(BBC) The UK’s largest teachers’ union has warned government not to introduce measures that would make teaching staff criminally responsible for failing to report the forced marriage of a pupil.
A Home Office consultation is exploring such proposals for teachers, health workers and social workers.
But the National Education Union (NEU) said it “raises the stakes” without the required training for its members.
The consultation’s findings are to be published “in due course.”
‘Wrong approach’
The government is aiming to find new ways to increase reporting and clamp down on forced marriage.
