Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH)

The Bridgend Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub, or MASH, provides safeguarding services from both the council and our partners across the community in one place.

A MASH provides the opportunity for a higher standard of safeguarding by providing all professionals with more information on which to make better, more informed decisions.

The Bridgend MASH will enable earlier, higher-quality information sharing, analysis and decision-making. We take referrals from both professionals and members of the public.

The Bridgend MASH is made up of people from:

children’s and adult services
South Wales Police public protection unit
education
housing
substance misuse and community drug and alcohol team
probation and community rehabilitation
health
early help services
mental health services
