Our most recent statistics show that in 2022, 51,299 individuals have accessed our free e-learning training on FGM.
Alongside the free e-learning for frontline staff, the Home Office has issued a diverse range of materials aimed at professionals to improve their understanding and response to FGM, which includes statutory multi-agency guidance. The training helps professionals to recognise the warning signs of forced marriage and ensure that the right action is taken to help protect those at risk.
