Multi-Agency Information Submission Form

Have you seen or heard something suspicious but not sure about what to do with the information? Have you seen something which doesn’t feel right but you are not sure what the issue is?

Has a resident given you information about possible criminal activity?

Do you believe an adult or child is showing signs that they could be being exploited?

Safeguarding Bedfordshire offers a free virtual training session for the ‘Multi-Agency Information Submission Form’. Sessions take place on TEAMS. Click here for details.

The session covers:

• What is the Multi-Agency Information Submission Form’ (MA Form) and why was it developed?

• What makes a good submission?
• What happens when I submit an MA Form?
• What’s the difference between the MA Form and Social Care referral and/ or Crime Report?

Audience: The session is available to Bedfordshire based practitioners/ volunteers who work with children, young people and/ or vulnerable adults.

Resources: Click the links to access the MA Form, MA Form Guidance and a practitioner briefing.

Need a reminder?

We have created this short video clip (8 mins) to act as a refresher if you completed the MA Form training but need to recap on good practice when submitting a form. (It is not designed to replace the full training.)

NOTE: This is a multi-faceted form for submission of a range of information. It is NOT a substitute for a safeguarding referral(s) and should not be utilised for referral purposes. Any safeguarding referrals should continue to be submitted to the relevant safeguarding hub. However, consideration should be given to an MA form also being submitted to the Police, detailing any perceived useful and valuable information contained within the referral(s). Similarly, criminal activity should be reported via 101, or 999, as apprioriate to the sitation.
