| The Isle of Wight’s Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) for children and families is now live. |
|
The Isle of Wight Council now has its own Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH). The Isle of Wight Council and partner agencies have a duty to safeguard children and young people at risk of or in need of help and protection, by working together in a coordinated way. The Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) brings together professionals from children’s social care, police, education and health providers to share information and make decisions to safeguard and promote the wellbeing of children. If Island residents are worried about a child they can report any concerns through the Isle of Wight Council’s website or by calling 01983 823435 Statement from the Director of Children’s Services We are delighted to announce that the multi-agency safeguarding hub for our children and families on the Island is now being delivered in-house by Isle of Wight Children’s Services. This significant milestone reflects our unwavering commitment to providing the highest level of care and protection for the children in our community. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Hampshire County Council for their invaluable support and collaboration over the past years. We also extend our thanks to the Isle of Wight Safeguarding Children Partnership, their expertise and dedication have been instrumental in helping us reach this point, and we look forward to continuing our strong partnership as we move forward. Together, we are making a profound difference in the lives of children and families on the Isle of Wight.
