About this course

What the FGM Awareness course covers

FGM Awareness runs online from start to finish, so you decide when you study and how much you cover at a time. Budget roughly 1 to 2 hours for the 5 modules, less if the subject is already familiar. There is no clock on it, so a week off in the middle changes nothing.

Expect to cover Defining FGM, Signs of FGM and 4 R's of child protection. Another 2 modules follow, and the Modules tab lists every one of them.

This is a first course in safeguarding & care rather than a refresher for people already trained. We list 20 Safeguarding & Care courses, of which 3 sit at Beginner. At this length it is one of the quicker ones in the subject. CPD accreditation is included, so the training evidences itself for an appraisal or an inspection.

The honest caveats: If you already work in safeguarding & care day to day, expect the early material to feel familiar.

Full course details from the training provider

This FGM training course will provide your staff with the necessary knowledge about Female Genital Mutilation and how to recognise the signs as part of your safeguarding duty. Designed for those working with children, young people and adults in safeguarding, and various volunteer roles.

On this online FGM training course, learners will be taught how to recognise the signs of FGM, understand what FGM is, how it can affect the victim, and understand the 4 R’s of child protection. It will help and enable your staff to apply the techniques and knowledge they’ve learnt into their workplace. Along with what to do if you suspect a child is being subjected to FGM.

A recent study revealed that 137,000 women in England and Wales are estimated to be living with the consequences of FGM. The consequences can be horrifying and being aware of this will aid you in caring for those who have had this act inflicted upon them. Your awareness could change the lives of women for the better.
