ESN brings together directors of social work and social care services working at the local level. Member organisations are national or regional associations of directors of social services, individual regions, provinces, counties and cities and research, development and regulatory bodies working alongside directors of social services in shaping services for the local community.

We also can provide detailed reporting that helps policymakers in their subsequent decision making. Solutions can be based on different options, ranging from paper to chip cards. The choice of solution must take account of the programme’s objectives.
