<p>Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is a crime and it is child abuse. The Government
is clear that we will not tolerate a practice that can cause extreme and lifelong
suffering to women and girls.</p><p>The Home Office’s FGM unit is driving a step change
in our nationwide out-reach on FGM. The Unit is providing outreach support to local
areas and working to raise awareness of resources available to professionals, including
training, best practice examples and information on legislation and policy. Resources
include an e-learning package, various communication materials such as leaflets and
posters highlighting the legislation and health impacts of FGM and an online resource
pack for local areas. These materials are available at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/female-genital-mutilation-leaflet"

FGM communications campaign and materials were developed following consultation with
the FGM sector and the need for easy read materials was not raised during this consultation.
These materials are not available in Easy Read format but have been drafted to be
accessible to those with a basic understanding of English.</p>
