Document Type: Harmful Practices

The National FGM Centre was commissioned by Barnet Safeguarding Children Partnership to obtain community member’s views and attitudes about a range of harmful practices. The data collection method involved the use of focus groups. Barnet Safeguarding Children Partnership’s plan is to use the findings of the focus groups to inform their violence against women and girls strategy. Therefore this report gives voice to the participants and by extension communities. It should be viewed as a starting point to build on developing pathways for change.
