The Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel has published a new suite of resources on adolescent suicide, designed to help practitioners strengthen their understanding and response.
Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among children in England and the second most common cause of death in serious child safeguarding incidents. Learning from reviews highlights that warning signs are often present, providing opportunities for earlier recognition and intervention.
Drawing on evidence, national learning, and practical guidance, these resources support practitioners to recognise escalating vulnerability, understand how risk can build over time, and identify ways to provide timely support.
We encourage you to explore the resources:
