Agenda item

The Board noted the minutes of the meeting on 13 January 2014. Councillor Fox requested that his name be added to the attendance list as he was in attendance at the meeting.

Councillor Brett updated Members on the first meeting of the FGM working group, which had involved three organisations, namely the NSPCC, FORWARD and the British Arab Federation. Two key issues arose from the first meeting, firstly there needed to be better data collection and secondly there needed to be better models of engagement in reaching out to local communities. There was one more scoping meeting planned for April, at which a work programme would be discussed.
