Cultural consultancy
Forced marriage
Our Cultural Consultant was familiar with similar languages to those spoken by the family, and with the family’s cultural background. She worked with family members and the Social Worker focussing on understandings of the mother’s own history, and the improvement of the relationship between Children’s Services and the family.
Several misunderstandings and misconceptions on both sides were addressed and eliminated. She also assisted the mother with getting involved with the community and reducing social isolation.
