MASH Open Mornings

These sessions are for education colleagues across all school settings to come together in small groups (maximum 20) and learn more about the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) process. Keeping groups small allows for open discussion and questions.

Invitation Details

  • One person per setting per session to ensure open and flowing conversations.
  • Sessions are scheduled on different days and times to accommodate flexible working.

Location:
Westgate Collaboration Space, 2nd floor (inside the Library at Westgate Shopping Centre, Oxford – opposite County Hall).
Please note: No parking available, so allow extra time to reach Oxford city centre.

Dates and Times

  • Tuesday 13 January – 10:00 to 12:00
  • Tuesday 10 February – 10:00 to 12:00
  • Tuesday 10 March – 10:00 to 12:00

What to Expect

The Open Morning provides insight into:

  • How a referral is processed once submitted to MASH.
  • Who reviews referrals, how they are assessed, and how decisions are made.
  • The process from senior manager to worker to partner agencies.
  • Data illustrating the volume and variety of referrals.

There will be opportunities to ask questions about processes and procedures. The aim is to give you a clearer understanding of what happens after you submit a portal referral or when asked for an education check.
