Main duties of the job
The post holder will work as part of a dynamic multi-agency integrated team assessing notifications and referrals regarding children aged 0-18 that are received by the MASH. The MASH process includes searching for and collating health information from a range of NHS providers both locally and further afield. With due regard to patient confidentiality, the MASH professional needs to interpret and share the information that is necessary to safeguard and/or promote the welfare of a child. The MASH has been designed to facilitate information gathering and sharing within a fire-walled environment.
The Local Authority hold the statutory responsibility for the management of notifications and referrals, but the decision and planning required to inform the outcome of the notification or referral is made by the integrated MASH team. This type of multi-agency cooperation is a statutory duty of all professionals delivering care to children and families.
The five core elements of a MASH have been agreed by stakeholders as:
1. Providing a single front door for referrals and notifications
2. Co-location of key partners
3. Provides a safe confidential environment
4. Enables analysis of risk or need on a case-by-case basis
5. Enables wider victim identification within communities

About the company
National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
