A panel of expert judges are currently evaluating the applications received for the European Social Services Awards (ESSA). This year ESSA are under the theme of ‘Innovation for Social Change’ and are awarding successful new approaches and the extraordinary ongoing work done by public social services managers, funders, planners, providers, and deliverers of social services.

In order to reflect the nature of ESN as a platform for the wider social services community as well as a network of experts, an online public vote will be held for all shortlisted applications that will be combined with the judges scores to determine the winners. The online public vote is expected to open in early October.
