Northamptonshire maternity services raise concerns about response to safeguarding referrals Northamptonshire’s maternity services have raised concerns about how social services are dealing with safeguarding referrals for unborn children and newborn babies.
Health professionals say there are ‘real challenges’ in the county and the NHS clinical commissioning groups have now funded two new posts to monitor and support the multi-agency safeguarding hub (MASH) which is the first point of contact for anyone who has concerns about a child at risk.
Concerns have also been raised by maternity services in relation to how Northamptonshire County Council, which runs social services, is handling safeguarding issues. Northamptonshire Telegraph
