Safeguarding work related to FGM began in 2011 when the school realised that they had missed an opportunity to protect a child from FGM. Staff in the school were concerned that many other girls in the school may be vulnerable to FGM and thattheir own knowledge and understanding about FGM was limited. This compelled staff to gain more knowledge urgently, with the aim to raise awareness within the school and local community and safeguard their pupils more effectively.
