The consultation on preventing suicide and self harm in community and custodial settings

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has created draft guidance on preventing suicide in community and custodial or detention settings. In our response to NICE’s consultation we strongly support the inclusion of voluntary organisations in all suicide prevention partnerships and encourage better data sharing between organisations. Our response is informed by previous work by the Reducing Reoffending Third Sector Advisory Group to the Ministry of Justice on effective care and support for people at risk of suicide and self-harm in prison.
