FGM is a form of child abuse that can lead to extreme and lifelong physical and psychological suffering to women and girls. In England and Wales an estimated 170,000 women are living with the consequences of FGM.
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is recognised in Keeping children safe in education (KCSIE) as a key safeguarding thematic topic, therefore it is essential all staff understand this subject and how to fulfil the mandatory reporting duty.
This course enables staff in schools and academies to gain an understanding of the different types of FGM, risk factors and protective measures to keep girls safe.
