Suicide in the North West: A review of non-residential and outdoor locations (20th August 2009)
To help support an effective regional response to suicide, the North West Public Health Observatory (NWPHO) were commissioned by the North West Care Services Improvement Partnership (CSIP NW) to complete an analysis of non-residential suicide locations in the North West. NWPHO worked with a multi-partner network including CSIP NW, Greater Manchester Suicide Prevention Group, Government Office North West, Samaritans, the Highways Agency and the Fire and Rescue Service, among others, to achieve this. The full results of the analysis are contained in a confidential report, in which locations of suicides are identified. However, the additional report available here discusses findings of the study (without identifying specific locations) and provides insight into non-residential and outdoor suicide sites and potential interventions in the North West and beyond.
