Such infrastructure includes: the FAST (Family Assessment & Support team) who act as an intensive support service providing family support plans, initial assessments and more, upon initial referral from MASH; Training is funded for post qualified workers, eg. Practice Educators and Special Assessment Training; finally the management team is incredibly stable, with all of senior management holding permanent posts.
