A Course on Female Genital Mutilation

FGM Course

This course gives people the information they require to identify the things which may make a girl vulnerable to Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). We also cover what FGM is and how to approach conversations around the topic with someone who may have experienced FGM as a child or a young adult.

There are many myths surrounding FGM, such as that it is not as common anymore in the UK. However, the huge demand for this course suggests that there are many people out there who wish to learn more about how they can help prevent FGM from happening or support those who may have been subjected to it. The NHS reported 690 new cases of FGM in the UK between January and March 2021, this startling figure shows the importance of education around the risk factors which may lead to women being subject to FGM.

Who should take this Female Genital Mutilation online training course?

This course has been designed specifically for people who want to know more about what Female Genital Mutilation is and what to do if it may have taken place. Whilst it provides a focus for people working in social care, it will also be useful to a wider audience of people who would like to know more about these topics.

We offer our courses for your LMS as SCORM files. Depending on the scope of what you need there may be a charge for this. Please connect to discuss it with us.
