About course
Female Genital Mutilation is a harmful practice that continues to affect women and girls, often leading to long-term physical complications and emotional distress, while limited awareness can delay safeguarding responses. These gaps create serious protection challenges across communities and services. Our CPD-accredited FGM training provides a clear understanding of risks, recognition, and appropriate intervention pathways for professionals in sensitive care environments.
The female genital mutilation course is designed for nurses, midwives, social workers, safeguarding officers, educators, community workers, carers, and healthcare assistants. It supports those working closely with at-risk individuals or communities, helping them understand cultural sensitivities, recognise concerns early, and follow appropriate safeguarding responsibilities within professional environments across UK settings.
Furthermore, you’ll learn about definitions, historical context, cultural drivers, health consequences, mental wellbeing impacts, safeguarding responsibilities, and legal duties through female genital mutilation training. You will also develop the knowledge to recognise risks, respond appropriately, and support individuals effectively while maintaining sensitivity, professionalism, and safeguarding awareness across different care environments.
Additionally, this female genital mutilation (FGM) programme covers the foundations of FGM, cultural and social influences, types and health impacts, treatment, care and support, alongside UK law, policy, and mandatory duties regarding FGM.
