Working in partnership
Our partnership work includes:
- Our work in prisons across the UK and Ireland – in Wales we work with Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) on suicide prevention through our Listener scheme.
- Our work with the rail industry – a national partnership with Network Rail and the wider rail industry including British Transport Police and the train operating companies to reduce suicide on the railways and to support everyone affected.
- Our work in schools – we work with schools to support young people through our teaching resources and offer special support if there’s a suicide in a school community.
