What does the MASH do?
The MASH:
- Is a ‘front door’ to manage all safeguarding referrals.
- Researches information held on professional databases.
- Provides a secure and confidential environment for professionals to share information.
- Identifies low-level repeat referrals which taken in isolation may not appear concerning.
- Prioritises referrals using a BRAG (Blue/Red/Amber/Green) rating (for more information see the MASH Process webpage)
- Refers cases to other agencies.
- Activates ‘first response’ social work services to provide immediate protection for a child.
