Further information is also available on the Suicide prevention and Self-harm pages of the SSCP website.
Suicide Prevention
The suicide prevention care pathway provides:
- A systematic approach to identifying and addressing the needs of children and young people at risk of suicide
- Risk assessment guidance, early intervention questions and baseline risk assessment questions
- A care pathway flowchart for workers to follow
- Additional supporting information and guidance
The suicide prevention care pathway aims to:
- Standardise the response of agencies and workers to young people who exhibit suicidal thoughts (thoughts) and behaviours
- Equip workers with the practice guidance and tools needed to deal with these issues - from early intervention through to complex and ‘at risk of serious harm’ situations
- Establish the necessary support mechanisms for workers dealing with suicidal thoughts and behaviours
Who is this document for?
It is primarily for use by front line workers in contact with:
- young people who are identified as being at risk from suicidal thoughts or behaviours
- young people who need referral to, and support from, specialist services as a result of disclosing suicidal thoughts and/or attempted suicide.

The BeeU Access Team is a 24/7 Referral Service into BeeU Children’s and Family Mental Health Services (previously known as CAMHS) for emotional mental health.
At present, young people are referred into our service by a professional who knows what BeeU offers, and knows the young person.
We accept referrals from these types of professionals:
- GPs

The most common way of getting support in BeeU is by visiting your GP and discussing a referral with them. If you have any questions about this, or you are a referrer considering referring a young person, you are welcome to talk to our BeeU Access Team for emotional and mental health.
Unfortunately, we don’t accept self-referrals from young people or families.
Referrals can be sent by post, and / or emailed directly to 025spa@mpft.nhs.uk (routine) or via phone 0808 196 4501 (option 1) for urgent referrals.
