The National Suicide Prevention Strategy
The National Suicide Prevention Strategy is the first major deliverable for the National Suicide Prevention Office. It brings together first-hand evidence provided by people with lived and living experience of suicide, the latest research, and recommendations from existing inquiries and reports.
The National Suicide Prevention Outcomes Framework
The National Suicide Prevention Office is establishing the National Suicide Prevention Outcomes Framework to provide a way of measuring the impact of efforts being made in suicide prevention. It does this by providing a more meaningful and complete picture of what is working well and what needs to be improved.
