FGM Staff Safeguarding Training Pack

Train staff on spotting the signs and indicators of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) with this flexible safeguarding training pack. With a ready-made presentation to deliver to staff, two accompanying safeguarding scenarios on FGM, quiz questions, a discussion prompt and a one-minute guide to send and display, this whole pack works seamlessly to train staff in safeguarding and keeping children safe.

Created from content in KCSIE 2023, this helpful bundle contains four resources that work together to create a full training package about safeguarding and Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).

1. Staff Training Presentation - Female Genital Mutilation: A ready-to-deliver 24-slide PowerPoint presentation that outlines the signs and indicators of FGM, followed by slides that allow staff to consider and discuss what puts pupils at greater risk, other factors to be aware of and what actions they should take. The presentation has built in discussion questions and finishes with a scenario and quiz to check staff understanding about FGM.

2. Scenarios - FGM (Pre-Incident) / FGM (Post-Incident): Two editable scenarios that outlines a fictional situations about FGM. It also includes full commentary and guided considerations for the DSL or staff member leading the child protection training. Use it to gauge how effectively staff can identify the signs of abuse as well as how they’d respond in a real-life context, including further actions they’d take. The post-incident scenario also helps staff understand their statutory duties to report incidents of FGM to the police.

3. Quiz and Discussion - Female Genital Mutilation: There are five challenging multiple choice quiz questions that test your staff members’ understanding of FGM, plus a discussion prompt that can be used to kickstart your training session or as a follow-up question a few weeks later.

4. Safeguarding Snapshot - Female Gential Mutilation: This one-page, one-minute guide is perfect for following up the session by using as a training handout, displaying in your staff-only spaces or sending as part of a safeguarding e-bulletin.

The pack is purposefully designed to be flexible to suit your busy school. You could deliver the training in one slot by utilising the presentation, scenario, quiz and snapshot together. Alternatively, deliver the initial CPD by using the presentation, then use the scenarios and quiz questions in later staff meetings or future safeguarding training sessions, with the snapshot used as a reminder of the training content.
