From 1 February 2025, all Mental Health Care Division and Community Learning Disability staff must send completed MERIT/DASH forms and copy any MARAC referrals to domesticabuse
The Safeguarding Adults Team for Mental Health Care Division/Community Learning Disability Team covering Liverpool, Sefton, and Mid Mersey Place will be quality assuring these submissions. They will provide feedback directly to the practitioner who submitted the MERIT/DASH/ MARAC as needed.
This is a two month pilot initiative aimed at addressing recurring issues with inaccuracies in the completion of MERIT/DASH referrals which comes from DHR reviews.
Staff should still contact the Trust’s Safeguarding Duty Hub if Safeguarding Advice is required which is contactable via phone on 0151 351 8484 and by email Safeguardingduty
