Resources
Our resources are free to use. Some tools from other organisations may entail a cost (we will tell you if this is the case).
These are resources that ESS has developed e.g. Support guides, Method sheets, Webinars, Case studies.
You can use the ‘Year Published’ filter to select the current year to see our latest resources.
Choose either ‘Resource by sector’ or ‘Resource by theme’ to help narrow down your search, or use the search function to look for a specific resource.
This pictorial illustration of ‘the layers of support in our society’ was developed during the Threading the Needle work in Fife.
It suggests society could be depicted as being made up of three layers of support: the wider community, then the third sector, and finally the public sector. Each in turn acting as a safety net for people who need more support than the layer above can provide.
