Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) is a multi-agency service which makes it easier to access early targeted support when you consider a child, young person or family needs a service that requires a multi-agency response.
The focus of the MASH is to work across partner agencies ensuring families receive early help in order to reduce the need for statutory intervention.
The Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) is a part of the SPOE. The MASH aims to promote the safety and welfare of children by providing better access to the information that will help to identify safeguarding risk, underpin a clearer understanding of need and lead in turn to effective and proportionate interventions and support.
The MASH way of working ensures that children and young people have a better chance of receiving the service that is suitable for them, and we spot any potential problems earlier.
If you have a safeguarding concern about the welfare of a child or young person, please complete a Child Protection referral via the online Children’s Portal:
