The National Service Framework for Mental Health set prevention of suicide as one of its seven standards for improving mental health care. This standard is supported by Safety First, the most recent report of The National Confidential Inquiry into Suicide and Homicide by People with Mental Illness. The Confidential Inquiry analysed reports of all suicides by mental health service users. The Inquiry team put forward a large number of recommendations. This audit tool aims to assist mental health services in implementing these recommendations and provides a simple, cost-effective way of measuring existing service standards. It addresses issues of concern along the entire pathway of care from assertive outreach to admission to an in-patient service through to community care. It also covers family/carer involvement, post-incident review and preventive work such as development of a dual diagnosis strategy and liaison with criminal justice agencies.
