Dear Mr. Bartlett,

Re: Request for Information - Multi-agency Safe Guarding Hub - Reference
Number: CHS/99BJGH

Thank you for your request for information, which was received by
Manchester City Council on 5 July 2013 and has been considered under the
provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Your question and reply:

1. Who is the Head of Children’s Safeguarding at your council? - Karen
Dolton

2. Have you set up a Children’s Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH)? - No

3. If Yes:
a)• Who is the main contact in the MASH? (Please provide name and role)
b)• Which partner agencies are part of the MASH?

4. If No, Do you plan to set up a Children’s Multi-Agency Safeguarding
Hub in: - We havent decided yet
• The next 3 month

5. Who is the Head of Adults Safeguarding at your council? - Allan
Calvert[[email address]]

6. Have you set up an Adult’s Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub? - We do not
have a "MASH" as I understand that to mean a multi disciplinary single
point of access for SG referrals. We do have a 24/7 point of access Contact
Centre which accepts referrals for social care and will redirect referrals
for other agencies including Safeguarding.

7. If Yes: N/A

8. If No, Do you plan to set up an Adult’s Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub:
- We have no current plans to establish a "MASH." However we will continue
to monitor progress on this aspect and may decide that we need to follow
the example first set by Devon.

internal review. If you wish to complain you should contact the
