Multi Agency Safeguarding
A Good Practice Framework for London
Hackney Partnership Triage
What did we want?
• A whole family approach to safeguarding
• No ‘wasted’ information
• Democratisation of safeguarding
Hackney Partnership Triage
What did we find?
• Some knowledge/service gaps
• Need for specialised staff training
• Need for common understanding of risk and vulnerability
• Right people are key
Hackney Partnership Triage
Where are we going?
One Front Door
• Checks for gang links, MAT, Partnership Panel, PSRs
• Involvement of health visitors, midwives and GPs
• Involvement of probation
The vision
‘to identify and make safe at the earliest opportunity all vulnerable people in our communities through the sharing of information and intelligence across the safeguarding partnership’
Why develop the MASH• General acceptance, nationally and
locally that poor information sharing was a problem.– Lord Laming’s recommendations resulting
from the Victoria Climbié case– Lessons from serious case reviews– Outcomes from Devon’s Safeguarding
Children’s Board multi-agency audits
MASH – Why and what for• MASH was established to;• Early identification and understanding of risk
(Children and adults)• Victim identification and intervention• Harm identification and reduction through
analysis• Enable resources to be targeted against true
harm.
What MASH does in Devon• Manages Police Child Concern referrals• Contact and referrals to Early Years and
Families• Liaison with Early Response Service to
meet Children’s Social Care needs that do not require a social care assessment at level 3.
• Identifies harm to individuals and in communities
