Role Overview
The post holder will work as part of a dynamic multi-agency integrated team, providing specialist safeguarding support to all clinicians - supervision, advice, guidance, and training relating to the safeguarding agenda, alongside a predominant MASH role - assessing notifications and referrals regarding children aged 0-18 that are received by the MASH. The MASH process includes researching and collating health information from a range of NHS providers both locally and nationally. With due regard to patient confidentiality, the post holder 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 holds 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 post holder will work closely with all levels of staff in other statutory and voluntary agencies in order to continue to develop a seamless service for children and families.
