Recommendation 28
28
Border monitoring for FGM prevention requires improved training, follow-up, and inter-agency communication.
Conclusion
Border monitoring is an effective mechanism for preventing FGM being carried out on UK citizens and residents taken abroad. However, evidence suggests that monitoring could be made better through improved training of border officials, better follow-up of suspected cases, and enhanced communication between different agencies. (Conclusion, Paragraph 83)
