Multi Agency Referral Form (MARF)
|
This form should only be used to make a referral to Sandwell’s child protection Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH).
If a child is at imminent significant risk of harm/immediate danger, you should consider calling 999 in the first instance (for Police or an Ambulance) and contacting children’s social care by telephoning Sandwell's Contact Centre on 0121 569 3100 (out of office hours is the same number). You will also be expected to complete a MARF without delay.
If the child is in no immediate danger you must complete a MARF as soon as possible and within a maximum of 24 hours.
Send the MARF by secure email to access_team@sandwell.gcsx.gov.uk with the subject title MARF
(For those agencies who do not have secure email, please password protect the MARF before sending, and telephone Sandwell's Contact Centre to advise them of the password)
For guidance on completing the MARF please see the accompanying Sandwell MARF Guidance and Multi Agency Thresholds documents
