Enhanced Support Network
Local agencies have come together to improve outcomes for children, young people and their families. Each area of Warwickshire has an Enhanced Support Network that ensures effective integrated multi-agency responses to the additional needs of children and young people aged 0-19.
The key driver for the development of the ESN is to improve outcomes for children, young people and families, especially those considered vulnerable, and to build safer communities
The diagram demonstrates the 4 levels of needs.The network covers the ground from the borders of level 1 across level 2 to the border with level 3.
ESN is the bridge between universal services and specialist intensive support services. The aim is to build resilience and independence to enable families to respond to the changes and challenges life brings.
The ESN addresses emerging needs such as
- Children experiencing difficulties at school in relation to learning and behaviour
- Low attendance and poor social bonding with school & community
- The impact on children of family breakdown
- Children and young people showing signs of antisocial behaviour
- Concerns about children and young peoples physical and mental health
- Parents seeking parenting support
