Suicide Prevention Strategy 2024-2029

Have your say on the refreshed Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR) draft Suicide Prevention Strategy, 2024-2029. 

 

This consultation runs from Monday 28 October to Sunday 22 December 2024

Suicide is not inevitable. The strategy describes how we plan to work together as a system across LLR to prevent suicide over the next 5 years.

The draft Suicide Prevention Strategy 2024-2029 sets out a shared vision and priorities with the overall aim of reducing the number and rates of suicide deaths across LLR, which have remained at similar levels over recent years.

The strategy was built on available data, evidence of best practice, intelligence and input from a wide range of stakeholders and experts with experience.

Suicide prevention is a shared responsibility and requires meaningful collaboration between organisations and communities so that support is embedded within our communities. In short, suicide prevention is everyone's business.

That is why we want to hear your views on the draft Suicide Prevention Strategy for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.  Your views will be used to inform the final version of the strategy, and the corresponding action plan which will detail how the priorities will be achieved.
