Safeguarding Short: FGM and Honour-Based Violence
Welcome back to another episode of our Safeguarding Shorts side series, where we unpack key safeguarding topics and explore their relevance in everyday practice.
In this episode, we’re focusing on Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and Honour-Based Violence (HBV) - complex, sensitive forms of abuse that can affect children and young people across all communities. We explore what FGM and HBV are, why they are safeguarding issues, and the crucial role professionals play in recognising risk, responding appropriately, and supporting those affected.
We discuss key indicators and warning signs, common myths and misconceptions, and the legal and safeguarding frameworks that underpin practice in the UK. The episode also considers how these forms of abuse can intersect with culture, identity, gender and control, and why a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive approach is essential, without losing sight of the child’s right to safety.
Throughout the conversation, we share practical guidance on how practitioners can create safe spaces for disclosure, ask difficult questions with confidence, and work effectively with other agencies when concerns arise. We also highlight the importance of professional curiosity, clear recording, and understanding when and how to escalate concerns.
Join us as we break down this challenging topic with clarity and care, drawing on national safeguarding guidance and real-world practice to help you feel more confident in identifying, responding to and preventing harm related to FGM and Honour-Based Violence.
