Please do not hesitate to contact us for ANY concern that you may have during school hours.

Out of school hours please contact MASH (see below)
Whilst the information you have may not require a Child Protection referral to the MASH (Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub), it will help your DSLs to make an informed decision about the risk of harm to the child(ren) and how to move forward in order to best protect them.
