Aims
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and Breast Flattening/Ironing are forms of child abuse and violence against women and girls, and therefore should be dealt with as part of existing child (and adult) protection structures, policies and procedures.
3.6. of the EYFS (2023) states that training made available by the provider must enable staff to identify signs of possible abuse and neglect at the earliest opportunity, and to respond in a timely and appropriate way. These may includeany reasons to suspect neglect or abuse outside the setting, for example in the child’s home or that a girl may have been subjected to (or is at risk of) female genital mutilation.
