| The Northern Ireland Commissioner for Children and Young People has published a report written by Queen’s University Belfast and NSPCC about how to support and protect young people at risk ofsuicide. Recommendations include: develop a decision making tool to identify childhood adversities linked to poorer outcomes; make children identified as at risk of suicide subject to an agreed intervention plan; and provide professionals in greatest contact with young people with training on identifying and responding to depression. |
