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.

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.
