The NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence) guidance is at NICE Social Anxiety Guidelines for the General Public and NICE Clinical Guidance for Healthcare Professionals
The best NHS option for parents considered about their teenager’s social anxiety is to consider a referral to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). You can find your local NHS CAMHS service via www.nhs.uk/service-search/other-health-services/child-and-adolescent-mental-health-services-camhs but more often than not, the referral needs to come from the GP.
Please also the book list at the bottom of this page.
Prevalence figures – according to the USA based “National Institute of Mental Health” – are an estimated 9.1% of adolescents (13-18) with social anxiety disorder. See https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/statistics/social-anxiety-disorder#part_2644
