Female Genital Mutilation: Training
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 5 November 2025 to Question 87001 on Female Genital Mutilation: Training, what categories of reasons were allocated to the people who registered but did not attempt the free e-learning training on female genital mutilation.
Answered by Jess Phillips
We have issued a range of materials to support professionals to help them understand Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), spot the signs, and support victims and survivors. This includes making available free e-learning for all frontline staff for example in healthcare, police, Border Force and children’s social care.
From 1 November 2023 to 31 October 2024, 121,773 people registered for the free e-learning module on FGM. Of that number, there were 17,999 ‘Not attempted’. As this is a free e-learning module and not mandatory, we do not hold information regarding reasons for not attempting or completing the module.
