With the support of the Scottish Government, the Women's Support Project has developed a range of information materials on Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).  These materials include:

• a Scottish DVD (Sara's Story) outlining the law, child protection prevention work in communities and services for women and girls who have experienced FGM;
• Information leaflets for practitioners highlighting key points, good practice, resources and services, and a standardised training package and risk assessment tool and
• an FGM statement that sets out the law in relation to FGM in Scotland.  The purpose of this statement is to allow a person who may be at risk to show it to friends or relatives when travelling abroad to remind them that FGM is a serious offence in Scotland and the UK and that there are several penalties (up to 14 years in prison) for anyone found guilty of the offence.
