Tackling Honour Based Violence, Forced Marriage and FGM Conference
Events - PublicStarting 16 Jul 2014 - 10:20 through to 16 Jul 2014 - 17:01
Our Tackling Honour Based Violence, Forced Marriage and Female Genital Mutilation Conference comes as forced marriage is criminalised in the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act and the government publishes its renewed action plan in A Call to End Violence against Women and Girls.
With current legislation under the spotlight, and with a focus on showcasing best practice, essential topics covered on the day include:
• Implementing the forced marriage legislation and assessing the impact on Forced Marriage Protection Orders (FMPOs)
• Removing the barriers that inhibit multi-agency working to enable early intervention and effective response strategies
• Developing secure support structures and future pathways for victims, vulnerable children and adults
Join experienced professionals from key agencies to benchmark your organisation against collective best practice and ensure that you are enabled to deliver effective, holistic services that safeguard vulnerable individuals.
Speakers include:
- Keynote: Norman Baker MP, Minister of State for Crime Prevention, Home Office
- Keynote: Mak Chishty, Commander for North London, Metropolitan Police and Honour Based Violence Lead, Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO)
- Chaz Akoshile, Joint Head, Forced Marriage Unit
