FGM in Education

This FGM Training Course is tailored for individuals working in educational settings who wish to understand female genital mutilation (FGM). In England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, social workers, teachers, and regulated health professionals have a legal obligation to report any known cases of FGM involving females under the age of 18 to the police. As the incidence of FGM rises in the UK, there is a growing need for comprehensive training to help schools and educational institutions protect girls from this practice. The course covers the definition of female genital mutilation, the four types of FGM, the reasons behind the practice, key statistics, its impact on victims, how to recognize signs and identify at-risk individuals, practical safeguarding measures, and how to confidently refer victims to appropriate services.
