Mandatory training on self -harm for all those working with young people.

Petition Details

Training can be either online or from visiting experts booked in to deliver a training session. Our hope is that a greater understanding of self-harm will stop it being a taboo subject, which will result in sufferers asking for and getting the appropriate support they need.

Additional Information

According to The Mental Health Foundation (2018) the UK has the highest self-harm rate of any country in Europe with estimates of 400 in 100,000 people self-harming. Additionally it is noted that the numbers may be higher due to people who do self-harm but do not tell anyone about it. Self-harm can affect anybody but according to NICE (2003) the majority of people who report self-harm are aged between 11 and 25.
