Social Worker (Social Care) - Childrens

Social Worker based in Family Help Team in MASH. The Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) brings together a number of professionals from different agencies. The agencies work together and share information and use their combined knowledge to keep children and young people safe and ensure their needs are met. The co-location of partners provides the opportunity for key agencies to share information and provide a faster, more co-ordinated response to referrals. This assists in the early identification of safeguarding concerns and ensures that better decisions are made as all the key information relating to a family is available. The social worker is responsible for triaging  contacts in the Front Door and applying LON thresholds and ensuring that families receive the right support at the right time.
