Description
Vashti Berry leads a multi-site case study of social prescribing for children and young people in England, published in 2026. Such schemes link young people to community activities, yet local services shape the core parts very differently, above all for those with mental health needs.
Five varied pathways were mapped with site leads, and 34 interviews covered referrers, link workers, managers and practitioners. Referral routes were uneven, needs centred on mild mental health concerns where statutory care had gaps, and link workers often did far more than linking. From that variation the authors build a taxonomy based on setting, referral shape, link worker role and community links, to help planners compare models.
