The Early Support Programme (ESP) was established by central government in 2004 and set out to develop better coordinated, family-focused services for young disabled children and their families across England. The programme is a collaboration between the Department for Children, Schools and Families and the Department of Health. This article looks at the difference the Early Support Programme is bringing to the lives of disabled children and their families. It is argued that health visitors are uniquely placed to provide these services.
