Description:<\/span><\/strong><\/span> Active signposting<\/strong> is the form of signposting<\/strong> most commonly employed by those in a social prescribing practitioner<\/a> role. Signposting<\/strong> is a very light touch form of social prescribing<\/a> which involves simply pointing the individual in the direction of potentially useful or helpful community assets<\/a>. By comparison, active signposting<\/strong>, which forms part of the light, medium and holistic models of social prescribing<\/a>, requires the social prescribing practitioner<\/a> to have a more in-depth knowledge about the individual and the available community assets<\/a> so that the signpost is meaningful and relevant to the individual. This form of social prescribing<\/a> works best for people who are confident and skilled enough to independently access community assets<\/a> after a brief intervention.<\/p>\n

Signposting<\/strong> and active signposting<\/strong> are also performed by a broad range of non-social prescribing roles, such as Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) and existing members of staff at a practice (generally receptionists) who provide information and choice by signpost people to services, using local knowledge and resource directories.<\/p>\n
