Excellence in Social Services Award

Social Service Innovation Award

Outstanding Team Award

Best Collaborative Practice Award

Technology Tool Award

Research Project Award

The Awards will be community-driven, with a panel of experts from across the social service community evaluating entries and selecting a shortlist, which will then be put to online voting.

ESN will grant the winners the possibility to present at the 28th European Social Services Conference that will take place in Hamburg on 30 June-2 July 2021!

In line with ESN’s ethos of promoting peer relationships and a social service community, the final decision on the headline award, the ESN Excellence in Social Services Award, is made by all those gathered at the annual awards ceremony from across the social service community, with live voting at the event.

The winner of the Excellence in Social Services Award will receive one free place to attend the conference!

Submit your project and celebrate with us innovation and excellence in social services!

"The Karin Dom Foundation received a special award last year and it provided us with visibility in and out of Bulgaria that we did not expect. Many people voted for us and started to organize their communities to support us in a way that showed their gratitude for our work, which is priceless. In the end, that was the real award we received in 2019." Karin Dom Foundation, Bulgaria

“The inaugural European Social Services Awards was a great event to be involved in, it was thought provoking and provided a vital platform and rare opportunity to hear first-hand from service providers about their innovative and life-changing work carried out across Europe.  Action for Children and our partners were deeply honoured to be recognised with the ‘Excellence’ award for our Serious Organised Crime Early Intervention Service. It was fantastic to share our work with such esteemed colleagues and a great acknowledgement for the hard and successful work undertaken by our service staff and those they support. The event was a very worthwhile experience, and we recommend others to get involved this year.” Action for
Children Director, Scotland
