The Suicide Prevention Profiles have been produced to help develop understanding at a local level and support an intelligence driven approach to suicide prevention. It collates and presents a range of publicly available data on suicide, associated prevalence, risk factors, and service contact among groups at increased risk. It provides planners, providers and stakeholders with the means to profile their area and benchmark against similar populations.
Data are presented under the domains: Suicide data, Related risk factors, and Related service contacts. Domains group data by geography (Clinical Commissioning Group or Local Authority) and within that are ordered by topic (e.g. the CCG ‘Related service contacts’ domain presents data on primary care, then IAPT, then specialist care, and ends with emergency care).
Important note on female suicide data – the local authority level age group specific crude rates reported are those for the region in which the local authority resides.
