Early Support Care Coordination Team (ESCO)

The early support materials provide a framework that families are able to use, whatever their child’s needs. These materials can be downloaded free of charge from the link below.

Early Support is relevant to all agencies that provide services for families:

• Hospital and clinical settings
• Children’s centres
• Mainstream Early Years settings
• A range of specialist support agencies, including portage services , sensory support services etc
• Voluntary organisations.

Early Support promotes services for families and children that work in partnership with parents and carers, so that families are at the heart of discussion and decision-making about their child.

Early Support integrates service planning and delivery, particularly when families are in contact with many different people and agencies. This is achieved through care co-ordination schemes that provide key workers for families. The care co-ordination scheme in Lincolnshire is called ESCO (Early Support Care Co-ordination)
