    The MASH process includes searching for and collating health information from a range of NHS providers, both locally and further afield. With due regard to patient confidentiality the MASH professional needs to interpret and share the information that is necessary to safeguard and /or promote the welfare of a child.

  • Record, interpret and present health information and issues that can impact on the risk or needs assessment of children from a range of health perspectives. This may involve disclosing relevant information on the parents or carers in ensuring the information is processed fairly and proportionally.
  • Develop and implement data collection systems and MASH protocols that will provide accurate and timely data safely and effectively with due regards to the UN Convention for the rights of children, the Children Act 1989,2004 and the Human Rights Act, and also within the bounds of patient confidentiality and the Data Protection Act.
