FGM cases 'on the rise,' claims NSPCC
CHILDREN’S charity NSPCC warned yesterday that investigations into female genital mutilation (FGM) cases were on the increase yet police were failing to charge individuals.
Forces revealed dozens of suspected FGM offences had been recorded over the last three years but only a handful of arrests had been made in that time.
The NSPCC said the lack of convictions highlighted the “tough challenge” facing police.
