Speakers: Dr Antony Lempert & Alejandro Sanchez

In recent months, concerns about the safety of children who undergo non-therapeutic male circumcision have been raised independently by two judges, a coroner and the CPS. Building on the last seminar in November, this seminar  presents an opportunity to explore the safeguarding aspects of the practice in more detail and to ask questions from two medical professionals with specialist expertise in this area. Having identified the safeguarding concerns, we will begin to address the question as to how we ensure that children whose parents wish for them to be circumcised without a medical necessity are appropriately safeguarded from harm.
