Multi-agency guidance on female genital mutilation (FGM) setting out the responsibilities of staff and organisations with statutory duties to safeguard children and vulnerable adults. The guidance provides: information on FGM, including on the law on FGM in England and Wales; strategic guidance on FGM for chief executives, directors and senior managers; and advice and support to front-line professionals. Advice to front-line professionals focuses on three areas: helping them to identify when a girl or young woman may be at risk of FGM; helping them to identify when a girl or young woman has had FGM; and responding to FGM and implementing measures that can prevent and ultimately help end the practice of FGM. Information contained in the guidance may also be relevant to organisations working with women and girls at risk of female genital mutilation (FGM) or dealing with its consequences. The guidance was replaced with an updated version in 2020.

Assessment of the Education and Adoption Bill provisions on schools and adoption and of their impact on: the public sector equality duty, the family test, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), and child poverty. The report suggests that the provisions in the Bill will facilitate more schools becoming academies and that streamlining intervention measures and facilitating swifter transfer of failing and (where appropriate) coasting maintained schools to academies with effective sponsors will ‘advance equality of opportunity’ for affected pupils. The report also argues that the introduction of regional adoption agencies, which will work across local authority boundaries and in partnership with voluntary adoption agencies, will result in a reduction in the number of children waiting to be adopted, especially those waiting over 18 months.

The Children and Families Bill will bring changes to the special educational needs (SEN) framework, subject to royal assent. This draft statutory guidance proposes replacing SEN statements (for schools) and learning difficulty assessments (for young people in further education and training) with single 0 to 25 education, health and care plans. (The consultation closed on 9 December 2013.). This Code of Practice is statutory guidance from the Department for Education on duties, policies and procedures relating to Part 3 of the Children and Families Bill and associated regulations. The Code provides practical advice on how to carry out statutory duties to identify, assess and make provision for children and young people with special educational needs (SEN). Its key principles are: involving children, parents and young people in decision making; identifying children’s and young people’s needs; greater choice and control for parents and young people over their support; collaboration between education, health and social care services to provide support; high quality provision to meet the needs of children and young people with SEN; and supporting successful preparation for adulthood.

This guidance encourages agencies to cooperate and work together to protect and support those at risk of, or who have undergone, FGM. It should be considered in conjunction with other relevant safeguarding guidance, including, but not limited to, ‘Working Together to Safeguard Children’ (2018) in England or ‘Working Together to Safeguard People: Volume 5 – handling cases to protect children at risk’ (2018) and ‘Volume 6 – handling cases to protect adults at risk (2018) in Wales.
