Southwark Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) Referral Form

You can make a ‘Request for Help and Support’ if you think a child or family has additional emerging, complex or acute needs which require a multi-agency intervention; for example, persistent truanting, chronic/recurring health problems, or behaviour that is harmful to self and others. Before making this request you should gain consent of the child/young person or family concerned.

However, if you are worried that a child is at immediate risk of significant harm i.e. through abuse or neglect, or their condition is acute, you should make a ‘Request for Protection’. In this case you should inform the parents unless this will endanger the child’s safety.
