Freedom Charity provides specialist safeguarding training and resources for professionals working with children, young people and adults at risk. Our work covers forced marriage, female genital mutilation (FGM), Dishonour Abuse and related forms of coercion and control, with a focus on recognising risk, responding safely and understanding professional responsibilities.
Professionals
Need specialist safeguarding training for your team? Freedom Charity delivers tailored sessions for professionals working in education, local authorities, health and social care, policing and justice, charities, public bodies and other frontline services.
Training can cover forced marriage, FGM, honour-based abuse and Freedom Charity’s preferred term Dishonour Abuse, virginity testing and hymenoplasty, warning signs, barriers to disclosure, safe enquiry, information sharing, referral routes, overseas risk and professional actions that may increase danger.
For dates, costs or a tailored proposal: request a quote or training proposal or email Freedom Charity.
Training complements, and does not replace, statutory duties, local safeguarding procedures or current government guidance.
Education and safeguarding leads
Recognising risk, responding safely to disclosures, school and overseas-travel concerns, curriculum context and referral routes.
Health and social care
FGM, forced marriage and honour-based abuse safeguarding, mandatory reporting where applicable, safe enquiry and escalation. Training supports recognition and response; it does not teach diagnosis.
Police, justice and legal teams
Risk patterns, multiple-perpetrator dynamics, forced-marriage and FGM protection routes, evidence-aware safeguarding and victim-centred response.
Local authorities and children’s services
Warning signs, referral pathways, strategy discussions, information sharing and safer multi-agency planning.
Government, policy and international teams
Briefings, practitioner insight and training for public bodies, delegations and organisations working on safeguarding and harmful practices.
Charities, employers and community organisations
Tailored awareness and safeguarding sessions to help staff recognise concerns, respond safely and know where to refer.
