Safeguarding Scenario: Female Genital Mutilation (Post-Incident)

Train staff on Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), including the statutory duty placed upon teachers to report suspected cases of FGM to the police. Included in this download is one fictional safeguarding scenario where a female pupil shows signs of being a victim of FGM which then results in a disclosure. This scenario is suitable for both primary and secondary settings.

Also included is a guided walkthrough for the DSL or safeguarding training lead which lets you check whether staff can spot the signs of FGM as well as ensuring staff know how to respond and report it, including the statutory duty placed upon them. It's ideal to use as a discussion point in a staff meeting or INSET. It can also be used in response to safeguarding trends or concerns in your setting to build staff understanding of keeping children safe.

Fully aligned to KCSIE 2024, this scenario is also available as part of the Safeguarding Training Pack - Summer Term.
