Thematic review of deaths of children and young people through probable suicide 2013 to 2017 – Main report
Published on: 2nd January 2017
- All Wales/National
Suicide is a tragic event that causes distress for many people. It can be particularly difficult to lose a child or young person through suicide. There is rarely a single reason why a child or young person takes their own life. It is usually due to a complex interplay of risk factors, circumstances and adverse experiences. Despite this, suicide is potentially preventable.
The Child Death Review Programme committed to repeating a review of deaths of children and young people in Wales through suicide following its first review in 2014. This review was undertaken to examine factors that have contributed to suicide deaths, identify opportunities for prevention and to disseminate findings to reduce the risk of suicide for children and young people.
