Resources For Safeguarding Professionals

Useful resources to help safeguarding professionals handle HBA cases

Honour-Based Abuse (HBA) is a serious form of abuse that requires a sensitive and informed response. This resource hub is designed to support safeguarding professionals – including social workers, educators, healthcare providers, law enforcement, and frontline workers – who are working with individuals at risk of HBA, forced marriage, and related forms of harm.

You can find all our resources below, and you can also read our guide for safeguarding professionals here. You can also find Karma Nirvana publications, including our helpline data in our data section.
