A breakdown of this information by region is available at: www.hscic.gov.uk, as are earlier reports.</p><p>In addition, data released by the Ministry of Justice on 31 March shows that since their introduction in July 2015, 32 FGM Protection Orders were issued between July and December 2015.</p><p>A new mandatory reporting duty requiring regulated health and social care professionals and teachers to report known cases of FGM in under 18s to the police came into force on 31 October 2015. The duty will help increase the number of referrals to the police in order to deter perpetrators and in turn prevent this appalling crime from happening.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 04/05/2016 15:49:44 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
