About this listen

Detective Constable 9773 Gillian Squires MBE joins Hazel as this weeks expert guest to explain about Female Genital Mutilation (FMG) and the effects of school children; why we need to be educating children; what are the signs; what should the education sector do to prevent it.

Gill has represented WMP on the West Midlands FGM taskforce, and is a member of the Home Office FGM Stakeholder and Enforcement Groups consulting regarding development of best practice and implementation of legislation. Gill has recently been seconded to the Home Office FGM Unit, where she devised and delivered a series of 10 multi agency roadshows across the UK raising awareness of Protection orders.


Gill engages with professionals and communities providing training, and extends a hand of friendship to break down barriers, assist identification and promote reporting.


Gill has been awarded a Women in Policing ‘Special recognition’ award for her dedication and pioneering FGM work, and was proud to be invested as a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 2018 by HRH Prince Charles.
