1 Preventing suicide A toolkit for community mental health
2 Foreword Over a quarter of people who take their own life have been in contact with mental health services in the previous year. While much improvement has been made over the last 15 years in reducing the suicide rate, there is no room for complacency. It is vital that community mental health services have the right risk management systems in place. As the Government outlined in its Consultation on Preventing Suicide in England, risk management ensuring that any potential for suicide is identified and addressed before it is too late is an integral part of good clinical care, not an extra. The service users journey may take them through community and inpatient mental health services, acute hospital services and primary care. At each step on that journey there needs to be understanding of what took place previously and what support is presently available to that individual, so that the right care can be provided in the future. This audit toolkit will help services to check whether that continuity is in place. The National Patient Safety Agency has developed this toolkit to build on the achievements of their inpatient suicide prevention tool and in recognition that suicide prevention is not just an issue for acute services. Developed in cooperation with community mental health teams, this toolkit reflects the circumstances and needs of service users as they move between different parts of the health system and into the community. I am pleased to commend this toolkit to community mental health services. Please make use of it to continue to drive up the quality of care. Professor Louis Appleby National Director for Mental Health

4 2 Preventing suicide: A toolkit for community mental health Overview and instructions This section gives details of how to use the toolkit, including an explanation of the assessment tools and the use of case note review, and an example completed audit form and checklist. The eight standards are then set out, and a list of useful resources. All the documents are available to download from The standards The eight standards are organised to look at the process of admission through to discharge of a working age adult. Accompanying these standards are detailed audit procedures which will help you measure your current practice and identify areas for improvement. It is necessary to read through each of the standards prior to commencing the general audit tool, in order to provide you with a more detailed context for each standard criteria. Assessment the general audit tool The general audit tool provides an annual method of tracking and measuring the level of care provided to patients at risk of suicide or self-harm. It provides a comprehensive view of the level of adherence to the suicide prevention standards contained in the updated toolkit, and combines a review of trust policy, environmental and patient risk assessments, and the review of a small sample of patient records. It is recommended that the general audit tool is used on an annual basis. The general audit tool contains: a performance summary and performance dashboard that are automatically generated after completing responses to each of the questions audit questions relevant to each of the eight standards an action plan that lists all actions that have not reached 100 per cent compliance in the sample of inpatient case notes reviewed. It is recommended that the general audit tool is undertaken on an annual basis. It is also recommended that organisations print the performance summary worksheet to provide both front-line staff and the board with regular feedback on the level of care. However, if your trust has a well functioning method of updating both front-line staff and the board on such matters, there is no need to adopt a new practice.
