Recognising & Preventing FGM — Free Introductory Awareness Course

Who is this course for?

Made for everyday community roles

You don’t need a formal safeguarding role to make a difference. This course is for anyone whose day-to-day work puts them in contact with the public, including:

• Taxi and private hire drivers
• Hairdressers and beauty therapists
• Supermarket, retail and hospitality staff
• Receptionists and administrative staff
• Library, job centre and leisure centre staff
• Support workers and care assistants
• Community volunteers — including faith, youth and sports groups

People in roles like these are often trusted by the communities they serve. That trust means you may be one of the first to notice a concern — and this course helps you know what to do
