Cultural consultancy
Forced marriage
Our Cultural Consultant did not speak the specific language of the family but was familiar with similar languages 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 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.
