According to the Office for National Statistics, in 2021 there were 5,219 registered suicides, an increase of 307 from 2020. This was more prominant in Males with 15.8 per 100,000 compared to 5.5 per 100,000 females (these figures are age standardised and more information can be found here). Males in the 50-54 age range were found to have the highest suicide rate at 22.5 per 100,000.

In the UK 1 in 4 people will experience some form of Mental ill Health, and this has lead to many employers now recognising and pro-actively enhancing Mental Health amongst their employees and are placing as much importance on this aspect of health, as they do when they are considering their First Aid, Fire Safety or other mandatory provision they must provide. We are able to offer 3 solutions with regard to training staff effectively in the Mental Health in the Workplace qualification.
