Children are exposed to news in many ways, and what they see can worry them. Our advice can help you have a conversation with your child:

listen carefully to a child's fears and worries

offer reassurance and comfort

avoid complicated and worrying explanations that could be frightening and confusing

help them find advice and support to understand distressing events and feelings

children can always contact Childline free and confidentially on the phone and online.

Dealing with bullying and abuse

It's also important to address bullying and abuse following terrorist attacks.

Some children may feel targeted because of their faith or appearance
Look for signs of bullying, and make sure that they know they can talk with you about it. Often children might feel scared or embarrassed, so reassure them it's not their fault that this is happening, and that they can always talk to you or another adult they trust. Alert your child's school so that they can be aware of the issue.

Dealing with offensive comments about a child's faith or background
If you think your child is making unkind or abusive comments, it's important to intervene. Calmly explain that comments like this are not acceptable. Your child should also understand that someone's beliefs do not make them a terrorist. You could ask them how they think the other child felt, or ask them how they felt when someone said something unkind to them. Explain what you will do next, such as telling your child's school.

Answering questions about terrorism

How FGM happens

The term FGM covers all harmful procedures to the female genitalia for non-medical purposes. There are 4 types - all are illegal and have serious health risks.

FGM ranges from pricking or cauterizing the genital area, through partial or total removal of the clitoris, cutting the lips (the labia) and narrowing the vaginal opening.

Even partial removal or 'nipping' can risk serious health problems for girls and women.

The cutting is made using instruments such as a knife, pair of scissors, scalpel, glass or razor blade.

Labia elongation, also referred to as labia stretching or labia pulling, involves stretching the labia minora, sometimes using sticks, harnesses or weights. Currently under-researched in comparison to other types of FGM, a 2016 study by the charity Afruca focuses on labia elongation and makes recommendations for raising awareness amongst practitioners and communities ( AFRUCA, 2016).

FGM is usually performed by someone with no medical training. Girls are given no anaesthetic, no antiseptic treatment and are often forcibly restrained.
