All-Party Parliamentary Group on Suicide and Self-harm Prevention

All-Party Groups are informal groups of Members of both Houses with a common interest in particular issues. The APPG on on Suicide and Self-harm Prevention aims to o raise awareness within Parliament and encourage discussion and debate of all issues involved in suicide and self-harm prevention.

As a result of the AGM in 2022, the following Members were elected:

• Liz Twist MP - Chair
• Jason McCartney MP – Vice Chair
• Ian Levy MP - Vice Chair
• Rachael Maskell MP - Vice Chair
• Karin Smyth MP – Treasurer

In 2020, the APPG undertook an inquiry into the support available for young people who self-harm. In undertaking the inquiry, the APPG brought together experts through oral evidence sessions, as well as collecting written evidence, to better understand what services exist for young people who self-harm, how effective these are, and how they can be improved.

Thank you to all those who submitted evidence to the inquiry. It has now been completed, and you can download its final report below.
