Making a Safe Home (MaSH)
Redesign child safety
How can we create better support to wrap around families and children, so that children at risk from neglect can stay safety at home? Program balances the provision of intensive practical supports in the family’s home with parental acceptance of accountability for areas of parenting improvement and/or development. Program elements: More collaborative use of an improved, redesigned Parent Responsibility Contract Supporting families who do not fit the current service system and require very specific, complex and joined-up supports Priority access to health and other services
