Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) Health Professional | Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

We are pleased due to reconfiguration to be able to offer two, part-time posts within the multi-agency integrated team responsible for assessing notifications and referrals regarding children aged 0-18 received by the MASH. The MASH process involves searching for and collating health information from a range of NHS providers with due regard to patient confidentiality, the MASH professional needs to interpret and share what is necessary to safeguard and promote the welfare of a child. The MASH has been designed to support effective information gathering and sharing within a secure, fire-walled environment. The Local Authority holds statutory responsibility for the management of notifications and referrals; decision making and planning related to the outcome of the notification or referral is made collaboratively by the integrated MASH team. This model of multi-agency cooperation is a statutory duty for all professionals delivering care to children and families.
