In 2012 the LGA conducted research into the key strategies and methods of effective partnership and engagement adopted by councils and faith and humanist partners in four case study areas across England: Watford, Barnet, Leicester and Pendle.
The research was primarily aimed at councils and faith and belief groups with an interest in working together, but will also be of relevance to voluntary and community sector organisations and other statutory partners.
Ensuring that you can engage effectively with these groups is essential to promoting the long-term abandonment of FGM.
