“Higher education providers owe a duty of care to their students” 11-word text in legislation to ensure universities act responsibly. I so admire Maggie and Bob Abrahart for holding out for a totally reasonable apology, before moving on with discussions. It’s all so very sad
#Sorry seems to be the hardest word! I don’t understand this @BristolUni? How can a so-called ‘learning institution’ be so incapable of #learning? So lacking in #compassion? Lacking in #humanity? And damaging its own reputation as it puts the blinkers on? #SuicidePrevention

@ClaireCNWL in @PaulVittles at the conf you have a walking almanac of zero suicide endeavour. In the last 2 wks he's brought together 100s of the well informed committed, 1st ZS Trust, Ofsted change, Univ duty of care etc. You should grab him, now and get him into your NHS panel

Could reduce the 6500 lives lost to suicide per year by 30% in this Parliament by appointing a Zero Suicide Minister. Somebody like @PaulVittles, at the forefront of evidence based Zero Suicide. Maybe put in a word, @ClaireCNWL ?

"I would rather answer some difficult questions from my children about suicide rather than give a eulogy at their funeral" -- 3 most remarkable men of whom 2 are at the #ZeroSuicide Global Summit @RoyalLiver1911 @3dadswalking
Just heard from the ⁦@3dadswalking⁩ at today’s #ZSI5 conference. Standing ovation for the support they have given #suicideprevention. ‘I would rather answer some difficult questions from my children about suicide rather than give a eulogy at their funeral’ 💛

In the days when you could walk right up to the car, I remember being able to look at so much detail of the FW07 in front of its garage at Silverstone. It was beautifully superb, elegant but robust . . . it really did take my breath away!

You know what I'm going to say, Professor Rory O'Connor @suicideresearch , all this fine research and collaboration is noted - but 6,500 lives are, and have been, lost to suicide year in year out in the UK. What's your, personal plan to drive this to zero?

I think that badge might be for Advanced Motorists!
Tony:  I can’t pass the test.  I’ve been up seventy three times, but they keep failing me.  I just can’t get the hang of it.  Me feet are too big, that's the trouble.  They overlap.  I put me foot on the brake, half of it goes on the accelerator as well and we’re off again!

What's the single most important thing, Rory @suicideresearch that would, say halve the 6,500 deaths by suicide that we see, year in year out?
Honoured to receive American Association of Suicidology’s Dublin Award: “Lifetime achievement award for outstanding services/contributions to field of suicide prevention as evidenced by leadership, devotion & creativity” Huge 🙏🏻🙏🏻 to everyone who has been part of my journey!

As I recall (?) I was standing at the entry to Clearways at the British GP that year, first out for practice it was unfathomably quick - Terrific - So exciting !!!

Isn't it nearer 6,500 "nationally"?
So, a national newspaper thinks depicting a suicide method as political satire is amusing. Possibly not for the 3000 families who every year have to deal with the unimaginable tragedy it represents. @thetimes @BrookesTimes

Ahead of its time . . .
Kenneth (labour exchange clerk) What sort of job do you have in mind? Tony: Oh, I dont know, plenty of money, not much work, nine months a year holiday with pay, big expense allowance. Do you think that could be done? Kenneth: Yes, if you can get enough people to vote for you!

Now stepping up a gear - on the road to a Zero Suicide Society - well worth watching this Webinar. Maybe a section a day. And I'm so looking forward to taking part in the Scunthorpe Conference - which I'll be using towards the launch of a Zero Suicide Plan in the Black Country.

You know the reason @ProfLAppleby , it's because the Government doesn't have a strategy worthy of the name. Tell me, have you properly read Jordan Legacy's report, 'Moving Towards a Zero Suicide Society'? thejordanlegacy.com/moving-t…
Real-time suicide statistics released today, up to Dec 2023. Little evidence of change - figures tend to fall late in the year. Importantly, no upward trend despite many facing economic adversity. gov.uk/government/statistics…
