Children Act. 1989 (child protection) thresholds do not determinate whether or not consent should be sought within MASH. It is inherent in the idea of seeking consent that it will be refused. If professionals consider it justifiable to override the refusal in the interests of the welfare of the child then they can and must do so. This decision must be proportionate to the harm that may be caused by proceeding without consent. Where it is believed the aims of the MASH might be prejudiced if agencies were to seek consent the disclosing agency must consider the grounds to override the consent issue. The disclosure of personal information without consent is legally justifiable if it falls within one of the defined category of public interest: The Public Interest Criteria include:
Children Act. 1989 places the same agencies under a similar duty to assist local authorities in carrying out enquiries into whether or not a child is at risk of significant harm; Sections 17 enable the local authority to request help from other local authorities, and NHS bodies and places an obligation on these authorities to cooperate. Part 1 Schedule 2 Para. 1 Requires local authorities and professionals in other sectors to take reasonable steps to identify children in need. Para 4 to prevent children from suffering ill treatment or neglect.
