Key External Contact Details
External responsibilities and therefore details of any external personnel named below may be subject to change without notification to the school.
Surrey MASH for Children at Risk and Children in Need / Early Help / Intervention and Assessment Services Children who have suffered or are likely to suffer significant harm are children at risk.
Children who are in need of additional support from one or more external agencies are children in need.
Concerns about a child: If a child has suffered/likely to suffer harm, the DSL must immediately report this to SCS. Children in need of additional support from one or more agencies: The DSL refers students immediately to the Surrey Early Help Partnership Service using the inter-agency assessment process via the Early Help Assessment (EHA) Form, thus utilising the “Team around the Child” (TAC) approaches in line with the referral threshold set by the Local Safeguard Children Board. A referral can be made direct or through Surrey MASH.
