Additional documents: Minutes: Etain McDermott, Public Health Leicester City Council and Nicola Bassindale, Social Care & Education, Leicester City Council submitted a report and gave a presentation on proposals to strengthen Leicester City Council and its partners’ stance against Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). The report provided some basic information about the practice, set out what had been addressed so far in terms of the approach to FGM and provided some options for further work, drawing on examples from nationally recognised good practice to strengthen the Council’s and its partners stance against FGM.

To address this a group of officers from a range of partners had been identified and approached with a view to forming a task and finish group.
The approach had received strong support and following this a Task and Finish had been established and was scheduled to start meeting in March 2019. The purpose of the Task Group would be to gather knowledge and intelligence on the extent of FGM in Leicester, how it was being addressed by various partners and the barriers to dealing with FGM.
Membership of the Group would include:
Further members would be identified as the work progressed.
The Task and Finish Group’s purpose was to use the knowledge and intelligence it gathered to form an action plan that addresses key priorities. These might include
