What is Early Support and how does
it work in Lincolnshire?
Early Support is a national programme run by local councils and
Primary Care Trusts across England. It is run together with
parents, carers and practitioners to ensure that families are kept
at the heart of discussion and decision-making about their
child.
Lincolnshire’s Early Support Care Co-ordination Service (ESCO)
is available to any family living in Lincolnshire who has a child
or children under five with long term complex health needs or
disabilities. They should also require support from two or more
specialist agencies such as physiotherapy, portage, speech and
language services or occupational therapy services. By providing a
joined-up approach, the Early Support Care Co-ordination service
aims to support every child who has complex needs to access the
services they need.
