Research exploring the role of social prescribing link workers in rising referral rates, differing accounts of demand and guidance services.

Citizen’s Advice (CA), a national Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) service, and National Association of Link Workers (NALW) are conducting a research to explore the role social prescribing link workers play in CA’s rising referral rates, why published and local accounts of demand may differ, and the impact this has on local IAG services.

We are asking you to complete this questionnaire if you are an individual social prescriber/link worker or social prescribing programme manager/lead with a caseload.  

We want to hear about your experiences on receiving referrals, referring clients to services, and supporting clients by signposting to services. We want to know your views on how social prescribing referrals are recorded. This research is very important to help us begin to understand the full impact of social prescribing.

Deadline for completion: 14th February 2023.
If you have any questions please email research@nalw.org.uk.
