The Ideal Culture Standard (TICS) is a platform raising awareness about “cultural” issues causing significant harm to individuals from Black and Minority Ethnic communities. TICS is addressing topics such as forced marriages, radicalisation, bleaching, domestic violence, mental health, female genital mutilation, absent fathers, disability within the BME community and many more.

Such issues are being addressed through short concise evidence based articles (with advice), personal and professional interviews, social media, online interaction with the public with a long term goal of providing free training in our local communities.

The purpose of the platform is to educate and encourage the BME community to talk about some of these topics which in turn should raise awareness amongst the public as well as amongst professionals working with families from ethnic backgrounds.
