Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH)

Overview

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday: 8:30am to 5pm Wednesday 10:30am to 5pm Friday: 8:30am to 4:30pm

The MASH is the county’s first point of contact for new safeguarding concerns and has significantly improved the sharing of information between agencies, helping to protect the most vulnerable children and adults from harm, neglect and abuse.

The MASH in Nottinghamshire is one of only a handful of MASHs nationally that handles concerns about both children and vulnerable adults, taking a holistic, family approach.

Over 60 staff from the Police, Health, Probation, Schools, Children's Social Care and Adult Safeguarding are working together in the MASH office.
