2025 revised multi-agency safeguarding arrangements
The 2025 revised multi-agency safeguarding arrangements (MASA) bring big changes. They are an important step for our local safeguarding partners.
These changes build on solid foundations and bring together measures to protect both children and adults. Our goal is to create strong arrangements that keep vulnerable people safe, no matter their age.

Our safeguarding approach
By adopting an all‑age safeguarding model, we aim to make our work with children, young people and adults as effective as possible. This approach helps us to:
- strengthen our family safeguarding practice
- provide better support for vulnerable young people as they move into adulthood
- make sure all children can live safe, happy lives and reach their potential
- make effective use of shared multi‑agency processes
- maintain robust safeguarding arrangements for the most vulnerable adults
Our multi-agency safeguarding arrangements
Our arrangements build on strong, established relationships between:
- Bracknell Forest Council
- NHS Frimley Health and Care Integrated Care System (ICS)

Together, these partners co‑design safeguarding arrangements for children and adults. They make sure that shared values shape and guide our work.
The Board's leadership:
- strengthens collaboration across local and regional safeguarding partnerships
- maintains a collective commitment to our shared responsibilities
