About this course

What the Forced Marriage Awareness course covers

Forced Marriage Awareness is taught entirely online, so there is nothing to attend and no start date to wait for. The material comes as 6 modules and takes about 1 to 2 hours end to end. The pace is entirely yours: sit it in an afternoon or spread it over a month.

Expect to cover Defining forced marriage, Signs of forced marriage, Protection strategies and Communicating with agencies. 2 more modules follow those, all named on the Modules tab.

It starts from the beginning, so no previous safeguarding & care training is assumed. We list 20 Safeguarding & Care courses, of which 3 sit at Beginner. At this length it is one of the quicker ones in the subject. The course is CPD accredited, so the time counts towards a CPD record, and your certificate is available to download as soon as you finish.

What this course is not: It is an introduction, so it is the wrong buy if you want depth on one narrow part of the subject.
