MASH Open Mornings
We are pleased to confirm that MASH Open Mornings will continue throughout the 2025–2026 academic year. These sessions are designed for education colleagues across all school settings to come together in small groups (maximum 20 participants) to learn more about the MASH process.
Groups are kept small to encourage open discussion and questions. Each session is limited to one attendee per setting to support meaningful and flowing conversations.

The Open Morning offers insight into the referral process once submitted to MASH, including:
- How referrals are triaged
- The journey from senior staff to workers and partner agencies
