The report seeks approval to extend additional
temporary arrangements within the targeted early help team in the
Children’s Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) through to 30
September 2021.
This is to provide additional capacity for the team during a period
in which: there will continue to be significant change to systems
and processes, and there will be increased demand due to Covid-19.
The additional capacity will prevent a dip in performance in the
MASH which needs to triage large numbers of concerns about
children’s welfare within 24 hours of the information being
received.
