Forced marriage: New support material for schools
The Government is committed to work with schools, LAs and communities to do all it can to tackle the issue of forced marriage, which is a form of child abuse. New materials have been produced to raise awareness of forced marriage. They have been developed specifically for schools and young people and are now available on the Every Child Matters website.
Ministers will shortly be sending a package of printed copies of these materials to secondary schools. The materials have been developed in consultation with schools, young people, LAs and voluntary-sector organisations, and are designed to be eye-catching and appealing to young people. Ministers strongly encourage schools to use these materials in order to raise awareness of this important child-protection issue and of sources of support.
