The National Confidential Inquiry into Suicide and Homicide by People with Mental Illness is a UK-wide research project established at the University of Manchester which examine all incidences of suicide and homicide by people in contact with mental health services in the UK, and also examine cases of sudden death in the psychiatric in-patient population. This annual report presents findings for: suicides in England and Wales for 1997-2008; suicides in Scotland 1998-2008; homicide convictions in England and Wales from 1997-2007; homicide convictions in Scotland from 1998-2008; and sudden unexplained deaths in England and Wales from 1999-2007. It includes statistics on the rates of suicide in the general population and in mental health service patients, by age group, sex, Strategic Health Authority, and by method of suicide. It also includes statistics on the rates of homicide in the general population, mentally ill people in the general population, and mental health service patients by various criteria including age and sex. For both suicides and homicides, the statistics include the number of mental health service patients who refused drug treatment and who missed their last appointment with services.

This publication draws on data from AssetPlus, an assessment and planning framework used with children by Youth Offending Teams and secure establishments across England and Wales. The report focuses on a small subset of data, relating to assessed concern types (factors that practitioners judge to be affecting the child, covering their wellbeing, how they relate to other people, social factors and issues at home or their own behaviours); care status types, looking at the child’s current and previous care history; as well as the four ratings for both Safety and Wellbeing (risk that a child’s safety and well-being is now or in the future potentially compromised) and Risk of Serious Harm (looking at the imminence and likelihood of death or serious personal injury whether physical or psychological). The data shows that a large proportion of children assessed had concerns present across most concern types, giving an indication of the vulnerability and complex needs of sentenced children within the Youth Justice System. Over 70% had a concern present for five of the 19 concern types, including safety and wellbeing, risk to others, substance misuse, speech, language and communication, and mental health. Crucially, over half of children assessed showed them to be a current or previous child in need. In the year ending March 2019, almost half of children assessed had a Medium Risk of Serious Harm rating, while 29% were rated as High or Very High – as the sentence type severity increased so did the proportion of children that had a High or Very High Risk of Serious Harm rating.

Presents data and analysis on suicide, homicides and sudden unexplained deaths in the UK between 2005 and 2015, focusing on mental health. As well as providing data for the individual countries of the UK, it also provides UK-wide data for suicide in people with eating disorders, autism spectrum disorders, people living with dementia, carers and members of the armed forces. The report also makes recommendations for clinical practice to improve safety in mental health care. Key findings show that there were 1,538 patient suicides in the UK in 2015. Northern Ireland has the highest general population suicide rate, while the rates in the other countries have fallen. There have also been downward trends in the number of suicides by patients recently discharged from hospital in England and Scotland; and suicide by mental health in-patients. Messages to improve mental health care include a renewed emphasis on suicide prevention on in-patient wards; for services to build on the recent fall in suicide following discharge from in-patient care; and for a greater focus on alcohol and drug misuse as a key component of risk management in mental health care.

Reports on the latest data about crime experienced by disabled people, including disability-related hate crime, in England, Wales and Scotland. It also covers the reporting of crime by disabled people, satisfaction with police handling of crime incidents and worry about being a victim of crime. The findings are based on analysis of The Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) The Scottish Crime and Justice Survey (SCJS), which uses a sample of adults aged 16 and over, as well as a sample of 10-15 year olds for England and Scotland. It updates an earlier analysis, ‘Crime and disabled people’, published by the Commission in 2013 and provides an analysis of change over time. The results found a decline in the total incidence of hate crime in England and Wales from 438,000 to 338,000 per year, reflecting a decrease in overall crime levels. However, in most cases experience of crime remained higher for disabled people compared with non-disabled people, with differences greatest in youngest age groups. In England and Wales experience of crime was also higher for disabled people for people with people with mental health conditions, autism, attention deficit disorder or Asperger’s syndrome. In England and Wales, disabled adults are also significantly more likely to worry about crime than non-disabled people, 46.4 per cent compared with 36.0 per cent of non-disabled adults. The analysis find some improvements in the incidence of crime and hate crime and some positive trends in the experience of crime and satisfaction with how crime is handled by the police. However, the report concludes that improvements for disabled people are generally being experienced at a slower rate than for non-disabled people. (Edited publisher abstract)

The Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) is a multi-disciplinary research project following the lives of around 19,000 children born in the UK in 2000/1. Four surveys of MCS cohort members have been carried out so far, the first of which was when the baby was aged 9 months. This report provides an overview of statistics, from MCS dataset 1 and other comparable data sources, about the attitudes, experiences and challenges faced by new parents in each of the 4 countries of the UK. It includes: parental attitudes to child rearing; maternal post-natal attachment; parental mental health; domestic abuse; parental alcohol consumption; and problems experienced by parents during the first few months. It also sheds some light on parental experiences of professional support.
