Consultation responses

Social prescribing plays a vital role in addressing health inequalities, improving wellbeing, and supporting prevention across health and care systems.

As part of our evidence and evaluation work, we publish our responses to national and regional policy consultations.

This page brings together our responses to consultations from organisations.

All documents are publicly available and will be updated as new consultation responses are published.

Our consultation responses

Our approach to consultation responses

Our consultation responses are shaped by:

 

  • Published research and evaluation evidence
  • Practice insight from social prescribing services and partners
  • Lived experience perspectives
  • Equity and inclusion principles
  • A focus on prevention, community capacity, and system sustainability.

Where relevant, responses highlight:

 

  • The value of social prescribing and community‑based approaches
  • Workforce development and support needs
  • The role of the VCSE sector
  • The importance of long‑term investment and evaluation.
