This could be the perfect time for you to join us in our Safeguarding Department as a MASH Investigation Support Officer.
We’re proud that our Multi Agency Safeguarding Hubs have been nationally recognised for their best practice.

2. Undertake an analysis of collated information to evaluate and set the level of risk posed. Document decision making rationale and escalate in a timely manner where appropriate.

4. Proactively respond to requests for information from both internal and external police sources, MASH partners and other third-party agencies to support the protocols and procedures of the MASH process. Ensure any disclosure of data and information is appropriate, compliant with Force policy, current and relevant legislation.
