answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <p>The decision by a patient to disclose female genital mutilation (FGM) to a healthcare professional is complex, and depends on many considerations. The FGM Mandatory Reporting duty (which applies only when the patient is under 18) is just one aspect of this.</p><p> </p><p>The Home Office amended the police Annual Data Requirement (ADR) to allow police forces the opportunity from April 2018 to record, on a voluntary basis, offences of FGM which were initially reported to the police under the FGM Mandatory Reporting Duty. Subject to data quality checks, we expect the first dataset under this new voluntary ADR collection to be published in late 2019.</p><p> </p><p>With this information in combination with the FGM Enhanced Dataset, published by NHS Digital, we will be able to consider whether there is evidence of impact of the FGM Mandatory Reporting duty.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 20/11/2018 14:58:30 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <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 Serious Crime Act 2015 introduced a new FGM mandatory reporting duty requiring all regulated health, social care and teaching professionals to report known cases of FGM in under 18s directly to the police.</p><p>The Home Office has published information for the professionals subject to the duty and the police on GOV.uk. This makes clear that upon receipt of a report the police will record the information and initiate a multi-agency response, in line with local safeguarding arrangements.</p><p>To improve understanding of the prevalence of so-called ‘Honour Based Violence’ including FGM, we amended the police Annual Data Requirement (ADR) to allow police forces the opportunity from April 2018 to record on a voluntary basis where a crime has been committed in the context of preserving the ‘honour’ of a family or community. This new voluntary collection is also capturing police recorded offences of FGM which were initially reported to the police under the duty.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 20/11/2018 16:17:13 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <p>The Female Genital Mutilation Enhanced Dataset is collected via the NHS Digital Clinical Audit Platform (CAP), which is an easy to use, intuitive, data submission tool that needs no specific training.</p><p> </p><p>NHS Digital has published clear guidance online to support National Health Service organisations to register to access CAP and to submit information on the system. In 2017, the process was simplified and streamlined to further support primary care practices to register on the CAP, and it was confirmed that the Senior Partner or Caldicott Guardian at a practice can submit the registration to access CAP.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 20/11/2018 14:59:47 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
