new figures collated by the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC), since September 2014 3963 new cases of FGM

Children and Young People Now reports that according to new figures collated by the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC), since September 2014 3963 new cases of female genital mutilation have been indentified, but just 60 (or 1.51%) of these cases involved under-18s. This has prompted fears that families are adopting new tactics to avoid detection. The NSPCC has noted emerging anecdotal evidence that children are undergoing the procedure at a younger age, making it harder for them to speak up about it.
