N2 - In principle, social prescribing offers the potential to mitigate the impact of rising presentations of young people with mental health issues on already stretched statutory services. However, we know that the universal all-age offer of social prescribing is often not taken up by those most in need, including children and young people. Thus, an offer targeted and tailored towards children and young people is appropriate1 (as it has been with, for example, older adults) but with variation in interpretation and implementation, including entry points, link worker placement, and community-based activities.
