It is now mandatory for health, social care professionals and teachers to report to the police all under-18s where female genital mutilation (FGM) has been disclosed by the child or where physical signs of FGM are seen. Such referrals are likely to result in a request for medical examination. New multiagency statutory guidance sets out instructions for physical examination but provides no details how services should be set-up. This review gives practical guidance learnt from the first year of the UK's only dedicated children's FGM service.
现在，健康与社会护理专业人员以及教师必须向警方报告所有18岁以下的儿童，只要这些儿童透露自己遭受过女性生殖器切割（FGM），或者身上有女性生殖器切割的体征。此类转介很可能会导致要求进行医学检查。新的多机构法定指南规定了体格检查的说明，但未详细说明应如何建立相关服务。本综述提供了从英国唯一专门的儿童女性生殖器切割服务的第一年所学到的实用指南。
