A student has told you they are suicidal
What to say, what you cannot promise, and how to hand it on without the student feeling reported.
For a teacher or tutor, in the ten minutes afterwards.
Talking to a class about suicide safely
The evidence supports doing it. It also has quite specific things to say about how.
For anyone about to teach, assemble, or address a group on this.
Supporting a bereaved student
The support that matters is mostly not in the first fortnight. It is in the year that follows, when everyone else has moved on.
For a form tutor or pastoral lead, over the months afterwards.
After a death in the school community
The single highest-stakes document on this site. Read it before you need it, because you will not have time to read it carefully when you do.
For the senior leader coordinating the response, on day one.
What to tell parents
Parents will find out. What they are told, and how quickly, determines whether they become part of the response or a second problem.
For whoever is drafting the letter.
