Myself, @hopestevep & @jordanlegacyUK have supported the efforts of people & orgs like @3dadswalking & @PAPYRUS_Charity campaigning for appropriate #SuicideAwareness & #SuicidePrevention in schools. Our petition will keep the pressure on, so please sign:

got 10K signatures on their petition for #SuicideEducation in #schools. Govt said it would consider "whether" to act. They got 170K signatures. @educationgovuk still said "whether". In the new National Strategy, it's still "whether".

Of course, there must be engagement with all key stakeholders #education specialists; #SuicidePrevention specialists; #schools #teachers #parents #pupils #students #YoungPeople before deciding precisely what/how/who but surely we're past "whether"?!

In addition to our many 1-to-1 conversations & research interviews, group discussions & online forums, @jordanlegacyUK has designed & run two panel discussion events on this topic: 19/04/23 (inc 1 of the @3dadswalking) 29/03/22

In these panel discussion events & other forums, we're always asked precisely what would be in the #schools curriculum, how it would be 'taught' (or facilitated) & who would 'deliver' it (or 'facilitate' it). Once the Govt accepts that we need it, we can discuss these details.

There seems to be much agreement about broader #wellbeing content for #schools & we can turn to people like @wearebey0nd for evidence of what works. Then let's make that universal. We then need wide & deep discussion re specific #SuicideAwareness & #SuicidePrevention content.

Key points from @jordanlegacyUK research on #SuicidePrevention in #schools: 1) kids are talking about & exposed to suicide from a young age so let's properly support them! 2) huge opportunity to help & minimal risk of harm! 3) kids often better at talking about it than adults!

Hopefully, the ongoing advocacy & campaigning from people & orgs like @3dadswalking & @PAPYRUS_Charity, which has gone further than ever before, will get us #SuicideEducation in #schools, but we must all support & keep the pressure on. So please sign👇

When we ask for #SuicideAwareness in #schools, it's not just about protecting #children & #YoungPeople, it's about #SuicidePrevention for #teachers & staff (& parents & local community). Schools are #workplaces too & we must improve #workplace #safety

If you think "we must do something in schools" to help get suicide numbers down", please Repost my video post above🙏 @philippa_east @herobelfast @KITTYKATcpfc @Leftie_laura @actuallyeducic @SvladCjelli42 @agclayland @e4billycab @CatherineAdene3 @mini_lebowski @AlbosUk @grump999
