​This is an exciting opportunity to be an integral part of the National FGM Centre. Having a UK wide remit, you will lead on supporting the objectives of the National FGM Centre.

The National FGM Centre works with professionals and in communities to educate and prevent Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), breast flattening, and child abuse linked to faith or belief (CALFB) as well as other forms of harmful practices. It was established in 2015 to achieve system change in the provision of services for children and their families who are affected by FGM. In 2017, the focus of our work was extended to include Breast Flattening and Child Abuse Linked to Faith or Belief. The aim is to prevent new cases, protect children and young people, support those affected by FGM and other harmful practices, partner to deliver services and learn.

As The National FGM Centre aims to diversify its reach, the Centre has submitted an application to the Home Office to access the Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) grant. Funding will be used to develop a Harmful Practices Network, with the NFGMC leading a consortium of By and For Grass Roots organisations across the UK between April 2023-March 2025.
