Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hubs (MASH)

Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hubs (MASH) are collaborative teams that bring together various professionals, such as social workers, police, healthcare workers, and education representatives, to protect vulnerable individuals, especially children, from harm. By sharing information and expertise, these teams assess risks more effectively and make informed decisions about safeguarding. MASH aims to streamline responses to concerns, ensuring that support is provided swiftly and collaboratively to those in need, while protecting their wellbeing and safety.
