This report, from Samaritans and the University of Exeter, looks at the breadth and depth of suicide prevention planning within and across local authorities in England. Specifically, the research looked at the current state of local multi-agency suicide prevention action plans, the actions contained in local plans, and the successes and challenges in suicide prevention experienced by local authorities. The findings are drawn from survey research and qualitative interviews with local suicide prevention leads, and qualitative analysis of local suicide prevention plans. The report covers actions featured in local plans according to the seven priorities: reducing the risk of suicide in key high-risk groups; improving mental health in specific groups; reducing access to the means of suicide; information and support to those bereaved or affected by suicide; support to the media; support research, data collection and monitoring; and reducing rates of self harm. The research found that almost all local authority areas have established an action plan and multi-agency suicide prevention group. There is also a commitment to collaborative working at local level. However, the research found that some areas are further ahead than others, and that local areas would benefit from collaborating with neighbouring authorities where good practice could be shared, or economies of scale savings made. In addition, over three-quarters of local authorities said they would welcome additional support nationally to improve their suicide prevention activities. (Edited publisher abstract)

This Framework describes how the NHS Long Term Plan’s vision for a place-based community mental health model can be realised, and how community services should modernise to offer whole-person, whole-population health approaches, aligned with the new Primary Care Networks. The integrated approach will provide benefits for both service users and staff, though integrated assessment, fewer referrals and more direct contact time between staff and service users. The Framework includes links to resources and good practice examples. It has been in partnership with an Expert Reference Group drawn from a range of disciplines and professions across health, social care, the VCSE sector, community groups, and users and carers.
