Safeguarding children - Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH)

If you believe a child is in immediate danger, please call 999 or report a crime on 101. If you have child protection concerns please call us on 0300 500 80 80 (or 0300 500 80 90 if you are a practitioner) to report them. Please note that from 6th July 2026, referrals to the MASH from practitioners about children must be made by phone, rather than using the online form or email address, which are being phased out. Referrals from members of the public and referrals about adults are unaffected

Neglect

If you are a practitioner and your concern relates to the neglect of a child please complete the neglect toolkit [Word] using the guidance [PDF] before making a referral. This is now required (as per the Neglect - Partnership Mandated Approach [PDF]) to ensure we understand a child's situation and to support multi-agency decision making with the family moving forwards. If you haven't completed it and your concern is not deemed to be an urgent concern, you will be asked to complete it.
