honour-based-abuse and forced marriage in the UK over the last 3 years. Our aim is to identify patterns and trends in local responses to honour-based-abuse by comparing local authority data with the data Karma Nirvana's honour-based-abuse national helpline collates.

Does your organisation's Case Management and Recording system facilitate tagging case file's where:

a. Forced marriage has been identified? (Yes/No)

b. FGM has been identified? (Yes/No)
