Before contacting the Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) you need to consider whether the child or young
person's needs can be met by services from within your own agency, or by other professionals already involved
with the family (refer to the Royal Greenwich Preventions Directory). If you are not sure about the needs of the child
or whether you should make a referral you can discuss with your Safeguarding Lead and if you are still not sure you
can call the MASH Consultation Line on 020 8921 2267 to discuss the case with professionals in the MASH.
We know that it is sometimes difficult to decide the appropriate point of intervention. To help you to determine
levels of need when making your own assessment, please refer to the threshold document.
