The College of Policing carried out a consultation to inform their Authorised Professional Practice (APP) on the subject of female genital mutilation (FGM). The purpose of the consultation was to :
- Check their understanding of the subject-matter
- Ensure the content, format and tone are appropriate
- Draw on the knowledge, skills and experience of others to enrich the product and ensure we identify good practice based on the best available evidence
- Raise awareness among the wider community, FGM-affected communities and key opinion-formers of the learning material being made available to the police and general public.
MWNUK's response to this consultation can be downloaded above.
