A major milestone for adult safeguarding in Calderdale has been achieved with the launch of the new Adult Safeguarding Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH).
Following the SAB Development Day in October 2025, partners have worked collaboratively to turn this ambition into reality, with the MASH now co-located at Princess Buildings.
The hub currently brings together 17 colleagues from Adult Services and Wellbeing, with police and health partners joining shortly. This is a significant step forward for Calderdale and directly responds to learning from Safeguarding Adult Reviews, where stronger multi-agency working and information sharing have been recurring themes.
By bringing partners together, the MASH will support earlier identification of risk, more coordinated responses, and better outcomes for adults with care and support needs. The SAB is delighted to see this development become a reality and looks forward to supporting its continued embedding, development and evaluation over the coming months.
