Using the national suicide prevention strategy developed by the APPG on Suicide Prevention in 2012, recommendations in the Government publication the Five year Forward View for Mental Health, PHE resources for local Suicide Prevention Planning, NICE Guidance on Preventing suicide in community and custodial settings, and best practice examples of plans and initiatives already doing excellent work in the capital, this document sets out a model Suicide Prevention framework, designed to assist and augment borough Suicide Prevention plans by facilitating shared learning and disseminating innovative and effective practice.
The London-wide Suicide Prevention framework, developed in collaboration with a wide network of partners, fits a collective vision for a happier, healthier and more prosperous London, where everyone is able to thrive.
