Provide FGM training to border officials and foster inter-departmental engagement for effective case monitoring.
Recommendation
The Home Office should ensure that border officials have sufficient training on FGM to ensure they can identify potential cases and intervene when necessary. There should also be close engagement between departments, such as the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, Home Office, and the Department for Education, including social services, to ensure that suspected cases are monitored effectively.
