Welcome

The European Social Network (ESN) brings together people who are key to the design and delivery of local public social services across Europe to learn from each other and contribute their experience and expertise to building effective social policy and practice.

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.

Together with our Members we are determined to provide quality public social services to all and especially to help improve the lives of the most vulnerable in our societies across Europe.
