The MASH will bring the following benefits:

- an improved ‘journey’ for the child with greater emphasis on early intervention and better informed services provided at the right time
- greater ability to identify potential vulnerability, enabling more preventative action to be taken, dealing with case before they escalate
- closer partnership working, clearer accountability and less duplication of effort
- a reduction in the number of inappropriate referrals and re-referrals to Children’s Social Care
