FGM Specialist Network

This discrete e-platform was created with funding from the Department of Health and NHS England, and aims to provide a virtual forum of support where relevant resources can be accessed, including links to appropriate data on FGM. The e-network also acts as a confidential platform for discussion of issues or specific problems, and for sharing information and best practice in a safe space.
