  • FGM Risk and Safeguarding – Guidance for Professionals 2020: this guidance has been developed to provide information about the specific issues frequently encountered when dealing with FGM. In addition, it provides a framework which organisations may wish to adopt to support professionals in the ongoing consideration of risks pertaining to FGM. It encourages agencies to cooperate and work together to protect and support those at risk of, or who have undergone, FGM. This should be considered in conjunction with other relevant safeguarding guidance, including, but not limited to, Working Together to Safeguard Children. This document is not intended to replace wider safeguarding guidance, but to provide additional advice on FGM.
