Investigating reports of honour based violence require specialist skills and investigators must be familiar with the actions required to investigate such incidents in order to safeguard victims and associated individuals. <\/div>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<div>\u201cHowever the identification of the warning signs which indicate that someone may be the victim of honour based violence is something which we all can learn in order to become confident to support victims at an extremely difficult time.<\/div>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<div>\u201cThis conference addressed these issues from a community, local and national perspective and culminates in a real-life case study highlighting the practical challenges in a successful honour based violence investigation.\u201d<\/div>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<div>The event boasted a distinguished group of subject matter experts who explored the many aspects surrounding honour based violence.
