ESN Members
Members are national associations or groups of directors of local authority social services, social protection and social welfare from European countries, politically independent of national, regional or local government. In some countries directors also manage health or other services such as education, housing, youth work and employment services. Independent associations of directors of social services are eligible to beepresented on the ESN Board.
ESN members also include a wide range of organisations including regional and local authorities, government and public authorities working in social and health care sector and research institutes.
Network members contribute to ESN positions on European policy and help to raise the profile of social services as policy stakeholders. They establish contacts and work transnationally with managers and professionals from other European countries in the social care sector.
Our members benefit from reduced fees and privileged advance information about ESN and other seminars and conferences. The secretariat supports the network with regular e-mail communications about our activities and policy and good practice reports in several languages.
