This quality standard covers the initial management of self-harm and the provision of longer-term support for children and young people (aged 8 years and older) and adults (aged 18 years and older) who self-harm. The standard comprises eight statements that describe high-quality care for people who have self-harmed. These focus on: compassion, respect and dignity; initial assessments; comprehensive psychosocial assessments; monitoring; safe physical environments; risk management plans; psychological interventions; and moving between services.
