Course content
| Module | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | In this introduction learners will discover the term ‘violence against women.’ This is a category of violence that describes a series of acts that happen to women simply because they are women. In this module, you’ll also be introduced to the United Nations’ ‘Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women.’ |
| 2 | Forced Marriage | In this second module, you’ll discover the UK legislation in place to protect potential victims of forced marriage. You’ll find out who is at risk and how you can take action to help victims get a Forced Marriage Protection Order. You’ll also, critically, find out the actions that you should never take that could put the victim in more danger. |
| 3 | Honour-Based Violence | In this third module, learners will be introduced to honour-based violence. Learners will discover how the idea of “honour” means something different in every community, meaning that the risk factors and triggers for honour-based violence change. Learners will discover how honour-based violence occurs and the many forms that it can appear in as well as what action to take to help a victim of abuse. |
| 4 | Female Genital Mutilation | In this final module, learners will discover the cultural claims that practitioners of FGM make. They will also learn the facts behind FGM that dispel these claims and will learn how to help victims of FGM and potential victims. You’ll find out where FGM happens the most, why it happens, and you’ll also discover the story of Alimatu. There is also a section on books that you can read to help you understand the cultural pressure of FGM. |

Who should take this course?
This course has been designed for front line workers and anyone else who is interested in gaining a clear and concise understanding of what these types of abuse are, why they happen and who is at risk. The course also teaches learners how they can help victims and what their legal safeguarding duties are.
Since 31st October 2015, if you're a regulated teacher, healthcare professional, or a social worker then you are known as a 'front line worker' and it is your legal duty to report known cases of FGM in under 18s to the police. This course will help front line workers to understand their responsibilities.
