A female genital mutilation (FGM) awareness event held in Burton last week has been hailed as a success.
Staffordshire’s deputy police and crime commissioner Sue Arnold attended the event hosted by ABC Training Services at Anglesey Training Centre.
The event was part of a wider campaign to eradicate the risk of FGM for girls in the UK.
Mrs Arnold said: “There is no justification for female genital mutilation and we must commit our resources, our expertise and our determination to eradicating this practice from Staffordshire and beyond,
“The event was a great success. ABC Training Service plays an important part in the ongoing momentum to raise awareness and join together to tackle FGM.”
An online flashmob last week also saw 250 people share the campaign’s message.
